      He is too busy preparing to prove how insultingly unfunny he is. He won’t be doing all the parts of the show that require writers so he is just going to be profoundly wrong and shite for 60 minutes.

      I heard he pays writers better than all the other late night shows because as a writer you have to deal with working with Bill Maher.

        The worst thing about Maher as a performer is that he berates his audience when they don’t like his joke. I did professional stand-up for a few years and that’s like breaking unspoken rule #1. Even if the room is a shit room, you don’t act like they’re a shit room.
