Story

Bill Maher, a comedian, responded to critics who said he changed during an interview on CNN. He mentioned that he makes fun of the left more now because he believes the left has changed. He also said the right has changed for the worse. Maher talked about various issues like gender, race, free speech, and different ideas that have changed on the left. He expressed his concerns about young men losing the ability to communicate with women. Maher explained that he pokes fun at both liberals and conservatives equally on his show 'Real Time.' His latest book, "What This Comedian Said," aims to share his worldview in a detailed manner. Maher's comedy is not about shocking people but about reflecting on the past and how things have changed politically over the years. He believes that while he remains the same, the political landscape has shifted. Despite Maher's nostalgia for the past, he doesn't delve much into his earlier show, "Politically Incorrect," which had a significant impact on political entertainment. Maher's current show focuses on critiquing extremes on both sides rather than aiming to shock the audience. His style of comedy, once considered shocking, has now been overshadowed by politicians and pundits who use attacks on political correctness for their gain.
