Whitney Cummings: A Roast of Bill Maher

**Whitney Cummings** (0:05)
Bill is a warrior for free speech. He believes you should be able to say anything at any time, especially when someone else is mid-sentence. Which I'm actually fine with. Mark Twain once wrote, Few things are more irritating than when someone who is wrong is also very effective in making his point. I don't think Bill sees it as interrupting someone. I think he sees it as not letting someone finish their lie. And I think Mark Twain would approve. Bill embodies the essence of Mark Twain in more ways than you may even know. I just found out that they're similar with regards to their business acumen. Both men, very shrewd investors. Mark Twain had actually put all of his money into new technology, including the revolutionary Page typesetting machine. And Bill just went halfsies on a weed store.
With Woody Harrelson.
Bill Maher has always been ahead of his time, whether it's pushing for the legalization of marijuana or being chosen as the Advocates Person of the Year in 2006 He was praised for speaking out for gay marriage, which he made time to do in between speaking out against straight marriage. But being ahead of your time often comes with some blowback and some criticism. And I have news for Bill Maher's critics. Comedians see backlash as a sign that we're probably doing something right. Okay, we all know that Bill got some heat for having dinner with President Trump, but everyone missed that he went there to prove a point that he's been trying to prove for years. Seeing Donald Trump, Dana White, and Kid Rock together in the White House once and for all proves there really is no God. Catch Whitney Cummings and Bill Maher Mark Twain Prize For American Humor.
