I remember once a comedian in the same amount of time in Hollywood as Maher told him that he still does small time gigs in comedy clubs to keep his material fresh and so that he can be challenged by new audiences.

Maher looked at him like he grew eyestalks and asked him why should he ever do that.

Maher came up during the comedy boom, when anybody with a pulse could get a gig, and having a pulse has always been his main skill

It really is understated how many talentless hacks got their break in the 80s and early 90s are now polluting the entertainment industry with their endless whining.
