      This is actually great representation for comedians who have never told a funny joke.

    2. There goes the prestige for that award. Bill Maher is about as funny as a school bus accident.

      No real comedian would step foot in the KC right now, meanwhile Maher’s been sleeping on the doorstep for weeks.

      Bill Maher is the kind of comedian we need now. One that unites us all. In our hatred of him.

      Bill Maher is qualified as a comedian like Donald Trump is qualified as a president.

      Are they really?

    6. I used to watch him years ago because he was controversial, but I don’t think he is that funny or influential to receive this award. Steven Colbert or Bill Burr would be better suited for this award IMHO.

    7. Strap some magnets to Samuel Clemens in his grave. He is now a perpetual clean energy generator based on how much he is spinning.

      Also Rob Schneider gonna have to wait his turn after Greg Gutfield next year.

      He wasn’t even invited to the Riyadh Comedy Festival because he’s so bad at his business.

    9. I’ve done standup for more than 10 years. I’ve heard other comics refer to a litany of “hacks” as their initial inspiration to do standup. From the blue collar guys, to Jeff Dunham, to fucking Gallagher. Never, once, has any comic Ive met even said a positive thing about Maher. And comics like comics. Why on earth would you give an award to the least funny person to ever hold a mic?

      “See, conservatives, they drive the car like *this*, but liberals, they drive the car like *this*….” –every Bill Maher joke

    11. 10 years ago I would have cheered, but man, the last decade really amplified everything I disliked about him. He is such an unsufferable asshole these days, I am not really sure how much of it is that he changed (and he did change) and how much was always there.

      The Maher show has but two people that laugh at his jokes. The one guy who’s paid to “Woo”, and Bill himself.
