Bill Simmons is getting less, not more, camera time on his own HBO talk show.

In the latest bad sign, Simmons delivered his signature opening monologue off-camera on Wednesday’s night’s Episode 6.
Uh-oh. It could be minor. Or it could be major.
That’s usually a sign the talent is uncomfortable on the air, or that the show-runners don't think the person is good on TV.
