Bill Maher: 'Woke culture' and 'super crazy' Left is why GOP will win big in midterm elections Bill Maher shared his predictions for the midterm elections, which, according to him, will cause things to "change fundamentally in this country." The talk show host switched roles Thursday, becoming a podcast guest on comedian Bill Burr's Thursday Afternoon Monday Morning show.
