Bill Maher opens up about his decade-long rift with Ben Affleck, sparked by a fiery 2014 debate on Real Time about Islam — where tensions flared between Maher, Affleck, and Sam Harris. Though Maher still respects Affleck and has invited him back every year since, the actor hasn’t returned. The episode, more emotional than expected, became a cultural touchstone, with fans still referencing it years later. Maher wonders if a private conversation could bridge their differences — but ultimately accepts they’re stuck on this one issue, calling it a classic American moment where a movie star’s TV meltdown echoes for years.
