04/25/2022 So uninformed and contradicting that I'm surprised FOX hasn't picked him up. See more 03/05/2021 This show used to be so good – great guests, great discussions on timely issues. Now Bill Maher has become the old guy yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. At this point he spends every week complaining about cancel culture and wokeness by presenting some scattered examples he finds as indicative of a whole generation and political ideology. It's tiresome and annoying. Maher is at his best when he focuses his attention on real issues. See more Read all reviews
