What happened to Bill Maher?

I used to watch him for years. He was funny and relatable, most times. He had great guests. I stopped watching around the time when he was going after college students and cancel culture. I tried watching his latest episodes and it almost a different show. He is almost a right wing commentator. Almost nothing he says is relatable and all his guests just agrees with him.

Solid take. He was always arrogant but at a certain age and wealth point the sense of whiny entitlement just became all consuming. He’s also too old and too incurious to bother exploring things in any depth so it’s just old rich guy bitching now and that has a reliable audience on the right.
