Comedians Bill Maher and Bill Burr have called time on Louis CK's #MeToo exile as they claimed that 'no one cares' about cancel culture anymore.
On Maher's 'Club Random' podcast, the two comedians agreed that it's time for Louis C.K.'s ostracism from Hollywood to come to an end after falling victim to cancel culture.
'I mean, don't get me started on that,' Maher said to Burr when speaking about C.K. '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! I mean for Christ's sake, it's not the end of the world. People have done so much worse things and gotten less. There's no rhyme or reason to the #MeToo-type punishments.' Maher added.
Both comedians argued that Louis C.K.'s punishment as a result of the #MeToo movement was disproportionate to the offense he committed, which included allegations of sexual misconduct.

Burr then addressed the financial setbacks Louis C.K. faced, saying 'They took 50 million dollars from him. I think they punished him.'
But Burr believes cancel culture might not be as prevalent as it once was, and said that 'no one cares anymore.'
On the topic of cancel culture, he said, 'It started off with something everyone could agree on, and then quickly it just spun out of control. I remember whenever that cancel culture got to the point of where it was, 'I don't like some of the topics in your stand up act,' right? That's when it got weird. Cancel culture … it's over. No one cares anymore.'
'There's these actors who won't work with him anymore and some of them made movies with him are saying, 'I regret doing that.' What a bunch of pussies!' Maher said. 'First of all, it's a very improbable crime that they're accusing him of. Plainly, the other party had motivation and [was] vindictive,' he added.
Louis C.K., although still somewhat shunned by the industry, has been gradually re-emerging in recent years.
He won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2022 for his special, 'Sincerely Louis CK,' and received another nomination in 2023 for his work in 'Sorry,' ultimately losing to Dave Chappelle's 'The Closer.'
The 68-year-old host of HBO 's 'Real Time' also appeared on 'CBS News Sunday Morning' ahead of the release of his new book, titled 'What This Comedian Said Will Shock You'
Maher discussed his approach to comedy with correspondent Robert Costa
Also this week, Maher asserted that he speaks for the 'normies' who are 'tired of partisanship' in politics and defended his decision to platform controversial guests during a sit-down interview.

He discussed his approach to comedy with correspondent Robert Costa, who noted that he frequently took digs at both sides of the aisle.
'Keep it real. Don't be tribal. Don't say something just because that's going to make the audience of one side applaud, or boo,' Maher said.
He claimed that represented 'normies' and 'that vast middle that is tired of the partisanship,' adding, 'I don’t want to hate half the country, and I don’t hate half the country.'
