Bill Maher Considers Quitting HBO's 'Real Time' Over Trump Fatigue

The comedian expressed frustration on his podcast about covering another Trump presidency, citing exhaustion and repetitiveness.

Bill Maher stated on his 'Club Random' podcast that he might quit his long-running HBO show 'Real Time' due to exhaustion from covering Donald Trump, who recently won a second term as U.S. president.
Maher emphasized that he has been critical of Trump for years, calling him a 'con man' and 'mafia boss' before many others, but now feels 'bored' and tired of the recurring political focus.
Despite his comments, Maher’s show was renewed by HBO earlier this year for two more seasons, extending its run through 2026.
During the podcast, Maher and guest Jane Fonda discussed potential alternatives, but Maher dismissed the idea of shifting focus, stating that 'the show is the politics.'
Maher also noted that Trump frequently criticizes him on social media, calling him a 'low ratings loser,' further contributing to his fatigue with the ongoing political dynamic.
