Yeah, he did about a year at Comedy whatever, then jumped ship to ABC for much more money than a scrawny network that ran reruns of Live At The Improv could afford. And that is when the scrutiny came in, making him have to come up with "the big statement" every evening. The guests stopped being interesting people from all walks of life, and started being political pundits of one sort or another. Everything became "serious" all of a sudden, and not surprisingly, less insightfully entertaining.

It was on ABC, IIRC - and he got fired after 9/11 for saying people who'd hijack a plane or strap a bomb to themselves (taking themselves out with their intended victims) aren't necessarily complete cowards. I tend to agree - think WWII - we didn't think of Kamikaze pilots as cowards, they were rightfully considered INSANE...Comment

But I never cared for Bill Maher and Politically Incorrect because of the lousy choice of guests that come on that show.

It's not that I disagree with everything Maher says. I just can't stand the arrogant smugness he says it with. I want to kick his ass. That and he's just not a good comedian. He comes off like a prickComment

He always seemed like an annoying lepricon to me. I'm tired of all these stupid political comedians. The financial and political problems right now are at such a scale we need to grow up and get to work as individuals doing something about it instead of munching junk food and watching these fools.No!
