Comedian and HBO talk show host Bill Maher has denied speculation that he will quit his show, which premiered in 2003. Maher had previously joked about stepping away from the program after Donald Trump won his re-election, but said on CNN that he is committed to continuing with “Real Time” for as long as possible.
Maher expressed frustration at having already covered all the jokes about Trump and stated that he wants to move on to new topics. However, he acknowledged that Trump’s presidency will continue to provide him with material for his show. Despite rumors of his resignation, Maher reassured fans that his first love is “Real Time” and that he will always return to it.
HBO executive Nina Rosenstein has since confirmed that there were plans to discuss the possibility of Maher’s departure, but ultimately stated that the comedian remains committed to the program.
