I gave up watching most of Bill Maher on HBO because I felt that more and more of what he said and did on Real Time was click-baity (to coin a new term we need). He also got on a kick of discussing medicine and health with all the expertise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a bad day. Once in a while, Maher presents something I think is very perceptive and even very funny but not often enough to make it Must-See-TV for me. I like him a little more on his Club Random podcasts if/when he gets a guest who interests me (as he does occasionally) and lets them talk (as he also does occasionally).
That said, I found it well worth my time to sit through all of the hour-and-a-half he spends this week with Woody Allen. If you do, you'll wish Maher fawned less and talked less but there's a real good interview in there if you're patient…
