Bill Maher vows to do ‘everything he can’ to make sure Trump loses election

HBO host Bill Maher claimed he would do "everything he can" to make sure former President Trump isn’t re-elected in 2024 in a new interview.

When asked specifically about how he feels about the presidential election, he said he’s trying not to hyper-fixate on it and will accept the result, but he declared he'd do his best to make sure Trump loses. 

"What I have decided to do is not preemptively give up my nervous system to Donald Trump like I did last time, or maybe the last two times. If he wins, he wins," he told Variety, adding, "I’ll do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen, but none of us have much influence."

Maher also commented on how divided the U.S. is currently, suggesting that compromise is a pipe dream.

"The country is polarized. It’s like a prison yard — you’re either one team or the other. Everybody says they want to be in the middle, but really they just go to their corners," he said. 

Maher has been a prominent anti-Trump voice since before Trump won the 2016 election, criticizing Trump at every turn. Maher has been critical of radical leftism, wokeness and censorship in the Democratic Party, but he's not about to convert to the right.

Maher also quipped that if Trump goes on to beat President Biden, he will "blow up the world or put me in Guantanamo Bay or whatever."

The interview also delved into Maher’s new media venture, a podcast network based on the format of his popular "Club Random" podcast. Maher told the outlet, "the style of my podcast has notable differences from other ones, and we wanted to replicate that a bit."

"People want to hear not just a few voices, like in the old days when there were three talk shows," Maher said. "These are people who I would be interested in listening to."

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes. During 2016 and 2017, the audience would kind of look at the ceiling. The jokes...

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward.
