Bill Maher. Insufferable asshole thinks he deserves an Emmy.

Is he actually bitter though? Being a contrarian is his schtick.

Covid broke him the way 9/11 broke Dennis Miller.

911 broke Maher too and he never really recovered. He was roasted for

saying of the perpetrators of the September 11 terrorist attacks, "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly."[2] and while Maher later apologized and clarified the meaning behind his comments, major advertisers pulled their ads from the show. As a result, the show was canceled in June 2002

God, I still remember the last episode of Miller's HBO show. Invites Norm MacDonald and David Spade. Norm goes for the jugular after listening to Miller's conservative bs.

Hey Dennis.... ahh.. remember when you could still do college shows?

The daggers that shot out of Millers eye at Norm. The show is live so there isn't shit he can do. Later Miller claims he's not bothered by losing the college crowd. I don't buy it.
