Regardless of earlier threats to give up, Invoice Maher plans to stay by his HBO speak present till the bitter finish.
The Actual Time host addressed hypothesis that he’s stepping away from the present that launched in 2003 after he beforehand claimed in jest that he “could give up” following Donald Trump‘s election for a second presidential time period.
“I don’t know the place this began about I’m eliminating Actual Time. They’re going to have to tug me off of that present,” mentioned Maher on CNN.
“What I used to be saying was that I didn’t wish to do one other Trump time period,” he added. “Not simply because I don’t assume it’s going to be probably a good time for America. Perhaps once more, not going to pre-hate something, however as a result of I’ve already performed all of the jokes about Donald Trump.”
Maher continued, “I don’t know what else to say in regards to the man. However in fact, he’ll present us with loads of new materials. And I’ll get into it, however I hoped that within the episodic tv present that’s America, I hoped for some new characters.”
Final month, Maher mentioned on the Membership Random forged that he’s “s—ing his pants” after Trump received his re-election, including: “It’s arduous to consider. I imply, I’ll give up as a result of I do’’t wish to do one other. I did Trump. I did all of the Trump stuff earlier than anyone. I referred to as him a con man earlier than anyone. I did. He’s a mafia boss. I used to be the one who mentioned he wasn’t going to concede the election. I’ve performed it.”
HBO exec Nina Rosenstein has since informed Deadline in regards to the potential of Maher’s resignation, “He recorded that podcast proper after the election and he was actually joking round. He’ll at all times say his old flame is Actual Time.”
