The NBA vet hit the ESPN broadcasting team's table first and then smacked into the "Real Time" host during the Lakers-Knicks game on Sunday, March 8

Bill Maher, suit up!

The comedian and political pundit, 70, found himself part of the action during the Los Angeles Lakers-New York Knicks game when Lakers guard Marcus Smart crashed into him.

The incident occurred in the first half of the game when Smart went after a loose ball. In attempt to save it from going out of bounds, he lost control and fell into the first row of fans before rolling onto the floor.

Maher, among the fans in the front row, was sitting immediately to the left of the ESPN crew, who took the blow from Smart first when he crashed down onto the broadcasters' table.

Bill Maher Slams Kamala Harris For Opposing Trump's Iran War: 'I See So Much Happiness'
The "Real Time" host on Friday endorsed President Donald Trump's deadly campaign in Iran and mocked Harris for opposing it.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher continued to paint himself as a progressive critic of President Donald Trump while also taking a swipe at former Vice President Kamala Harris for criticizing the Iran war — admitting on Friday that he doesn’t “hate it.”

“Also, this week, war,” said Maher. “Did you hear about that thing? We bombed Iran and it’s going on. Now, if you expect me to say I hate it, I don’t. Sorry! When he puts boots on the ground, yeah, then I’ll hate it. Now, I know too many happy Iranian Americans, sorry.”
...
“I mean, Kamala Harris made a statement, she said, ‘This is a war the American people don’t want,’” Maher continued. “And who knows more about what the American people don’t want?”
...
“I just don’t get what liberals don’t get about liberation,” said Maher. “I see so much happiness. I see it in Venezuela, I see it here in Iran. Could we skip the part where we talk about, ‘Oh, they had so many different reasons for going to war,’ ‘regime change’ and ‘we gotta get rid of the nukes’ and ‘they were supporters of terrorism.’”

Purity politics gets the left nowhere
by kos

Remember Jill Stein?

In case you’ve forgotten—since her name only resurfaces on schedule every four years—she’s the perennial Russian-backed Green Party candidate who materializes right on cue to trash Democrats, ostensibly from the left, then vanishes back into whatever bunker sustains her until the next presidential cycle.

Her 2024 campaign manager was Jason Call. In February 2025, this supposed leftist wrote that while Donald Trump was bad, “electing [Kamala] Harris would’ve been worse.”

To Call, all of Trump’s evils—and the list is endless—were still preferable to the alleged “moral stain of re-electing genocide.” You can argue, quite easily, that Trump was objectively worse for Gaza given that Israeli warmongering Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly preferred him.

‘West Wing’ Star’s Wife Unloads on Bill Maher for Attacking Him
Owen Mason Hill

Actress Amy Landecker lambasted “hypocrite” Bill Maher for using her husband, Bradley Whitford, as a liberal punching bag.

“If Bill Maher wants to come after my fricking husband one more time and complain about the fact that people who are known are having an opinion. Who is he? What is he famous for? Just being known and having an opinion?” Landecker, 56, said with Whitford by her side on Obsessed: The Podcast. “And then coming after him and going, ‘Oh, you’re the worst kind of liberal.’ Well, to me, he’s the worst kind of hypocrite.”
...
“First of all, why are you so grumpy? You are literally the most angry stoner I’ve ever met in my entire life,” Landecker said. “Plus, your show has never been bigger, so shut up about being canceled.”

“He is worried about cancel culture on this, his 35th year of hosting a show,” Whitford agreed. “He’s a comedian talking about politics, and he doesn’t want anyone else to express an opinion!”
