Wayne Brady Slams Bill Maher Over Obama Comparison, Says Real Time Host No Expert on Being Black
15 May 2013 6:45 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Since he hasn't made good on his offer and "slapped the s--t" out of Bill Maher yet, perhaps Wayne Brady feels he still needs to prove himself to the Real Time host. Asked this week about being compared to Barack Obama in some of Maher's jokes, Brady said on HuffPost Live that he has "always respected" the comedian. But the actor and TV host added, Maher's repeated use of Brady "as a cultural linchpin of his not-black-enough argument—that's bullshit." Maher, who has made quips about Brady on his HBO show Real Time before, said on CNN back in 2010: "I thought when we elected the first black president, as a comedian, I thought that two »

15 May 2013 8:21 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bill Maher is concerned about Lindsay Lohan, but not for the reason you might expect. Let's just say, it has less to do with her bad habits and more to do with her understanding of social networking.
Hear Maher's "New Rule" for the troubled starlet in the exclusive video above.
"Real Time" airs Fridays at 10:00 p.m. Est on HBO. »

Wayne Brady Calls ‘Bullsh*t’ On Bill Maher: ‘I Will Beat Your Ass In Public’ For Questioning My Black Cred
15 May 2013 5:38 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Comedian Wayne Brady's animosity towards Bill Maher has not softened since he said last June he wanted to "slap the shit out of" the Real Time host for jokes he had made about him. Speaking to Marc Lamont Hill on HuffPost Live Monday, Brady reaffirmed his desire to "beat [Maher's] ass in public" for saying President Obama, like Wayne Brady, is not a "real black" man. »

Wayne Brady To Bill Maher: 'I Will Beat Your Ass In Public'
13 May 2013 12:46 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Even though Wayne Brady respects Bill Maher as a comedian and performer, there's no love lost between the two, thanks to Maher's repeated use of Brady as a punchline about Obama's lack of "black" cred.
Brady spoke about how Maher has characterized him back in July on Aisha Tyler's podcast, and on Monday, he stopped by HuffPost Live and amplified his sentiments, explaining what he apparently has to do to prove his "black man" bona fides to the "Real Time" host. Something tells us Maher wouldn't enjoy it.
Watch the clip above (and check out Questlove's response to Brady's original Maher comments below). Looks like Chappelle had Wayne Brady right all along.

Upfronts: Blizzard of Pickups and Passes Leaves Everyone Dizzy
10 May 2013 9:48 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
After 72 hours of network pickups, passing and plug-pulling, what have we learned?
For starters, when the upfronts loom, there’s no such thing as a sure thing. On paper, the TV reboot of “Beverly Hills Cop” seemed about as much of a lock for a pickup as any 2013 development prospect, given the auspices of Shawn Ryan and Eddie Murphy. But CBS made the “pass” call on Friday evening after picking up two other dramas, “Intelligence” and “Hostages.”
“Cop” shop Sony Pictures TV didn’t waste any time sending the pilot out to other networks. There was plenty of competitive bidding for the project when it was shopped last summer, so Axel Foley and Son may not be in the wilderness for long.
This development cycle could mark a banner year for shopping busted pilots and series to other outlets. Certainly, Sony TV has already got the whispers (USA, TBS) going »

Neil Gaiman Pens a Second “Doctor Who” and Christopher Guest’s First TV Series

Plus more renewals, cancellations and series orders, a sodomy trial on Da Vinci’s Demons along with the finales for Once Upon a Time and Revenge. News
In the lead-up to the upfronts, NBC gave an expected sixth season order to Parks and Recreation. It also cancelled troubled comedies Whitney (which got rid of its most interesting aspect when Maulik Pancholy‘s character was written out) and 1600 Penn as well as comedies Up All Night (which was expected, considering the show’s many troubles) and Guys with Kids.
Leslie Knope wins another one.
Fox took care of an expected cancellation notice, axing Touch. However, with Kiefer Sutherland free, Fox is now talking about reviving 24 as a limited series. I’m all for the return to comedy mini-series on Broadcast TV.
Meanwhile, fans of Nikita can breathe a sigh of relief as the series’ fourth season was announced. It sounds like »

Maher: Why Are We So Afraid Of 'F*ck-Up' Terrorists?
4 May 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bill Maher ended Friday's episode of "Real Time" with a rant on America's reaction to the Tsarnaev brothers, the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. To Maher, the brothers are just another entry in a long list of terrorists or would-be terrorists that are hardly the criminal masterminds they're depicted as.
"They had no escape plan, no disguises, and they got captured," Maher said, "Because they did not foresee that the Boston Marathon would be photographed."
He also rejected the call from many conservatives to dispense with Dzhokhar's Miranda Rights and try him as an enemy combatant. "Why call every murderer an ememy combatant? That's like calling everyone in porn a porn star. It cheapens it for the real artists," he joked.
In fact, he believes that the most accurate term for the brothers was coined by their own uncle. Maher said: "Let's acknowledge we've entered a new phase in »

Sympathy For The Devils: For Bill Maher, Boston Is A Warped 9/11 Defense All Over Again

Bill Maher wasn’t always an HBO fixture. Over a decade ago, he was a network guy doing essentially the same show as HBO’s Real Time in the form of Politically Incorrect on ABC. Maher performed well in the ratings department and likely would still be at the network today if not for one comment that changed his career »

Bill Maher Defends Anthony Weiner
27 April 2013 11:23 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bill Maher had a field day when former Congressman Anthony Weiner's "private" photos hit the web, and now that Weiner's considering a run for Mayor of New York City, he's asking: why is redemption so much easier for Republicans than Democrats?
On Friday night's "Real Time," Maher compared Weiner's uncertain political future to that of former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. He argued that if Sanford can be forgiven for having "week-long international f**k fiestas," then Manhattan intellectuals should be able to forgive Weiner for "basically masturbating online."
Watch the "New Rules" segment above to hear Maher's thoughts on Christian Republicans (who often love a good redemption story) being more likely to offer a politician a "Jesus Mulligan," and how, in the age of zero privacy, "the d*ck pic is the new business card."

15 April 2013 7:56 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Real Time" host Bill Maher had a brief cameo on last night's episode of "Family Guy," singing the praises of Canadian strip clubs.
In a parody of "The Merry Old Land of Oz," Quagmire tells his friends about the wonders found in "Canadian Nudie Bars."
He sings: "Do like me / Say oui, oui / And tell 'em you're a friend of Bill Maher's," before Maher, providing his own voice, joins in: "That's how you'll get to watch them pee in Canadian nudie bars!"
Maher has appeared on "Family Guy" before, in a live-action segment in which Brian the dog appears on "Real Time" (alongside Arianna Huffington and comedian Dana Gould). He's hosted "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane on his HBO chat show several times as well.

‘You Can Worship Whatever Bullsh*t You Want, But…’ Maher Rips ‘Arrogance’ Of People Who Want A ‘National Religion’
14 April 2013 11:25 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Friday night on Real Time, Bill Maher dug up the quote that threatened to derail then-candidate Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008: "People get bitter and they cling to their guns and their religion." Maher joked, "Boy, he was way off on that." This led to a discussion about a recent poll that shows nearly one-third of Americans in support of establishing Christianity as an official national religion. »

Watch: Maher Issues Stern Warning To U.S. 'War Mongers'
13 April 2013 8:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bill Maher ended Friday's "Real Time" by saying that he's concerned about North Korea. Not about Kim Jong Un's nuclear capabilities, but rather the way American politicians overreact to foreign threats by using them as an excuse to start expensive wars.
"With Afghanistan winding down, America is dangerously close to not having a war," Maher said. And when we don't have a war, he continued, the country "gets a little sad. A little introspective. It begins thinking about poverty, schools, our crumbling infrastructure."
But he joked that going to war since World War II is a foolish endeavor: "Offering to go to war with the U.S. is like offering to go out for drinks with Lindsay Lohan."
The North Korean threat could just be another ill-fated war like so many we've participated in over the half half-century -- including a few countries with whom we've been engaged in multiple wars, »

Review: 'It's A Disaster' Is A Darkly Hilarious Apocalyptic Dramedy That's Anything But Disastrous
11 April 2013 4:03 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Real time, one-setting films are a tricky feat to pull off, stumping even the most accomplished directors (have you seen “Carnage”?), but director Todd Berger does it with panache in his sophomore feature, a clever take on the apocalypse film, “It’s A Disaster.” Assembling a cast of eight actors in one house for a film that’s part relationship dramedy and part end-of-the-world movie, Berger keeps the setting fresh and the pace moving in a story that takes a humorous look at the problems, both epic and trivial, that threaten to ruin lives. Based on the rapturous response from the Los Angeles Film Festival audience we saw it with last summer, Berger and co. have succeeded in spades [ed. this is reprint of that festival review]. Tracy (Julia Stiles) and Glenn (David Cross) are on their third date, at a couples brunch with her friends, when not one but two disasters strike the party. One, their hosts »
