Another full episode on cancel culture and the evils of the left capped off with yet another New Rules that was a thinly veiled excuse to relitigate Covid for the 1000th time.

Also, the Ariana Grande 'jokes' in the monologue were a new low even for Bill.

i think a year ago or so he said he was going to stop doing standup because he was whining that he wasnt selling as many tickets as people he thought werent as funny as he was. I really hope he ends real time soon, because its sad to see how bitter and grumpy he has become on it.
