Bill Maher receives Mark Twain Prize at Kennedy Center
Several comedians, including Mark Twain Prize awardee Bill Maher, mocked the president and cracked jokes about the tarp covering the Kennedy Center front signage.
Judging by his recent remarks and the fact that he’s already an asshole, I bet that if Trump were running in 2028, Maher would vote for him.
They gave it to Maher?! 🤦♀️
Forbes calling Bill Maher a comedian really feels like slander and liable. Bill Maher is an anti-humourist.
Trump thinks that we’ll forget that his name was removed if it’s covered by the tarp. Like the ‘coverup’ of the Epstein files. In a way, making jokes about Trump normalizes his behavior and ignores the widespread devastating consequences of his actions. There’s nothing funny about that.
It makes me sick to see Mark Twain and Bill Maher mentioned in the same sentence.
Colbert is the best candidate for Twain award imo.
First Trump and now Kevin spacey. I guess Bill Maher just loves pedophiles.
Bill Maher is the Chuck Schumer of comedy.
Bill Maher is a tool.
Haven’t heard when last Maher got laid.
If you look at his history and love of the playboy mansion it falls in line with
@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social To my knowledge, Spacey was never accused by a minor, was found not liable in the civil suit that came out of his first accusation in the US, and not guilty in a UK criminal trial.
Disappointed in Bill Maher. Not because he criticizes Democrats, but because he acts like the left is just as bad as right, but just polar opposites. Not true.
Receiving the Mark Twain Prize (Donald Trump edition) on Sunday and having Kevin Spacey on your podcast on Monday is unfortunately a funny bit
His guest tomorrow is Graham Platner’s Tattoo
Hard to imagine he achieved this very prestigious honour after the horrors of “soft cancellation” bsky.app/profile/left...
I really want you guys to do a bonus episode on the award ceremony, but also I cannot ask that of another soul.
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
Perhaps it was a prize for efficiency: he packs some much awfulness into one sentence.
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.
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.
I just feel like being a guy who absolutely sucks is easier on the right for … reasons?
He's a lost cause and I'm tired of people platforming that Nazi loving freak.
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.
oh stop the presses your vote is in play wow
at fox news, bigot bill maher is a "liberal icon"
All the naysayers on the right were run out of the party when they went hard right. Same thing needs to happen on the left.
The truth is, no one wants to claim Bill Maher. He's the guy who shows up at every party and no one will fess up to inviting him.
Rich guy doesn't like paying taxes shocker.
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
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.
He’s mad because we all hate his talentless ass.
Bill Maher is racist, sexist, and homophobic. The sooner he leaves the Democratic Party, the better for everyone.
Of course Bill Maher would have Kevin Spacey on his podcast.
Spacey on David Ellison being MAGA, lists the shittiest people ever: “What they have done is they've stood up for Israel. They have absolutely hired people who no one else would hire. Johnny Depp, Brett Ratner, the list goes on. They're unafraid. And I l have great respect for what they’re doing.”
Foul men discussing being foul.
Is it Platform the Rapists Month?
Literally who likes Bill Maher?
Loved one comment from a guy who said “I don’t think the arsonist should get to decide the significance of the fire.”
It must've been a tough time.
reminder that at least three of Kevin Spacey’s accusers have died under mysterious circumstances
I’m anti death penalty and an abolitionist, but I think rape should carry the death penalty. maybe that would shut these fuckers up.
According to many members of the Democratic party going on this guys show is fine, but Hasan is the devil
Further evidence in my theory of “centrist liberalism” as just people who love and want to uphold rape culture and end any possible reverberations from metoo
I know what you are, Billy Maher.
Were they discussing age of consent laws? 😒
Once again not beating the pedophilia allegations
Bill Maher absolutely the kind of guy who preys on the ‘young people’ he loudly despises and would cover for your famous powerful people crimes + push someone into traffic to save himself as he thought he could get away with it in a sacrifice-someone-and-live-one-extra-day-of-life pact with a devil
I prepared a speech about my impact and oeuvre just in case I get the prestigious Mark Twain prize.
He’s kinda like Mark Twain in that he would have fought for the Confederacy
Totally something Samuel Clemens himself would do
A 75 year old talking about "phonies".
I think I read he had a Trump impersonator come out during his speech?? Like Rich fuckin Little???
That smug Boomer sucks so much. I’d rather be waterboarded than watch his aggressively unfunny show.
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.
He got an award from a Trump controlled board.
“Trump critic” 🙄 Bill is anti-anti-Trump. He will always be more offended by the left’s response to the immoral/illegal thing Trump did than he will be by the immoral/illegal thing Trump did.
Not funny and he doesn't deserve it.
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.
Im sorry ,Bill Maher just isnt aging well . Hes turned into the "get off my lawn" guy and America's hall monitor.
He probably hands out pennies & Smarties on Halloween but only to the neughbor kids he recognizes & between 4pm - 6pm. Oh, he'lll kindly skip his Senior Discount meal at Luby's.
By 2022 he was only talking about his contempt for obese people and how he knows better than anyone else how to parent our children.
