Joe Miller \Joe" Mil"ler\ [From Joseph Miller, a comic actor, whose name was attached, after his death, to a popular jest book published in 1739.] A jest book; a stale jest; a worn-out joke. [Colloq.]

It is an old Joe Miller in whist circles, that there are only two reasons that can justify you in not returning trumps to your partner's lead; i. e., first, sudden illness; secondly, having none.
--Pole.

"stale joke," 1816, from Joseph Miller (1684-1738), a comedian, whose name was affixed after his death to a popular jest-book, "Joe Miller's jests, or the Wit's Vade-mecum" (1739) compiled by John Mottley.

Joseph Miller (1684 – 15 August 1738) was an English actor, who first appeared in the cast of Sir Robert Howard's Committee at Drury Lane in 1709 as Teague.

Trinculo in The Tempest, the First Grave-digger in Hamlet and Marplot in Susanna Centlivre's The Busybody, were among his many favourite parts. He is said to have been a friend of Hogarth.

In 1715 he appeared on bills promoting a performance on the last day of April, where he played Young Clincher in Farquhar's comedy, "The Constant Couple or a Trip to the Jubilee".

On 25 April 1717 he played Sir Joseph Whittol in William Congreve's "Old Batchelor". Tickets for this performance were adorned by a design by William Hogarth showing the scene where Whittol's friend Captain Bluffe is kicked by Sharper whilst his friend Bellmour tries to pull him away. This is described as a "very valuable engraving" in 1868. This ticket design was used for Joe Millers benefit performance on 13 April 1738.

In "vacation periods" between working at Drury Lane, he performed for William Pinkethman's company.

He frequented the "Black Jack" tavern on Portsmouth Street in London, which was a favourite of the Drury Lane players and those from Lincoln's Inn Fields. Allegedly he was very serious in the bar and this led to an in-joke whereby all his companions ascribed all new jokes to him.

His final performance was on 13 April 1738.

On his death on 15 August he was buried at St Clement Danes on Portugal Street, London. This churchyard was later built over by Kings College Hospital. The grave is therefore lost.

Joe Miller played for the New York Americans in 1928 when he was sent to the minors after being waived by the Americans. By an interesting set of circumstances his Stanley Cup opportunity arose. His season with Niagara Falls over, Miller was at home in Ottawa when New York Rangers goaltender Lorne Chabot was injured in the second game of the Stanley Cup Final. Rangers coach and General manager Lester Patrick asked the Americans and the Maroons for permission to use Miller for the remainder of the series. The American agreed but Montreal Maroons head coach Eddie Gerard forced Lester Patrick to play goal for the rest of that game. Miller was the designated backup for all NHL teams at the time, and he was loaned to the Rangers. Miller played three games for the Rangers and won the 1928 Stanley Cup for the New York.

Miller later played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Philadelphia Quakers. He wore uniform number 1.

Joe Miller or JOEE (born July 29, 1987 in Rotherham, England) is a British commentator. He started his career as an eSports caster at gaming tournaments, working his first event shoutcasting Battlefield 1942 (short: BF1942). The 3D World War II first-person shooter (FPS) video game was coincidentally also the first game Miller played at a competitive level. At age sixteen, he began to commentate BF1942 games at home in the UK, pushing out as many audio commentaries as he could. In an interview with JP McDaniel (host of Real Talk on YouTube), Miller revealed that it was a “big jump” from the audio commentaries he initially produced to the audio-video commentaries we are accustomed to today.

Miller's big break came when he joined TsN, through which he cast the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) World Tour in 2005, arguably the “most definitive moment” of his early eSports career. From there he went on to work as a broadcaster for numerous professional video game leagues including the World Series of Video Games (WSVG), Championship Gaming Series, DreamHack and various Electronic Sports League (ESL) events. In amongst these achievements he worked as General Manager for Fnatic back when they were based in Southampton as well as joining the QuadV team, headed by fellow casters Leigh “Deman” Smith and Paul “ReDeYe” Chaloner.

Although Miller is known for casting competitive Counter-Strike and Quake Live tournaments, recently he has made a name for himself in League of Legends (LoL).

Miller currently resides in Cologne, Germany and speaks fluent German.

Notable recent achievements include casting the Riot League of Legends tournaments at Gamescom 2013 and securing a casting position at LoL World Championships hosted in Los Angeles. It was recently announced soon after the European LoL Regionals at Gamescom 2014 that he would also be casting at the 2014 League of Legends World Championship in Taipei, Singapore and the South Korean cities of Busan and Seoul.

On December 3, 2014 Miller announced he would be leaving the EU LCS production.
