While interviewing actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore<\/a> on his “Club Random” podcast, Maher admitted he doesn\u2019t think that the five women who host the ABC show are the best spokespeople for the female perspective.<\/p>\n “And I like everyone, but I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re really at this moment the best advertisement for women,” he told the actress. \u00a0<\/p>\n BILL MAHER SAYS DEMOCRATS NEED TO ‘DO SOMETHING’ ABOUT ‘THE VIEW’ AFTER WHOOPI GOLDBERG’S IRAN COMMENTS<\/a><\/p>\n Bill Maher said on his podcast Monday that he doesn’t think the women of “The View” are the “best advertisement for women.” (Left: Photo by Dia Dipasupil\/Getty Images, Center: Photo by Noam Galai\/Getty Images, Right: Photo by Cindy Ord\/Getty Images for Tribeca Festival)<\/p>\n The topic came up when “The Drew Barrymore Show” host told Maher to visit New York City and be a guest on her show, which prompted Maher to talk about his friendship with several of the women on “The View.” He acknowledged his fondness for them as his friends but admitted their show is “a lot.”<\/p>\n “I\u2019m friendly with some of the ladies on \u2018The View\u2019 and I love them but, like, that show\u2019s a lot.”<\/p>\n Barrymore brought up that \u2018View\u2019 co-host Joy Behar appeared on her show recently and Maher remarked, “I love Joy.” He went on to say that though he likes everybody on the ABC talk show, he\u2019s not such a fan of their talking points on the program.<\/p>\n “They say some things that are just like, not helpful, say to elections.”<\/p>\n BILL MAHER’S GUEST APPLAUDS HOST’S TIRADE AGAINST ‘WEAK AND WOKE’ DEMS WHO THINK AMERICA IS ‘CRINGE’<\/a><\/p>\n HBO host Bill Maher had actress Drew Barrymore on his “Club Random” podcast this week.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Maher appeared as a guest<\/a> on “The View” in May 2024, where he clashed with co-host Sunny Hostin about Israel\u2019s conduct in its war with Hamas.<\/p>\n Hostin argued that Israel was murdering innocent Palestinian civilians and children in the conflict, and Maher pushed back. He stated that he was concerned about innocent lives being lost but insisted that Israel has the right to fight its war with Hamas and that if Hamas was concerned about innocent lives, they\u2019d stop their attacks.<\/p>\n “That’s what happens in a war. Here’s a way to stop that, stop attacking Israel,” he said.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE<\/a><\/p>\n The HBO host also called out “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg in recent weeks, after she claimed in July that Black people are oppressed in America the same way that women are oppressed in Iran.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n “That is something that, again, is infuriating about the far left, I would say. Call them whatever they wanted. Not the woke, the stupid woke, like Whoopi Goldberg, love her, but when she said a couple weeks ago that being Black was the same as being a woman in Iran, it\u2019s like, yeah, in 1920, but not today,” Maher said<\/a> during an episode of his podcast with his guest, progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.<\/p>\n Gabriel Hays is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
