I have always found Maher to be more obnoxious than edgy, and about half as intelligent as he thinks he is. I did enjoy his session with Colbert Monday night - because Stephen stood up to him, and created and leaned into some of those awkward moments that he said he wanted to being to late night television. I could not tell if they are old friends, enemies or strangers off camera, but they did seem to have some sparks on camera. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
