Having watched the majority of Bill Mather's work over the decades I have to say he has morphed from an edgy comedian to a celebrity that uses his show to botch about issues or things he doesn't like.
The show begins with a tirade on mask wearers, now for a libertarian that seems strange right peoples right to choose, masks hurt no one else, but he chooses to berate all including a member of the audience. Never mind covid killed more Americans than every war since the countries birth, he just goes at it like a ranting elderly relative who doesn't understand rock and roll music or long hair on men or (fit your own subject here). It's completely ignoring that he doesn't know the health situation of anyone, they may be imunocompromized, having cancer therapy etc and want to see a show.
Then it's at woke or cancel culture or twitter, you name it he has a beef with it, after 20 minutes I said where are the jokes, a couple were even reused from his "real time" show.
It was like eating week old bread with a lemon, stale and bitter.
Bill needs to lighten up, be a bit less judgemental and crack some original jokes, or stick with political commentary shows, give up on stand up as no amount of viagra can revive this one.
