Bill Maher may be on TV, but he's “exactly the same” in real life | Newsmakers

Bill Maher says he’s “exactly the same person” he plays on TV. He’s been hosting comedy shows for 33 years and just won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. NPR’s Steve Inskeep sat down with Maher at his Los Angeles home and asked him about his creative process, inviting Louis C.K. to honor him at the Kennedy Center’s Twain ceremony and what he thinks about President Trump since having dinner with him. ---------------------------- NEWSMAKERS takes you face to face with the person of the moment.
