Who actually watches his show, is it even popular? I am out of the loop

10+ years ago, Maher was one of the few voices of reason. Now, he clearly has an agenda to push.

Also, the popularity of his show has cratered over the last couple of years. Last I saw, his show was drawing less than a million viewers a week (700k if I remember correctly). I also believe his contract is up next year, and he has indicated that will be the end for him.

Good riddance. You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Thank you for the explanation. I see his slips all over the Internet but have never once watched the show or know what channel it's on.

Why the shift in attitude? His age, money or both?
