There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

I think he's a little too fond of himself.  Saving my pennies for DMB & Willie!

Oh boy!  Can't wait to miss it.
When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

I liked Politically Incorrect when it was on Comedy Central, since it left that channel it became less worth watching, even under it's current name. For me, it's the sign of a bad comedian when you make fun of everyone else but still take yourself seriously (ahem. Al Franken).  Granted, still having a show after being nixed by three networks is impressive.

I would see Colbert, maybe Jon Stewart, but not Maher.

Reading the comments at the World's site about this is amusing. Apparently 'left of center' really means 'disagrees with me' to some of those folks.

Real Time's amusement factor is very largely dependent on who the guests are. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's just booorrring.

Agreed, its all about the guests.  Bill Maher annoys the hell out of me, but I like the show alright.

I think he's usually funny, but not enough to carry the show by himself.

He does have a bad habit of beating up on retards, though. That's what Religulous seemed like to me. Funny, but far too much pressing the issue rather than just giving rope to the people who seemed to be happy to hang themselves.
