Has anyone with his own network TV show ever been unfunnier than Bill Maher? OK, maybe Bill Moyers. But we’d call it a toss-up.
Maher’s 2009 HBO show just premiered on Friday night. But he’s already in mid-season form when it comes to unfunny. He ended the season-opener with this suggestion:
“If we killed two random, rich greedy pigs, blew them up at halftime at next year’s Super Bowl, or left them hanging on the big board at the New York Stock Exchange — you know, as a warning, with their balls in their mouths — I think it would really make everyone else sit up and take notice.”
Tom Cruise heard what Maher said and expressed interest in becoming a stockbroker until Katie Holmes told him Maher was only speaking figuratively.

Maher's face looks like it caught on fire and somebody stomped it out with golf shoes
