Bill Maher claps back at CNN’s Chris Wallace for bringing up 9/11 comments: ‘This is so old’
NY Post
Bill Maher took umbrage with CNN’s Chris Wallace for confronting him over the cancellation of the comedian’s show by Disney-owned ABC more than two decades ago after he made controversial comments about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
“First of all, this is so old,” Maher told Wallace, adding: “Really? That’s of interest still?”
Maher, who hosts HBO’s “Real Time,” appeared on Wallace’s interview show “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” which airs on corporate sister CNN as well as the Max streaming service — all three of which are subsidiaries of Warner Bros. Discovery — over the weekend.
The interview was reported by the news site Mediaite.
During the interview, Wallace brought up Maher’s ouster as host of ABC’s “Politically Incorrect,” the late-night political talk show whose format is similar to that of “Real Time.”
Wallace prefaced the clip by saying that Maher made a comparison between the US military and the Al-Qaeda hijackers — a claim that Maher denied.
