Bill Maher tapes his show, which means news that breaks on Friday usually doesn’t get mentioned.
Such was the case on Friday. Real timeAs earlier in the day, stories emerged that Maher had fired his longtime agents at CAA, allegedly for not being invited to the party at agency chief Bryan Lourd’s upscale home during the Oscar week.
Ironically, Maher’s “New Rules” editorial was about the tendency to complain about the little things in life.
“Being obsessed with mental health is bad for your mental health,” he proclaimed. She linked it to why President Joe Biden’s approval rating is so low “when things are going pretty well.” He cited the modern advantages of next-day shopping, stuffed pizza and porn on the phone. So “cheer up,” he advised.
“Yes, you are on the spectrum,” Maher said. “So are all the living. That’s why they call it spectrum.”
Maher mentioned the time Elmo asked on social media how everyone was doing. “People responded as if he was the suicide hotline,” Maher said. “But you think you’re having a hard time; try living your life with a guy’s forearm up your ass.”
Previously, Maher interviewed Eric Holder, President Obama’s former attorney general, chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and co-author of Our unfinished march: the violent past and the endangered future of the vote: a story, a crisis, a plan.
The highly partisan Holder focused on the silver linings in the dark clouds of Biden’s recent approval polls. He dismissed the low approvals as something from March and predicted things would change by the November elections.
“There’s work to do, but I’m optimistic,” Holder said, joking about Trump’s cognitive abilities. “Is it better now than it was four years ago? You’re absolutely right, we are,” she said.
This week’s panel discussion included Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina who currently serves on the House Armed Services and Oversight Committees, and Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democratic congressman who represents Silicon Valley of California and is a member of President Biden’s National Advisory Board. .
Mace valiantly tried to summarize the problems with Biden’s record – “It’s horrible,” he said at one point – but Maher deflected his points.
At one point, Maher asked her how she could support Trump, since Mace herself was a rape victim who spoke publicly about her assault. She corrected Maher, saying Trump’s conviction was for defamation in the E. Jean Carroll trial and criticized her recent interview with George Stephanopoulos, who asked her the same question. Mace pointed to her association with the Clintons and the presence of her young daughter on set as the reason she was offended by his line of questioning.
