Bill Maher has responded for the first time to President Donald Trump’s record-long Truth Social attack on him. He disputed several of the president’s claims, starting with who calls whom.

On Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher held up a printout of Trump’s post, which ran more than 1,300 words and was Trump’s longest ever on the platform, according to USA Today's reporting.

“Longest ever! Kind of a flex,” Maher joked in his monologue. “I tell you, dining at the White House is the opposite of the Cheesecake Factory: After you leave, they review you.”...

A Hollywood publication delivered a scathing verdict on late-night host Bill Maher's latest sit-down with a former Trump White House insider.

Variety's chief correspondent Marlow Stern tore into the HBO host's "Real Time" interview with Karoline Leavitt, Trump's former White House press secretary, accusing Maher of delivering a "litany of compliments" about the president while barely challenging his guest.

Stern didn't treat the booking as a one-off. He framed it as the latest sign of Maher's warming relationship with Trumpworld, pointing to the comedian's recent four-hour dinner at the White House alongside Kid Rock and Stephen A. Smith. Trump later suggested to reporters that Maher's on-air criticism is mostly for show....

"I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher 'relevant,'" Trump wrote. "Bill Maher is weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him." ...

Bill Maher has taunted Donald Trump over a recent honorary awards win that was handed to the talk show host.

Maher, 70, was confirmed last week as the recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The announcement at the time was met with firm denial from White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, though it was confirmed a short while after MAGA-leaning GOP members aired their anger. Maher has since hit back at Trump and his team, The Hill reported.

Speaking to his audience during a recording of HBO's Real Time, Maher said he was honored to have been selected and even wanted the president to be at the ceremony when he receives the award. ...

Staffers at the White House were forced to walk back a statement mocking a report that claimed Bill Maher would receive an honor at the Kennedy Center.

The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor will be handed to the long-serving talk show host Maher at the Kennedy Center, according to an insider speaking to Politico.
