Bill Maher and more | Here Comes the Sun

Comedian and television host Bill Maher sits down with Robert Costa to discuss his book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You" and his HBO series, "Real Time." Then, Conor Knighton learns about the process of creating paper floral displays. "Here Comes the Sun" is a closer look at some of the people, places and things we bring you every week on "CBS Sunday Morning."

I don't always agree with Bill Maher, but I always look forward to hear what he has to say.

Whatever your education situation is, I think critical thinking is essential. It's so important that folk can think.

I went to a Music Conservatory and had a good career. Now retired in Sicily with a Swedish pension. America needs to invest more in trade schools.

There are so many companies that won't consider a candidate for a position if they don't have a college degree, even though a degree is totally unnecessary for the jobs they offer.

No, democrats didn’t say college solves everything. In fact, Joe Biden says if you can’t afford college then learn a trade, be an electrician, be a plumber, be a carpenter.

Tracy Smith should be a strong contender as host when Jane retires. Love them both, and have been watching Sunday Morning since I was a boy on the couch with my dad. He taught me to engage with current events and be able to relate it to history to find unvarnished slant. Thanks Dad. Miss you!

I am a public school teacher. America needs to fix the public education system. My parents graduated high school in 1950 and got great jobs! Maher is right about college but he needs to speak up about the degradation of public education caused by failed state governments!

Those paper flowers were beautiful !!💐🌺🌻🌷🌼🌱

Life is fleeting. This is what fresh flowers remind us of. The paper ones are magical, though.

The awful truth is that most people don't get out of a college education what people USED to get from a high-school education before the late 60s. Public ed has collapsed into excuse-making dumbing-down and political censorship. Everyone SHOULD get an excellent HIGH SCHOOL education like that up to the late 60s--including civics (we READ the entire Constitution, and articles on the economic forces distorting it, including slavery), detailed factual American history (NOT 1619 distortions), world history, experiencing and learning how to read great literature (e.g. the difference between Mark Twain and Huck Finn and how to detect irony), knowing and writing your own language well, the basics of every major science (bio, chem, physics), math through trig, and a third-year level of a foreign language. THAT is what ordinary middle-class high school was in the 60s--other than the travesty of education in the South.

I saw this guy on Jiminy Glicks show...

I always agree with everything Bill Maher says. I'm independent and common sense is in the middle.

[YTHayward]

Bill Maher is the best! The voice of conscience.

[destiny]

Yes it is a scam for the loans and the money! Preach brother preach! There are very few things that you absolutely need to go to college for it's a business churning you out of your dignity your time and your money

[rubbersoul]

Watching from the State of Rhode Island-applause to CBS-SM-anytime you feature Bill-he should be a regular or semi-regular contributor. Peace all!

I have a younger supervisor who is bad at things, but Confident about the things he's bad at. It's hilarious and frustrating. I don't get it.

[maryfiltz]

I was a proofread for 47 years at my job, and at about 40 years I thought I might change jobs. Spoke to a few places and they said I needed a degree, I said in what, they said makes no difference, just have to have a degree. 40 years real life experience counted for nothing to them. I agree, too many people think a degree is necessary for jobs that don't really need them.

Nice interview. Maher is such a breath of fresh air. 🤙🏽

Bonza living the dream 😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Love Bill Maher. I don’t have to agree with everything he says, but I agree with a lot of it
