Bill Maher Destroys Trump And ABC In Brutal Monologue On Kimmel Bombshell
Comedian and pundit Bill Maher came out swinging against President Donald Trump and ABC for the ouster of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over remarks after the killing of Charlie Kirk.
On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar.
The panel guests were former Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat from West Virginia; and Alex Wagner, MSNBC senior political analyst.
Maher devoted most of his monologue to brutally roasting his former network and Trump for suspending Kimmel’s show “indefinitely,” just hours after he was targeted by Brendan Carr, Trump’s hand-picked FCC commissioner:
BILL MAHER: I know why you’re happy tonight. I’m still on.
Oh, my God. Man, talk show hosts are going down like Blockbusters in the 90s. I mean, it’s, whew.
Well, I guess you all heard Jimmy Kimmel, my friend, my compatriot. He’s canned by ABC for comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassin. The day, right after the FCC guy came, head of the FCC, said he was going to revoke ABC’s license.
Let me just tell you something. I am not intimidated by the FCC. And if President Trump is watching, I have one thing to say to you. Have you lost weight? You look terrific.
Wow. Now, that’s not me and never will be, and we’re gonna get to all of it, but I think here’s the thing, life is f**king weird. It was 24 years to the day that I made comments on ABC that got me canceled from that network and Jimmy Kimmel took my slot. Did you know that? At Politically Incorrect? Oh yes, I got canceled before cancel even had a culture. So do headlines.
Yeah, this is on my wall from the Variety. White House keeps heat on ABC’s Maher. This sh*t ain’t new. It’s worse, we’ll get to that, but you know, ABC, they are steady. ABC stands for Always Be Caving.
Uh, so Jimmy… Jimmy, pal, I am with you, I support you, and on the bright side, you don’t have to pretend anymore that you like Disneyland. That was always a great part of it for me when I got my ass canned over there.
But I mean, this intimidation on the right is just so hypocritical. I mean everyone is scared now, and they’re all trying to kowtow. Good Morning America is now changing its name to “Good Morning America, even the scum who didn’t vote for Trump.”.
I mean, listen to this. Next year, the golden bachelor is Rudy Giuliani. I mean. No, I’m telling you, everybody’s going, Wolf Blitzer is broadcasting live from the Capitulation Room. That’s uh…
And the FCC, the FCC says they’re gonna go after maybe next, The View.
They got a new show lined up, it’s gonna be great. It’s called, Morning Wood with James Wood. It’s… And…
But, I gotta say, and I’m friendly with the ladies on The View, but they didn’t say anything about this this week, nothing. You know, because it’s never been their thing to weigh in on the issues. It’s just, you know, it’s just an upbeat party show. That’s why they hired people named Joy and Sunny and Whoopi. Girls, let me tell you. Go out strong, okay? It won’t kill you. I promise! It’s happened to me and I may go out after this show. We don’t know. We do not know.
