Bill Maher Questions Bella Thorne’s Anxiety: ‘What Are You Upset About?’

Elon Musk has an agreement to buy Twitter. But no one can agree on what that means, and Bill Maher’s HBO show Real Time spent a good portion of Friday’s run trying to make sense of it.

Bill Maher took aim at the Republican party in a big way on Friday night’s “Real Time,” saying that the GOP’s new platform is “making the world safe FROM democracy.”The Washington Post’s assertion that “democracy dies in darkness” is wrong, according to the comedian and late-night host. “It dies in plain sight because enough people think democracy is a luxury America can no longer afford. That is pretty much the position of the Republican party now, that you can vote for anyone you like but it doesn’t count if it’s not us,” he said during his New Rules segment.

It was old school week on Bill Maher’s Friday Real Time. Fresh off a week away while his Adulting special ran in his regular HBO time slot, Maher celebrated his return by bringing in an old friend from the comedy circuit.

this week, and the two critics apparently found common ground on the COVID-19 vaccine.“I don’t trust them to tell me the truth about what they put in there,” said Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time.” “Most people are giving us too much credit for where we are medically,” he said. “My point of view is we are still at the infancy of understanding how the human body works.

Bill Maher is addressing Will Smith and Chris Rock‘s 2022 Oscars incident.

Bill Maher weighed in on the Oscars slap, sharing his view of Will Smith’s open-handed smack across the face of Chris Rock due to an unfortunate “G.I. Jane” joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia.

Bill Maher gave his two cents on Sunday’s Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar drama, when Chris joked about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head onstage, prompting Will to jump up and slap the stunned comedian. During the April 1st episode of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill downplayed Jada’s struggle with her hair loss caused by alopecia, suggesting she should have “worn a wig” if the condition was such a concern for the actress.

Bill Maher left his compassion at the stage door during Friday night’s “Real Time” when he not only downplayed Jada Pinkett Smith’s sensitivity about her alopecia-caused hair loss, but he also mockingly advised her, “just put on a f—ing wig like everybody else at the Oscars if it bothers you so much.”The comedian offered his opinion on the events of last Sunday’s Oscars, when Chris Rock joked about Smith’s stylish bald head, which prompted her husband, Will Smith, to jump out of his seat and onto the stage, where he slapped a stunned Rock on live TV.“Real Time” panel guests Laura Coates and Andrew Yang joined Maher in a discussion about the incident. He said that it wasn’t until the night of the awards that he had ever heard of alopecia, its symptoms and that Pinkett Smith had it. And the conversation went south from there.“I mean, if you are so lucky in life as to have that be your medical problem, just say ‘thanks, God,'” Maher said of hair loss.

Hunter Biden’s laptop, saying the lack of coverage is “why people don’t trust the media.”Maher said left-leaning media ignored the laptop because it wasn’t “part of their narrative” when The Post published its first, exclusive report on the topic in 2020. “It looks like the left-wing media has buried the story because it wasn’t part of their narrative and that’s why people don’t trust the media,” Maher said on Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.”The comments came after the New York Times verified the laptop just last month.

alopecia is the worst she’s dealing with. “If you are so lucky in life as to have that be your medical problem, just say thank God,” Maher cracked to his guests, attorney Laura Coates and former presidential and New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang.“It’s not life threatening.
