Donald Trump‘s re-election may just be Bill Maher‘s breaking point.
The Real Time with Bill Maher host told Jane Fonda on his Club Random podcast that he “may quit” the HBO show, citing Trump as motivation to do so, per Variety.
“I don’t want to do another — I did Trump,” he said on the Dec. 1 episode of Club Random. “I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I called him a con man before anybody, I did ‘he’s a mafia boss,’ I was the one who said he wasn’t going to concede the election. I’ve done it. I’ve seen this fucking —.”
Fonda proceeded to ask Maher why Trump is “so hostile to Jimmy Kimmel and not to [him],” though Maher begged to differ, arguing Trump is, actually, “very hostile” to him.
“He tweets about me every week,” he claimed. “Every week he accidentally watches my show and then [he goes], ‘Low ratings loser!’ I’m bored with it.”
Fonda proposed that he “find a new thing to do and not do Trump,” to which Maher replied that “the show is the politics.”
“There is no other thing,” he added. “And he’s going to dominate the news like he always does.”
Nonetheless, as noted by Variety, Real Time was renewed through 2026 in March, meaning there will be at least two more seasons for Maher to host.
Trump has previously taken aim at Maher on his Truth Social platform, calling him “highly overrated” in June and claiming that he suffers from “befuddled mess” in September. Maher took jabs at Trump’s cabinet selections in Real Time‘s Season 22 finale, which aired Nov. 22.
