Maher is a better political commentator than he is comedian, but I've found him stale and boring for some time. I think politically incorrect had better discussions than his current show. There are still decent discussions on there sometimes when he brings the right people on but a lot of the time it's a bunch of smarmy elitists patting eachother on the back. And his monologues/new rule bits have always been stale self congratulatory sermons disguised as comedy.
But he's really not much worse than the million and 1 late night John stewart rip offs out there. There was a time when it was basically just him and stewart doing this politics/news oriented late night comedy. So at least he's not just another copy cat.
All of the current late night guys are trash with the exception of John oliver. That's only cause John oliver it's actually funny. The rest of those dudes just preach... They don't have an ounce of wit left in their body. Colbert is the worst. He used to be funny too. Now just pure smarmy and weak comedy.
