Someone whose whole shtick is being an asshole is an asshole.

Imagine that.

Not to say anything against the strikers but if AI could replace any writers it would be the ones from Bill Maher's show. All it would have to do is go to Boomer Facebook, find the memes with the crispiest jpegs and copy them outright.

The same could generally be said for all of late night, to be honest, even Greg Gutfeld's show. Late night TV is for boomers anyways.

But the part of his show where those jokes will be told would be the monologues, not the panel discussion, so even the boomers will be missing out on that brand of humor.
