Josh-da-man

Maher has been a stand-up comedian for decades, and has appeared in various bit-parts in sitcoms like Roseanne and Married with Children. He was also in DC Cab playing one of the cabbies.

And has one starring role in a major motion picture:

Norm de Plume

I haven't seen any of those things. This was the first time I had seen him as an actor. He was not terrible. I actually haven't seen him regularly since P.I. was cancelled, as I don't get HBO. I always figured the Comedy Channel up here would pick up Real Time, but it never happened.

And didn't make out too bad; at the end of the movie, his character got the girl:

coli

How is Maher a bigot?

Returns tonight. He better not let Conway off.

Paff

He will. Count on it. It will be a softball interview. That's one of the main reasons I quit watching his show regularly.

That said, I will be tuning in tonight to watch him separate his shoulder patting himself on the back over how right he was about Trump's post-election behavior.

Daytripper

Ugh. Exactly.

They're playing sooooooooftball

From Maine to San Diego

Eh, letting Conway spout her usual bullshit, supporting Trump. She says so much nonsense in a short period of time it was hard for him to keep up. She actually defended his record on COVID.

cultshock

Afraid not, his show is exclusive to HBO Canada up here, so it would never be shown on another Canadian channel.

The interview with Conway was predictably annoying and useless. Not sure why he bothers, did they used to bang or something?

Eric F

Who knows, she said absolutely nothing in 10mins other than she was the victim, She’ll never work again, other than maybe for one of the ultra right wing media agencies like Fox or Newsmax.

Count Dooku

She's been coming on his show since he was on ABC over 20 years ago. He has trouble booking GOP guests, and I'm certain he appreciates her willingness to still appear.

Also, she's married to a guy who hates Trump's guts, so why can't Bill be friends with her?

I enjoyed Katie Couric calling Maher on his "tragedy magnet" joke about Biden. Of course, then he tried to play it off as he was referring to Biden's broken foot, not his dead wife and son.

Runaway

I actually believe, he didn't think about his tragic family history, when he said it. I didn't either, than Katie Couric intervened and then he realized his faux pas and played it off.

Count Dooku

Open for debate if the joke was in good taste but the observation is valid. Biden has made it a part of his politics by claiming that all the tragedies in his family have made him an empathetic person in contrast to Trump.

Daytripper

I thoroughly enjoyed Couric on the show. He allowed her to talk quite a bit, which he normally doesn't do. As a few of you have pointed out here, he's constantly interrupting his guests.

WCChiCubsFan

What I like is when Bill tried to interrupt Couric she basically shut him down and finished her comment. You could see Bill wasn't used to being told to let me finish then you can speak.

Daytripper

He didn't look irritated or annoyed though, like he normally does. To me it looked like he was enjoying her input. I definitely think he respects her.

Runaway

I am pretty happy that they are still using the set with an audience and a real panel. The shows from is house were awful, the monologue didn't work, because he didn't get any feedback and the gimmick of using footage of audience became old after one episode.
The interviews weren't that good either since you could have a real discussion.
The two appearences of Jay Leno were just horrible.

Count Dooku

On Seth Meyers with the writers in the minimal audience, it's funny when he will call them out by name for their lame monologue jokes

Runaway

Colbert works fine, too, when hsi wife is around or he mocks the crew. You need real people and real reactions. like in porn.

Eric F

This week’s episode was so full of misinformation and junk science I just had to turn it off.

funkyryno

Maher really enjoys blaming the pandemic on fat people.

Count Dooku

Maybe things will improve when we are past COVID and Bill can fill his panel with better guests and better interaction, but now this show is D-U-L-L. I always end up skipping to New Rules.

Yea, it’s definitely not good when your own staff doesn’t laugh at your jokes. And then that awkward moment when he calls attention to it...
