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 Trumpeven after the president tried to stop a coveted award from making its way to the late-night hosts trophy case.
On Fridays 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 Houses efforts to torpedo the honor, he then seemed to shrug it all off.
I just want things to work out. Im not looking for a fight, and Im 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.

(9,986 posts)He will never live it down. At this point in history, normalizing and sucking up to MAGA will leave an
indelible stain that won't be washed away with time. Nothing that he's said or done before or after will matter.

(179,716 posts)Maher sucked up to trump because Maher is no longer relevant. Maher ceased being funny a long time ago. Giving Maher this award is an insult to the memory and legacy of Mark Twain

(2,575 posts)Maher going full MAGA as the Presidents approval rating circles the drain is a disaster of a choice that makes no sense outside of blackmail.
