You've gotta give it up for Maher, to go on the most politically correct show and totally take over. Leno, as always, offers up a couple mumbles and says nothing. Beyond saying what he feels (which too few comics actually do), I admire Maher for not going for cheap laughs and most importantly not caring what the crowd thinks of him. A good lesson for me and a great lesson for Leno.
Now where is my rubber chicken and trick bow-tie?

Bill Maher knows what he's going to say and he says it. My issue with him is that he's not acting as a comedian almost any of the time he's on television--he's acting as a pundit on his own. If I thought he were being a comic on television, I'd actually be willing to watch his television show. Because I do my best not to watch pundit-based television, and I refuse to watch Maher or most anything on the Fox News network.
I enjoyed him before he moved to a premium cable audience. Just like Seth MacFarlane got too uppity after Family Guy's revitalization, I think Maher has done the same.
And now I will stop ranting and you can stop skipping over my text.
Bill Maher visiting "The Tonight Show" is like Albert Einstein having a sitdown with Mr. Haney in Hooterville. Surreal. Where's Arnold Ziffel when you need him?
Not sure about Arnold, but Hank and Doris Ziffel and a lot of their kin were apparently in Jay's audience, judging by the reception that Bill Maher got.
