JD Vance is making another late-night stop this week—this time with Bill Maher, in a booking that will make him the first sitting vice president to appear on Real Time.
Vance’s appearance on Friday will also make him the second of Donald Trump’s vice presidents to sit down with Maher this month. Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared on Real Time on June 5, where he revisited Jan. 6 and said rioters who assaulted police “never should have been pardoned.”
The timing adds another layer of intrigue: Vance’s interview comes just two days before Maher is set to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday, June 28—putting a sitting vice president on Real Time at the start of what amounts to a career-honor weekend for Maher.
The HBO host has been a frequent critic of Trump and Vance, but he also spent time in the president’s better graces last year after a White House dinner arranged by Kid Rock—an encounter Maher later described on Real Time as surprisingly cordial. Trump has since turned on Maher publicly again, though with a somewhat more backhanded form of contempt than he tends to direct at other late-night antagonists, recently calling him “slightly more talented” than Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert even as he dismissed him as a “highly overrated lightweight.”
Vance, the 50th vice president of the United States, will appear as he continues promoting his new memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. He is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.
The booking gives Vance another late-night platform following his full-hour appearance last week on Fox News’ Gutfeld!, where he joined Greg Gutfeld’s panel show to discuss Communion, faith, politics, and the news of the day.
Prior to his recent book-tour swing, Vance’s most notable late-night appearance came well before his political rise: a 2017 visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers, back when he was still best known as the author of Hillbilly Elegy and was publicly critical of Trump.
The panel portion of this week’s Real Time will feature Senator Raphael Warnock, the Democratic senator from Georgia and senior pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Larry Wilmore, the comedian, writer, and former host of The Nightly Show.
It’ll be a circle jerk of obnoxious jerks!
Isn’t it just a bit odd how the most feverish never Trump ‘leftist’ chosenites suddenly became pro-Trump in 2024?
Bill Maher, Michael Rapoport, Sam Harris and many others.
Did it ever occur to you why Antifa magically got mothballed?
It’s almost like it’s all fake and financed by Israeli spies pretending to be ‘leftists’ or ‘conservatives.’
Quite fucking stupid!
You boomers can’t deny it anymore. It’s true and we all know it.
It stands for anti fascism! Meaning, we’re against your Dear Toddler Drumpf imposing his fascistic vision on to the country!
You’re too fucking stupid to opine with the grown ups here, Zero! Go back to school, and this time, put in the effort to pass, mMkay bitchboi?
You continue to show your unwiped ass to the world with your dumbfuck anti Semitism and you blaming boomers for your loser life!
As I’ve stated many times to you…get a life, child!
We run this bitch and you can’t do shit about it.
The boomers still won’t say ‘shhhhhhh’ because they know small hats do in fact control all of it. They cope by pretending to be evangelicucks even though exactly none of them attend church or even believe in God. It’s purely to clear their psychological clutter via israeli geopolitics. They live viciously through jayish nationalism. Small hats give them permission to be Islamophobic since it is an enemy of Israel. Yet they never allow boomers to actually halt white genocide through mass immigration of these very Muslims into white countries. So it just functions as ‘exhaust fumes of democracy’ as mischling Christopher Hitchens called it.
And so much bullshit! You’re never going to convince us you’re nothing but an obnoxious loser, Zero!
Even if this is parody – I may wear a small hat, but I have a huge cock. Get the sand out of your foreskin, muzzie!
Your behavior is more proof of that. Jud Suß was a masterpiece.
And all Nazis get fucking crippling beatdowns in the end, bitchboi!
🪦
You’re nothing but an unstable loser with mental issues that needs to be looked at by a psychiatrist, before you try and hurt someone!
Act like an adult, for once in your life, and get help, Zero!
The Hillsbury Doughboy is really pushing this book hard. Doesn’t he have a real job he should be doing? Donald Jeffrey Trumpstein probably needs a new diaper.
Does Couch Boy really not have anything better to do than to do than to go on this humiliation tour for his stupid book? Does he forget that he’s the fucking Vice President of the United States?
He’s not allowed to do shit anyway because he’s getting fucked in both ends by Thiel and Trump. Thiel who tells him what to say/do, and Trump who minimizes and humiliates him at every opportunity. Hilarious how these weak cucks like Vance, Rubio, Cruz, Graham, etc. lap up the sweat from Trump’s balls like eager little brothel hoes. Have some respect for yourself, men. For God’s sake, he talked shit about Cruz’s wife and Cruz is STILL subservient. I just don’t get it.
You small hats lost. The world is healing.
You shit eating Nazi filth are making it worse!
The beatdown that’s due you will leave you in debt with massive medical bills for the rest of your life, bitchboi!
In response to the so-called “Iran > Israel” – We have no beef with the Persian people, but rest assured Israel will continue to assert her dominance over the Middle East until all of your beloved “H” terrorist networks are destroyed. Now go wipe your ass with your bare left hand and make love to your sisters and goats, you filthy half-breed.
Israel lost badly and you won’t exist when America stops subsidizing you and fighting all your wars, you inbred parasite.
Jews marry their cousins. See the West Bank hilltop youth.
And a good Nazi is a dead Nazi! Or one that gets badly crippled for life by people who won;t take your fucking shit, bitchboi!
But nobody to leave it to because he never had a wife or kids even though it was easy in his youth.
You missed the boat 🚤
You were never invited.
Because you’re driftwood 🪵
You project your own loser social life onto me, because you have nothing! Because you’re fucking insane and need some serious shock therapy for your own good!
Think you can fucking do that Zero, hmmm? What say you, bitchboi?
nope
To Maher: please expose Vance as the mindless supporter of a criminal president.
If anything, Bunghole Bill will just bond with Couchfucker over woke liberals and political correctness run amok!
They’re both small feeble excuses of men!
Bunghole Bill is an apt nickname. Maher and Vance are both so deep in the closet they can’t tell whose dicks they’re choking on.
I think you meant to say: JD, please expose Bill as the mindless supporter of a criminal “president”.
He’s such a poser.
If anything, those two obnoxious shitholes should slap each other to death!
I KNEW Bill Maher got the Mark Twain prize because of Trump. Trump had him over for dinner, along with Kid Rock, and said hey if you’ll lay off me (don’t say my mother was an orangutan anymore, etc.) I’ll get you the Mark Twain prize.
It’s obvious. The Kennedy Center decides who gets the Mark Twain prize. Trump took over the Kennedy Center, made himself chairman, kicked half of the board out and installed his stooges. They do what he tells them.
I was a big fan of Bill in the early 90s. I used to agree with him on a lot of things, but the last five years all he’s done is get more and more bitter and more conservative. All he does is bitch about college, masks, and the Democrats. He isn’t remotely funny. Close your eyes and listen to him, the deep, snide sarcasm, like he’s too cool for us non-hipsters…too many bong hits?
I wonder what happened to lil’ Bill?
He’s thoroughly disingenuous, using obscure polls to push a narrative. But it’s the bitch, bitch, bitching. The dismissive tone. He never shuts up about his favorite targets.The pretentiousness of Club Random. That never shutting up about his solar panels. Or making sure you know how much he likes smoking dope.
It isn’t surprising there are so few comedians for his event. They don’t like him. They think he’s a joke thief. I thought he just repeated his own jokes – “thank you, one guy”.
Compare it to the one they had last year for Conan O’Brien, where all the best comedians showed up because they love him.
He should be another trump * award.
He has no sense of humor about himself! He’s a toxic narcissist that loves smelling his own farts and who threatens his audience if they don’t get behind him!
One of these days, that whiny little bitch is gonna get his ass beaten up on his show for going too far! And the world will applaud it!
