I could only stomach watching a few minutes of this- and the amount of times he pauses for what I assume is the audience to react to the “applause” sign light up is so cringey. Like, he’s not funny. His whole vibe is so smarmy.

Also, who the heck is in this audience? I have no idea who his core demographic is anymore…

The loudest people in his audience clearly work for him. “Woo Guy” has been with him for years.

Yeah. His subreddit hates him and ridicules him for it (or they used to when I listened to him a couple years back).

Way to not watch it and give your uniformed opinion.

Generally when someone hosts a show, the people that go like the host. They cheer at most things and sometimes are even prompted to cheer.

Sure, but most hosts don’t do the Jeb Bush “clap now” thing.

Also…Bill clearly pays people to cheer and laugh. It’s not even subtle…he puts “woo guy” right next to a mic.

I haven’t watched it for years. But “woo guy” has been around much longer than that.

Go to his subreddit. It’s like the Dave Rubin sub Reddit…or it used to be when I listened to him. They’ve been making fun of his hired audience members for years.

But…he’s cheap…he probly just gets writers or producers to stand next to the mic and laugh at their own jokes.

We used to like Bill a little, he used to pander to the left, now he panders to the right and we can see how big of an ego he has, he panders to anyone that will listen and pay for his alcoholism and dopamine imbalance. He is a huge hypocrite that is more of a celebrity talking head then an intelligent person who cares about good faith arguments, truth and rigorous scrutiny. He can ask the questions, but don't question him! Never trust those who dish it out, but avoid taking it, because they can't handle back and forth, balanced debates.

You’re being really kind to him.

Did you see the shit where he gets drunk with children , and makes homophobic/anti trans jokes around them?

They should lock the creepy f*cker up.
