Bill Maher, the well-known liberal comedian and TV broadcaster, recently called off a scheduled two-hour show that was going to include Kanye “Ye” West. Maher described West as “a very charming anti-Semite,” voicing worries that the controversial remarks made by West will incite anti-Jewish sentiment.
In an earlier this month interview with Harvey Levin for “TMZ Investigates,” Bill Maher said that he had chosen not to broadcast the two-hour edition of his podcast, “Club Random with Bill Maher,” that included West.

According to Maher, the issue is that West “appeals mostly, of course, he’s a rock star, to young people. They don’t know much and they certainly don’t know much about the Middle East or Jews,” He went on, implying that these young people are simple to sway.
Maher continued, saying he thinks West “was helpful for spreading the fertilizer, and I do mean fertilizer, for this idea that Israel and the Jews are like the worst people in the world.”
Maher stated that despite this, he believed his two-hour, never-to-be-broadcast podcast discussion with West “was going to be a learning moment,” and that “we had an amazing, fun time.” He continued by saying that West is “a very charming anti-Semite.
“And by the way, he’s not the only one in America who feels that way,” Maher added. “It’s not like the Jews are universally loved, except for Kanye West, OK?”
In response, Levin compared West to Adolf Hitler and said that many individuals could have been “thinking what [Kanye West] was thinking” about Jewish people, “but in Kanye’s case, the fact that he’s saying it out loud gives other people permission to say it too.”
“Yes. Exactly,” Maher said. “That’s why I wouldn’t air that episode. Because I’m not going to contribute to this.”
‘I like Hitler,’ Kanye West proclaimed in a December 2022 Rolling Stone interview, wearing a black mask that covered his neck and face.
