Bill Maher opens up about his unresolved feud with Ben Affleck, sparked by a 2014 on-air clash where Maher and Sam Harris made controversial remarks about Islam — views Affleck called “gross and racist,” comparing the debate to a “Sesame Street” argument. Though Maher has invited Affleck to Real Time every year since, the two have never appeared together. Despite twelve years passing, the core disagreement remains — Maher admits he’s unsure if even a private chat would bridge the gap, while Affleck stands firm on speaking truthfully, even if it’s unpopular. The episode, which Maher says more people bring up than any other, remains a cultural touchstone — a moment where Hollywood collided with politics, and America watched.
