Television personality Bill Maher, who hosts the popular show Real Time With Bill Maher, shared his thoughts about potentially stepping away from his role during a pre-election Club Random podcast episode. Speaking with actress Jane Fonda in a conversation that reportedly happened over a month ago, Maher expressed his weariness regarding President-elect Donald Trump.
โIโm shiiting my pants,โ Maher said. โItโs hard to believe.โ

โI mean, I may quit,โ Maher continued. โBecause I donโt wanna do another โ I did Trump. I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I called him a con man before anybody. I did, โheโs a mafia boss.โ I was the one who said he wasnโt gonna concede the election. Iโve done it.โ
Maher mentioned heโs โseen this fucking shitโ when Fonda inquired about Trumpโs attitude toward the host.
โHeโs very hostile to me. He tweets about me every week,โ Maher said.

In late September, Trump took to Truth Social to comment about witnessing โfake laughterโ while watching โLow Rated Bill Maher.โ A week prior, Trump had posted that โthe ratings-challenged Bill Maher, on his increasingly boring show on HBO, is really having a hard time coping with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.โ
โEvery week, he accidentally watches my show and then, โlow ratings loser,'โ Maher said, mimicking Trumpโs speaking style. โBut, I mean, I just, Iโm bored with it.โ
When Fonda recommended that the host โfind a new thing to do and not do Trump,โ Maher explained that thereโs โno other thingโ since Real Time centers on political discourse.
