Bill Maher and his guests answer viewer questions after the show.

[rusty quoin]

1. He was nice to Megyn Kelly. I don't know why.

She is not my idea of a feminist. She’s racist to boot.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Well, if he was rude to the RWers, none of them would come on

Though he must know that his audience doesn't appreciate them. And it was sure a come down from last week when his opening guest interview was Nancy Pelosi.

[rusty quoin]

3. Nancy was great last week. I really don't like Megyn given the same platform as if they are equal.

But maybe Bill is right and both sides and all...but I know the both sides started to end with Rush going national. That was 1989.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I have to agree. Maybe he thinks his show would be boring if everyone agreed

But some of the guests he's had on do make it tough to watch. Last week was an excellent show and not a dissenter in the bunch!

[dewsgirl]

26. Right before he went on vacation, he had this guest that

wouldn't shut up, I swear I thought he would throw him off the show. I have watched for years and years, I have rarely seen a guest like that.

[joshdawg]

5. kelly and erickson

were both a wasted of space and time on this show. Both useless right-wingers.
But then, this is JMHO.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I certainly agree with you and I'd wager the rest of Bill's usual audience does, too

Maybe he chooses to spike the panel with one RWer so he has someone to argue with, but why he chooses to lead the show with one is anybody's guess - and he's done that before. I tuned in late.

[BigmanPigman]

7. The rest of the panel is at 16:45 mark on video.

It'll probably get deleted in two minutes.

* Since when is Megan Kelly the "voice of reason"?
Erick Erickson "Editor of the Resurgent" said Bernie is a Fascist. I'm glad everyone else jumped on him for that asinine remark.

[SunSeeker]

8. I can't believe Megan Kelly is still complaining about "left wing media bias."

She made me want to throw up. Bill was being way too nice to her.

[usaf-vet]

9. Sorry Megyn Kelly became a millionaire by spewing FOX party line talking points and following the

Fox dress code. The code that keeps the male audience watching which is what you need to indoctrinate that audience.

IMHO she stayed at Fox and tolerated the behavior until her bank account made her rich enough to not have to work anymore.

When the history is written about these years Fox and their RW propaganda is going to seen as pivotal to the rising extremist like tRump and the GOP congress that blindly supports his extreme behavior.

[Martin Eden]

11. +1

Kelly asserts the false meme of "liberal bias" and Maher essentially lets her get away with it.

[smirkymonkey]

14. +1000

She makes me ill. She should know better than anyone that is just bullshit.

[Martin Eden]

17. Anyone who worked to spread the Fox propaganda

is poison.

[usaf-vet]

10. Thanks again Rhiannon12866 for making Saturday morning's first cup of coffee smooth & enjoyable.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Thanks so much!

The show is always worth watching for the humor, if not for the guests.

[ancianita]

12. His ending New Rule this week was his best in a long time. Thanks.

[Perseus]

13. I would love to slap this guy Erick Erickson to see if I can shake some of the idiocy he has

in his brain.

"I don't know what the republican party is doing besides humping of trump's leg" he says, he understands the guy is buffoon, a very dangerous buffoon but he will still vote for him..

[smirkymonkey]

15. He was a complete embarrassment as well.

Honestly, Megan Kelly was bad enough. Why did he have to have this useless right-wing joker on?

[smirkymonkey]

16. Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

Good show! Liked Ingrid, Michael and Alex. The other two deadbeats, not so much.

Still, I always appreciate watching and the fact that you take the time to post this for us!

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Thanks! And I agree.

The show is worth watching despite the occasional objectionable guest. I took my dog out right after the monologue.

[Dennis Donovan]

21. Erick Erickson looked like a lump sitting there

Not one of the bright ones from the other side.

[Dennis Donovan]

19. Ugh... Megyn Kelly

That was painful

[Rhiannon12866]

22. My dog just happened to need to go out during her interview

[Dennis Donovan]

23. He's a good boy!!

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Yes, he is - and he did have perfect timing just that once.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

25. Megyn Kelly is a twit.

I hope after this movie they reference has come and gone that we've seen the last of her.
