There was a time earlier in their careers, when both Letterman and Bill Maher were comics.
I used to think his late late show, after Johnny was funny, when I caught it... he was a young man then..
in older age, he got nasty and political...
same with Bill Maher... I saw him at the Improv in Hollywood, and thought he was tremendously funny...
but later he became a political animal...
haven’t watched either of these guys since.
