HBO’s Bill Maher’s habit of reducing a chaotic scene to one photograph continued on Friday’s episode of Real Time, where he compared a photograph of the Alex Pretti shooting to The Last Jew in Vinnitsa photograph during the Holocaust. Joining Maher at the table was MS NOW host Joe Scarborough, who, in other Minneapolis news, declared former CNN host Don Lemon’s arrest was…

HBO’s Bill Maher kicked off Real Times’s 2026 run on Friday by claiming that Renee Good’s shooting “was an execution on the street” and lamented to Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy that President Trump won’t use his “cult leader” status to push “comprehensive immigration reform” now that he has proved “he’s the tough guy.” For his part, Kennedy was able to clear up that if you want to…

It was a rough year for the late night comedy business. One show was cancelled, it was announced another will be cancelled next year, and another was suspended for spouting off about conspiracy theories related to Charlie Kirk’s assassin. Add all that to the regular program of liberal politicking, and you get the top (bottom?) ten moments from late night 2025.

Back on November 16, HBO’s John Oliver used his Last Week Tonight program to combine two liberal favorites: late night comedy shows and public broadcasting when he announced he was holding an auction to benefit public broadcasting because otherwise “people would die” as a result of it being defunded. The auction closed on Monday night and, according to Variety, brought in a total of…

HBO’s John Oliver rehashed many of the old and familiar arguments in defense of public broadcasting on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, but because Oliver views himself as a man of action, he announced an auction to help save public media because otherwise “people would die.” Things Oliver put up for sale included, but were not limited to, actor Russell Crowe’s jockstrap, his cabbage wife…

HBO’s John Oliver is not content to only import his bad jokes from his native Britain; he also wants to import its disastrous healthcare system as well. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver devoted most of the show to a crusade against Medicare Advantage, which he alleged could be fixed by instituting a single-payer healthcare system.

HBO’s Bill Maher quipped on Friday’s Real Time that Bernie Sanders-endorsed Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s days as a Democrat are limited and that he might have to become a Republican given his Nazi tattoo and other controversies.

HBO’s John Oliver had a nearly 40-minute long meltdown on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight as he denounced Paramount CEO David Ellison’s decision to name Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News. Despite Weiss being a liberal who simply thinks the left has gone too far on things like DEI, transgenderism, and Israel, Oliver lamented that Ellison has inserted “right-leaning opinion journalism…

HBO’s John Oliver had two distinctly outrageous hot takes on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. First, Oliver called ICE operations that seek to enforce immigration laws “state-sanctioned kidnapping,” and later, during his deep dive into presidential libraries, claimed that former President Ronald Reagan is in hell.

On the latest Real Life with Bill Maher, the stridently atheist host said something surprising. “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches,” Maher said. "They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting…

For comedic reasons that only he can understand, HBO’s John Oliver devoted most of his time on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to covering the career of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During his lengthy diatribe, Oliver would also take aim at one of President Trump’s biggest first term accomplishments: the Abraham Accords. According to Oliver, the accords are to be diminished…

Before ABC announced it was lifting Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension on Monday, HBO’s John Oliver used Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to express not only his confusion about why people got so mad at Kimmel in the first place but also to claim Kimmel’s point about MAGA being “desperate to weaponize Kirk’s death” has “aged pretty well” given the suspension.

HBO’s Bill Maher attacked his former ABC bosses on Friday’s Real Time for suspending his replacement, Jimmy Kimmel. According to Maher, Kimmel was wrong in what he said, but he has a right to say it, and ABC’s suspension means the network stands for “Always Be Caving.” While Maher’s position may seem like a consistent and principled stand in favor of free speech, he got a couple key…

The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro took his book tour to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, where he and the eponymous host battled it out on whether it can be safely asserted that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a leftist. While Maher insisted that it is simply too soon to say because the internet is always full of crazy rumors, Shapiro countered that what we know…
