Did anyone see it when Arsenio was a guest and him and bill went at it?

Bill- "look, if you're bitter cuz your show got canceled"

Arsenio- "maybe you just mad cuz I took your girl"

The entire show was going on like that, I actually felt a little sorry for Maher. He put up with a lot of crap and Arsenio....I don't even want to start with what he was thinking.

It was a cool episode if you missed it. Arsenio sucks.

I didn't see it, and I'm not a big Arsenio fan, but it is nice to see someone dish it back to Maher, for once.

Personally, I see Maher as the liberal version of Bill O'Reilly.

Arsenio came off really bad, in my opinion. Since he had nothing intelligent or witty to say, he just resorted to stale old "mamma jokes." He seemed pretty pathetic, actually.

Unfortunately, I missed it because the local ABC affiliate here doesn't even air Politically Incorrect. They air Jenny Jones instead. :mad:

I think Arsenio lost it when Maher called him "Ass-smoochio" :consume:

I'd have to disagree. While Maher leans more toward liberal, I think he' much more open-mined than O'Reilly. Plus, Maher admits that he's not neutral. O'Reilly is always touting himself to be the example of neutral and that he is just pointing out the "facts" while all along his agenda is quite obvious. With that said, I do like O'Reilly. While I don't agree with his views and don't think he's always honest, it's always good to see an intelligent person on TV and he brings up many good points.

In regards to Maher and Arsenio, I do think Arsenio is the one who came off looking bad. He started it by out of nowhere accusing Maher of having no integrity and his show basically being a sell-out to the whims of his network and advertisors. Arsenio really came off as someone who was bitter after having two failed shows (no matter what he says) and a short-lived and washed up movie career.
