But he's going over to the dark side more and more. From just about 2 weeks ago:

Bill Maher Hits Colbert, Stewart, Kimmel for Parroting MSNBC
The ultra-opinionated late-night host misses the good ol’ days when Letterman, Leno, and Carson “never told you their politics.”
Eboni Boykin-Patterson

Bill Maher has some of the strongest political opinions on late-night television—but he’s sick of hearing everyone else’s.

On the latest episode of his podcast Club Random, Maher told his guest, The Sopranos star Drea de Matteo, that Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel “very predictably” parrot “whatever MSNBC was saying” on their shows, as he praised the good ol’ days when “Letterman, Leno, you know, Carson…they never told you their politics.”

Maher argued that “part of our problem is that everybody makes their decisions based on the politics of the art and not the art itself.”
