What happened to Bill Burr?

Published



Comedian Bill Burr has sold out to the very people he once used to make a mockery of, choosing to pander to Hollywood liberals and social media socialists as a wannabe political pundit.

Burr’s foray into Hollywood continues with a role in the film The Social Reckoning, a hit piece of a movie targeting Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg. A clip posted to X by the film’s promotional account shows Burr playing a schoolmarm lawyer lecturing Zuckerberg about how voters are stupid “children” and must have social media censored for their own good. Burr claimed in a Rolling Stone interview about his role in the film that he is embarrassed by his reputation as “the angry comic,” and that he wants to be known now as a “meet-in-the-middle guy.”
