[Decider] Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher, which returned to the air after a month’s break, the HBO host claimed that the Toyko Summer Olympic Games have outdone the Oscars when it comes to cancel culture. "Please don’t make the Olympics into the Oscars," Bill Maher begged during his New Rules segment of the show.
Back in April, Maher had said the theme of the 2021 Oscars was, "We dare you to be entertained," he reminded his viewers. The producers of the Hollywood event, he complained, left no stone unturned when it came to injustices and human error.
Maher (who was sporting a new pair of glasses) feels the International Olympic Committee have pressed even harder than Hollywood. He then referenced a number of instances where the "woke" committee punished officials and creative staffers over decades-old behavior. The director of the opening ceremony, for example, was fired over a Holocaust joke he did during a comedy routine decades ago. |
