Bill Maher interviews Karoline Leavitt on Real Time

tvOct 24, 20264382

Bill Maher hosted former Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Real Time after dining with President Trump earlier this month alongside Kid Rock and Stephen A. Smith, the article reports. The 70-year-old host opened the show by boasting about the four-hour dinner and made profanity-laced jokes about the meal in his monologue, then welcomed Leavitt, who left the press secretary role in August. Leavitt told Maher the president “sends his regards” and that she will begin as a Fox News pundit on November 1, and she said she left the White House to care for her two young children, ages two years and six months. Maher riffed about the White House ballroom and mocked Leavitt’s successor, Katie Zacharia, for lasting five days in the job, while offering compliments to Trump and not pressing Leavitt on key claims, including her defense of a reporter incident. The article criticizes Maher’s approach as a soft, nonjournalistic interview that declined to challenge conservative talking points. The segment circulated online and prompted commentary about Maher’s friendliness toward Trumpworld rather than adversarial questioning, the piece concludes.

Bill Maher: Democrats are really fed up with not being the macho party. Andy Beshear: What I think is hysterical is Pete Hegseth is running around talking about testosterone, but he has a makeup stand and wears more hair gel than a boy band.

Bill Maher willingly sat down and had dinner-twice-with a man whose administration murders people on the high seas, with no due process whatsoever.

Bill Maher conducted an embarrassingly softball interview with former Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt on tonight's 'Real Time,' complimenting Trump's ballroom and agreeing with her calling Joe Biden a "mental patient": variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Bill Maher has been a generic right-wing crank for years now. Do some people still not know this?

Who is the audience for this now? Who that knows anything thinks it’s remotely relevant that Trump treats Bill Maher well?

I have never liked Bill Maher, and I cannot stand to listen to him with his inane monologues. I certainly will never give him any further credence due to his Trumpism!
