The set was kind of weird
if you think about it.

B-

The subject is "class" (as in taste, not economics) but it quickly devolves into a sometimes classless discussion of religion, when writer John Lofton tries to hijack the show.  At first Bernhard tries to be poised and dryly humorous, but by the end she yells at and spits on Lofton.  This is the sort of thing that made Maher's show memorable.  It does look a bit staged, or at least manipulated, in that they must've known what Lofton was like, but that's not to say that it's not entertaining.  Note that, although it's not directly mentioned, actor Christopher Lawford is the son of Peter and Patricia (JFK's sister).
