Comment on Bill Maher Holds Off on ‘Real Time’ Return as Writers Guild Talks Set to Resume
realcaseyrollins 9 months agoI wonder how cheap it might be, they still might have to pay Bill Maher a considerable some. People seem to like his panel segments depending on who his guests are so I'm presuming that's where most of his ratings are coming from.

The panel is the only redeeming part of the show, really. His jokes are just increasingly of the ‘old man yells at cloud’ type.

True. I'm a right winger, so I do like how sometimes he'll go against a left wing talking point in the monologue, but in my opinion he's not particularly funny in those monologues, it just doesn't work for me. But to be fair, I'm 23, not a boomer, so to an extent that's not a problem because the show is not made for me. That'd be, fittingly, the role of Last Week Tonight, which in turn I really love despite not agreeing with John Oliver on politics.
