Bill Maher Is Must-See TV

Nearly everyone who covers politics has had to partially reinvent their programs since President Joe Biden dropped his suitcase in the White House. Without Donald Trump, political commentators again have to create their own content. On average, the overall quality has dipped, but average doesn't mean everyone. Bill Maher is the outlier.

For each of the past six weeks, Maher has shaken the internet during his "New Rules" segment, a segment that Maher spends the most time writing throughout the week. And it shows. You won't find better monologues anywhere.

Recently, Maher has taken aim at topics such as cancel culture, the Oscars (yes, still a thing), and COVID fear porn:

For four years, he zoned in on one topic, Trump, and covered the topic with the same tone as the outlets he'd historically rejected. However, the old Maher, the one a few lines away from getting canceled himself, is back. He no longer forces the word "Trump" into every written joke and thus has never been better. At his best, Maher dialogues on topics few others dare touch.

Let's be honest (the phrase Jim Acosta utters once a sentence): right now, Bill Maher is must-see TV.
