Episode Description
Despite being blatantly homophobic, xenophobic, and aggressively unfunny, Bill Maher continues to be booked and blessed, making millions a year. Flying his private plane, although he claims to be an environmentalist. Being misogynistic AF while claiming to be pro-women. Spouting half-baked talking points without any research to back up dangerous rhetoric, without any consideration for the folks who are harmed by the language...the contradictions have no end.
Bill Maher is an enigma wrapped in a rage-inducing riddle, and he unintentionally provokes thought-provoking discourse from super talented folks like Francesca Fiorentini, Matt Berenstein, Will Weldon*, Sam Seder, and Kyle Kulinski. But they aren't laughing with him (no one who is not on his staff or on a Real Time panel), they're reading him for filth. We wouldn't have all of this rage bait content if it were for Roseanne, and we make that point in this episode.
*I accidentally called Will Weldon Will Wheaton in the episode. Major brain blank!
