Bill Maher is trash. But not as trash as Trump. So there’s that…

Very low bar there.... But Maher clears it. Most people do but not everyone.

That bar is so low the mantle clears it

He’s actually hoping we can win in Iran; he’s as much trash as Trump. I bet he’s date raped as well.

How does America ‘win’ in Iran?

There's a difference between thinking we can't win and hoping we lose.

There’s also a realizing that “winning” will cost more lives in a pointless fashion and “losing” means discontinuing military operations as they currently stand. But this also isn’t black and white and thinking either or is childish. This is complex, a situation this administration is not fit to handle. Edit: words for my intent

He used to be cool. It's sad.

No he didn't. He's always been an asshat. He just used to mask it better.

Hey Kevin Hart was at one point funny

Kevin Hart IS funny. He’s just not a good comedian. He seems like a naturally funny guy who would be fun in private. But as a comedian he just misses the mark.

Don’t diminish the award, Bill had to beat out Rob Schneider in order to win

"I will be there, Don, and I hope you will be too. I mean, the place is named after you now, you really should show up. You could thank me for being one of the few people on the lunatic left who’s glad you hit [Iran](https://www.rawstory.com/tag/iran) and is hoping we win that one, OK?"

Absolutely ridiculous that this f****** clown still considers himself to be a leftist.

Bill Maher literally took the same route John fetterman took without the immediate brain damage that preceded it. He pretty much sucks up to trump here and there

It's from his Friday monologue

It's hard to tell on paper without Bill's berating the audience for not laughing included

Who the hell thinks Maher is funny?

Maher went to the White House for dinner with trump, who does he think he's fooling?

Legitimate-Public-56 Mar 29, 2026 +5
He went to mar-a-logo for dinner. I could be wrong and he went to the white house as well.

You're the only right wing commedian on TV, of course you got the nomination. Pretending that Trump is opposed to it is a bit rich. Good commedian's punch up, they satirise people who deserve to be mocked. Bill Maher is not a good commedian.

lkdubdub Mar 28, 2026 +27
Also pretending to be on the left

There’s also Gutfeld, fwiw.

I'm not defending Maher's comedy chops, but Gutfeld is not a comedian.

I still don’t know why MSNBC hasn’t tried to give Jello Biafra a show

That would bring me back to MSNBC

I'd watch that.

Gutfeld isn't a comedian, he just says he is.

cmarkcity Mar 29, 2026 +3
Calling Gutfeld a “comedian” is like calling explosive diarrhea “art”

Gutfeld and rob Schneider could sell out nursing homes all accross the Midwest on tour.

Maher is an irrelevant a******; end of story; nothing to see here, move on, people

DavidLivedInBritain Mar 29, 2026 +6
Maher doesn’t deserve the award and Trump is evil. He is not in the class of those amazing comedians (and Kevin hart). Not all of the are still funny like Chappelle but they all had comedic genius at a time

Bill maher loves trump. Mark Twain hates Bill Maher.

It's a shame what has become of Bill Maher. I had to have been one of his biggest fans for over 20 years. I never missed a show, watched all of his specials, Religulous, etc. I could tell you all of his (former) views. I adored him. I didn't even mind his arrogance, I actually found it to be endearing. I never liked his anti-vax slant and I always knew he was a bit kooky but he has really and truly lost his way now. I'm very much pro-marijuana but I think maybe heavy, long-term use has addled his brain. He is a shell of what he once was. I hope, for his sake, he will retire soon so he can go out with some dignity. I have no idea why he was given this award but I hope he accepts it graciously and just goes away. Become a member of Mar-a-lago and drink whole milk in the hot tub with Kid Rock & RFK. There's a pair of twins waiting for him there.

Oh great. The guy who can’t stop whining about a satirical essay written about him is winning an award for humor.

No bill maher being spiteful after kissing ass to get an award?

Genuinely interested to see who shows up for Bill for this award/other comedians that support/show-up on his behalf? I’ve generally enjoyed watching the ceremony or at least highlights of this award over the last decades or so. I’ll do a hard pass this year.

I’m sure Rob Schneider will be available.

Even Trump doesn’t care about Bill Maher.

Where do I send them. I’m moving to a condo and have been cleaning out my house where I raised my kids. In our rec room is a wall of shelves filled with trophies. Some from T-ball, hockey, football, baseball and even one swimming. Along with the trophies is a drawer of ribbons- some firsts. A lot of seconds and thirds and a handful of participation awards. After deliberations we, as a family want to award them to President Trump. We are withholding the potty training trophy though as our rules state he must have three dry diaper days in a row. Keep trying Donny. Congrats

Why is Maher still relevant? Dude kissed the ring and hasn’t had biting political commentary since the 90s (and even that was pretty subpar).

Does bill maher think people like him more than Trump

It’s the only way to get Maher attention…. Shower he with awards he doesn’t deserve. Lmao

Maher has been irrelevant for some time now. Perhaps the award is for longevity.
