New Rule: God Is Cancelled Party

If being a product of your time is no longer an excuse for being un-woke, Jesus Christ is in big trouble.

1. Classic

That last clip about God and Jesus condoning slavery really strikes a note.

2. It's somewhat pathetic that Maher talks to Colin Cowherd about covid19.

If he wants to discuss the pandemic on national TV, he ought to try out his ideas on someone who actually knows something about it, like a pandemic expert, not a sports radio host who just happens to agree with every ignorant statement that Maher makes.

[Cetacea]

3. Comparing a pandemic at home to a war abroad is idiotic

And I like Bill Maher.

4. His hair looked terrible.

5. Good stuff, except for Colin Cowherd. But there's always a clunker.

Thanks, Rhiannon!

6. I agree, I really liked the panel with Mayor Pete and Andrew Yang

That was the part I was looking forward to. It was such a pleasure to hear from smart guys who knew what they were talking about!

[SunSeeker]

7. Yup. And the laugh track clips are themselves pretty funny!

Love the vintage audience shots.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. They were a good idea besides being funny, since I think they help Bill

He seems to have had a tougher time than most working without a live audience.

9. True, he's an old school nightclub standup who feeds off his audience.

Younger folks like Trevor Noah on the Daily Show don't seem to miss their audience as much.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I agree, it seems like all the others have adjusted much more easily

In fact Trevor seems to have had little trouble adjusting at all - he's still very funny and has lots of energy. Bill, on the other hand, has complained about missing his stand up schedule. He's not only missing out on traveling all over the country, but he's said he's earning a lot less money. Still, I'm glad he's around to do his show. He usually takes a long hiatus when he's on the road.

12. Bill fan

I'm glad this isn't a negative thread. I've never understood why so many on our side dislike Bill.
