Bill Maher receives Mark Twain Prize at Kennedy Center
It was good to see Bill Maher getting the Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center on Sunday night. If there's anything Mark Twain was about, it was an unfunny hate-filled misogynist love of imperial violence.
Maher makes it sound like he has extensive experience of women trying to kill him. Can't imagine why, he's just such a delightful guy....
Jokes on him. The trophy signifies Twain’s prophecy: It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
i hope the other recipients were in the audience and pelted him with their prizes before walking out. clearly the next humorist recognition prize we need in the us is the mel brooks proze
Bill Maher has been right-pivoting for years. The seeds were there all along—his Islamophobia, for example, was never a secret. But the pandemic really saw Maher move right in a way he hadn’t before. He didn’t take the crisis seriously by his own admission. www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-ne...
He’s not the only straight, white, middle-aged dude comedian who fancies himself a political straight-talker, calling balls and strikes, to make that journey in the wake of COVID. Something about the crisis broke brains. I think it was leftover cynicism from the Bush era.
He's a lost cause and I'm tired of people platforming that Nazi loving freak.
oh stop the presses your vote is in play wow
I couldn't stand Bill Maher years before the pandemic. He was always a creepy narcissist.He was always a blowheart who said right-wing garbage, but he did it with narcissistic arrogance.
Not to mention he knows that pivoting to the right is an easy way to insure the Ellisons keep his show up even if it's been losing viewers.
Bill Maher getting cozy with the GOP shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to the comedian’s cranky, conservative slide over the last several years. Still, it was a shock on Friday when Maher told Vice President JD Vance directly that he was weighing voting red.
He has always been a cunt.
He is not funny. He is mean.
I really, really think that Bill Maher is a jackass! Cannot stand him.Maybe he doesn't want to be thrown off CNN whenever the criminal Ellison's take over! I never watch him! He really is an ass
Bill Maher is racist, sexist, and homophobic. The sooner he leaves the Democratic Party, the better for everyone.
He’s mad because we all hate his talentless ass.
Back in 2012 ... it was said, "The difference between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher is that Maher's audience KNOWS he's an asshole." --- Jimmy Kimmel at the 2012 WH Correspondence Dinner. Prophetic.
Comedian and Trump critic Bill Maher received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Washington institution that is entangled in a legal battle over President Donald Trump's effort to overhaul it. https://cnn.it/44A6E6N
"Comedian" and Trump "critic". FTFY
stopped watching this moron when he sucked up to ann coulter.
As Maher tries to get people to meet in the middle he is now disliked equally by both sides. I still watch his show but his podcast is unwatchable.
He got an award from a Trump controlled board.
E. B. White, "Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process..." It is just as well Maher is not that funny.
Zero evidence he’s a comedian or a Trump critic.
