Bill Maher I try not to become my own punchline!!!
Published
Bill Maher had one thing on his mind before accepting one of comedy’s highest honors…and it wasn’t his speech, it was his shoes.
Jacob I caught up with him on Sunday before he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center…and while many people are focused on the politics surrounding the evening, Bill seemed much more concerned with making sure his newest kicks didn’t send him face-first onto the stage.
Watch the video…his shoe comment is pretty hilarious. Maher makes jokes while answering questions about honor… but quickly returns to what really matters: his position.
We also asked him if he had spoken to President Trump before the ceremony…with POTUS now serving as president of the Kennedy Center amid months of controversy. As TMZ previously reported, the venue has been at the center of headlines ever since Trump’s name appeared on the building — and then came down.
Before heading inside, we asked Bill if he had a message for the already-raging criticism of the ceremony…and his answer is short, confident, and worth hearing for yourself.
Jokes can bring the house down…Bill just doesn’t want to be the one to fall to the ground.
