    As much as I would love an uncensored Colbert, HBO Max/Max/HBO already has John Oliver. And they kinda occupy the same entertainment niche. They are not going to cannibalize their own ratings of that big draw.

      They could do it,the same way everyone was on Comedy Central. That worked and they complimented each other. Besides, Oliver is once a week. I bet a lot of people, myself included, already watch both of the shows

          I wouldn’t have a problem with that. I gave Maher a shot a few years ago, but just couldn’t take it. I don’t understand what role Maher fills. He’s not progressive, but doesn’t have conservative cred either. I’m sure he thinks he’s being authentically moderate, but he seems like a sleeper right-wing shill
