About this episode

Bill Maher and David Cross discuss the nuances of cancel culture and the state of comedy today.

Bill Maher sits down with David Cross and what starts as loose, slightly irreverent banter turns into one of those conversations where you realize—oh right, nobody actually agrees on anything anymore. Especially when it comes to “cancel culture.” Is it real? Is it exaggerated? Or is it just what we call it now when the crowd turns on you?David gets into the Netflix sketch that vanished, while Bill draws the line between being actually canceled and just not getting invited back—which, let’s be honest, are very different things. They get into comedy, where the line is (or isn’t), and why both sides seem to have lost their sense of humor.Along the way: Charlie Manson, Elvis, Brando, the grind of touring, getting older, and the brutal reality of knowing when it’s time to let a dog go.
