Bill Burr made an appearance on Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast and declared that “cancel culture” is “over.” During the interview, Louis C.K.

was mentioned. The comedian was largely ousted by Hollywood after being accused of sexual misconduct. Louis C.K. has returned to touring and producing his own projects, and Maher thinks he should be able to return. “I mean, don’t get me started on that,” Maher said. “Isn’t it time everyone just went: ‘OK, It wasn’t a cool thing to do, but it’s been long enough and welcome back.’ Enough!

There’s no rhyme or reason to the #MeToo-type punishments.” Burr added, “They took $50 million, I think they punished him.” The Unfrosted and Mandalorian actor then touched on “cancel culture,” saying, “Well, it’s like most things.
