Bill Maher, 70, Sucks Up to Trump After Kennedy Center Award Chaos [View all]
Bill Maher, 70, Sucks Up to Trump After Kennedy Center Award Chaos
After a messy back-and-forth over the Mark Twain Prize, the late-night host opted for praise over payback.

Bill Maher is suddenly playing nice with Donald Trump—even after the president tried to stop a coveted award from making its way to the late-night host’s trophy case.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the 70-year-old host addressed the week-long mess over his Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. While the comedian acknowledged the White House’s efforts to torpedo the honor, he then seemed to shrug it all off.
“I just want things to work out. I’m not looking for a fight, and I’m not mad that he did this,” Maher said in his monologue.
“Me and the president, we have a complicated relationship… this has been going on a long time, so him trying to block me from getting it? I respect the move.”
