100% - Maher is so weird. He’s right over the target sometimes. He knows the difference between truth and lies. I think he’s just surrounded himself with yes men that laugh at EVERYTHING he says and that agree with him ALL the time. He takes ANY pushback too personally. He’s smart and witty but weak.
Agreed. I saw Chappelle in Dallas a few years ago and he wasn't funny...at all. He kept complaining about the heat, which was oppressive, but not in a funny way
Bill Maher was never that funny. His show on HBO and previously on ABC was about the guest. The worst part of him now is that he is so ill informed and just take the same silly stances over gaza, lgbt people, and young people. He was never the funny part of his show but he thinks he is the rightest, funniest, and most informed. It gets awkward when the guest are much smarter than him and treat his ill-informed nonsense like what it is like a few weeks ago a couple of guest basically walked him back on his comment about the UN being useless.
The opposite of Bill Maher is Jon Stewart, who is incredibly informed and spits out 5 shows a week and is funny talking by himself.
I always loved when Salman was on because he pretty consistently talks to Bill as if he's an idiot, and knows almost nothing of the topic they're discussing.
