Bill Maher Cracks Up Laughing Over Comedian Matt Friend’s Hilariously Uncanny Trump Impression As They Act Out Absurd Conversation
Comic and pundit Bill Maher was joined on his podcast this week by comedian Matt Friend, whose dead-on Donald Trump impression had the host cracking up laughing repeatedly.
Maher was joined on the latest edition of his “Club Random” podcast by Friend, who repeatedly brought out his Trump impression throughout the show.
Eventually, Maher had Friend play Trump as they acted out a conversation Maher might have with the former president.
Maher started out with what he would say in a conversation with Trump were they to meet up a third time in a more social situation, rather than an interview. And the resulting ad-libs from Friend had Maher rolling.
Added bonus: Maher found out who TikTok star Charli D’Amelio is.
FRIEND: The Tonight Show starring Charli D’Amelio, 2046.
MAHER: Who’s that?
FRIEND: Exactly?
MAHER: Oh, you just.
FRIEND: Now, I flipped it! She’s like the biggest TikToker.
MAHER: Is he really?
FRIEND: She. Yeah, she.
MAHER: Who was it? .
FRIEND: She’s like a dancer. Yeah. Dancer on TikTok. Yeah.
MAHER: A dancer on TikTok?
FRIEND: She has, like, 100 million followers. It’s unbelievable. You know that Chinese app from Beijing? Warps the minds of our children, right?

MAHER: I don’t hear it, but maybe, maybe.
FRIEND: Okay fine.
MAHER: You know, it’s hard. Maybe you don’t hear yourself.
FRIEND: Oh, really? Even the cast of Coda could hear it. Okay? I’m sorry.
MAHER: I’m going to get you doing Trump. Okay, so this is me, but this is real because …
FRIEND: That’s great.
MAHER: … I did meet him twice.
FRIEND: Okay.
MAHER: And I would say to him, if we just were shooting this shit.
FRIEND: Sure.
MAHER: You know, like I don’t want to start a fight. I know you’re running for president, and I know you’re —
FRIEND: This is my friend, Galen.
