4. I'm grateful he's back this week - John Oliver won't be on this Sunday

And the late night guys will be in repeats next week.

And the late night guys next week. Well, I guess we will just have to suffer through it. I am sure there will be plenty of material for them when they get back.

7. There will be way too much for them to cover when they get back!

It's got to be tough for them to just cover the Trump scandals of the day...

And I'll especially miss John Oliver, too - he's an informed voice of reason every single week!

Doesn't sound like a particularly humorous bunch, but one can hope!

9. Me, too, & for me the tough love & anti-religion he dishes out. 90% with us.

I realize that Libertarians ditch us in the lurch, but I'm not turning down any votes, and MAHER is with us for now, unlike his bro ROGAN. He's not worse than Tweety, who luerved RAYGUN and Shrub, while he benefited from the Dem label.

10. I think what a lot of people forget is that Bill Maher is a comedian

He does specialize in politics ("Politically Incorrect" ), but like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, he gets his humor from ridiculing the status quo - not that it's a particularly tough job these days...

12. Here's the video - only 2 out of the three guests (besides the Monologue and New Rules)

Of course the interview they left out was the one with the family physician who talked about how to improve our diets so we're healthier and can survive the virus if we get it.

Still scratching my head about the dietician. Saying that all the oil from seeds is bad..

14. I agree that the Moore interview was very good - pointed out what we need to do to "win" this time

And frankly I had no idea that Trump still had so much support, the fact that we're facing a pandemic on his watch with people still getting sick and dying I'd think would be a deal breaker with pretty much every demographic. Michael Moore pointed out that we still have a lot of work to do...

As for the "seed oils," I agree that we need to hear a lot more. I didn't quite get that, either.
