With Jiminy on this will be a must to watch.  I watch Mahar a bit and find his viewpoints interesting.  He seems to be critical of both the right and left equally which I have no problem with.  He does occassionally comes across as a little arrogant but his points are usually valid. 

The only issue I have with his show would be the studio audience.  Why do they need to applaud after every joke in the monologue and during his wrap up?  Other shows do this as well, but for whatever reason it is more pronounced on Maher's show.  Even if the joke isn't funny, the studio audience applaudes.  Maybe they are prompted but it is overdone.  

If you watch the show regularly, you'll see that Maher often prompts the applause. Last week, he came out with a line that he thought would be popular with the audience and there was zero reaction. He stared at them and said "Really? Nothing?" And of course, they clapped after that. 

Why did he do this?
I never thought that Jiminy Glick was very funny, as opposed to Martin Short's much better lampoon of Brock Linehan, meant to be Toronto's Brian Linehan.
This routine is just out of touch with modern humour, kind of like it Maher had himself interviewed by Rich Little imitating Johnny Carson.
I'm not exactly a young guy but even I see this is sort of "dad humour."

Here's the interview, the humour could make one feel a bit gl-icky.

Typical Jiminy Glick, cutting the guest and Hollywood down to size.  I always liked the way that he usually answers his own questions and doesn't let the guest respond. I thought it was funny.  Out of touch with modern humour??  Please..Jiminy's style is timeless..
