I just checked to see if there were any videos of Milo Yiannopoulos on this show on youtube and noticed he’s on the next one. Already one of the snowflake guests has pulled out in protest - and also complained about Maher’s comments on Islam.
He has a LOT of conservatives as guests on his show. Even when he vehemently disagrees with them, he will often give them credit for having the courage to appear in front of a hostile audience. And his audience for that show is overwhelmingly liberal.
Morgan was taking a ridiculous position and deserved to get slapped around. It’s one thing to be conservative, but quite another to argue Trump isn’t a complete disaster.
I am pretty sure that Real Time is broadcast live. There is no editing to be done.
Great response by Maher to Scahill’s criticism of the decision to have Yiannopoulos on the show.
Filmed live, sure… but broadcast live? I didn’t know that.
Might explain some temper… he can’t go back and edit anything… but it also means his prep work must me Massive. With that much pressure, he’s lucky if tourists aren’t taking guided horse-back tours of his ulcers.
OK, he gets paid a lot… but if its anything like The Late Show (and its Gotta be)… holy shit that’s non-stop work.
You really owe it to yourself to see what goes into one of those shows, because the Host of one almost has to be like Barry Allen on caffeinated jet-fuel… non-stop… FOREVER (or until some exec retires you).
Broadcast live.
Should be an interesting show. I wonder how much free reign Maher will give Milo?
Morgan (as he explained to Maher) isn’t a “Conservative”. In fact he used to be the editor of the Daily Mirror.
Milo should expect an all-out attack from all sides. As if he is on trial.
I’m not sure how being editor of the Mirror makes him “not Conservative”; it’s as reactionary a rag as the Mail is.
Left or right notwithstanding, Morgan is, however, what is known in common parlance as a “weaselly, unscrupulous cunt” and loathed by a sizable portion of the UK populace.
I wouldn’t want to do what he does.
I always thought that somewhere he might have a small cube-farm with people competing to present bit ideas… and wouldn’t it be fun to be one of the 20 to come up with ideas for a week.
Reality is that Its just too fast paced for that and that the days of pitching ideas… jokes… funny lead ins and concepts…are over. 
No, it’s not. It doesn’t address anything at all about what is in the letter, which claims that all Maher will be doing is providing the man with a platform. It’s just a swipe.
And that is what Maher does. He swipes. And that will only make Yiannopoulos look better to those he can attract. And if he’s well behaved, then he looks good. There’s no downside for him–hence why he’s willing to do it.
When you’ve been banned from several countries, you’re already exposed as a bad person. It’s not something that needs to be done again. So that excuse rings hollow.
And the response is just an attack. Not a bit of understanding of why a guy might not want to be a part of it. No, someone disagrees with him, so he’s the enemy.
All in all, it’s a bad response.
The Mirror is a Left-wing, Labour Party supporting newspaper. And if you saw the show you should have heard Morgan say that he wouldn’t have voted for Trump (if he could) and that he always watches the Maher show and agrees with almost everything he says.
Yiannopoulos is a reprehensible bigot but I agree with Maher in the sense that sunlight is the best anti-septic for vermin like him. Liberals should take every opportunity to debate these assholes publicly and expose them for what they really are.
Get a grip, snowflake.
Actually, that post was the opposite of “snowflake” behavior.
Judging by the amount of name calling in this thread, I can see why Bill M. is on the shit list.
His interview with Milo Whats-his-name-opolous was informative. The guy is a substance-free, worthless, troll, and I can’t believe anyone pays any attention to him…
I was disappointed in how Bill Maher focused on trying to find agreement with Milo rather than pointing out all the hateful, dishonest, and otherwise awful things that he’s said. Very weak interview, IMO.
