Bill Maher Tests Positive for COVID

The host of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Bill Maher, has been the latest celeb to contract Covid-19.

Maher, 65, tested positive during the show’s routine weekly testing, according to a statement shared by the series’ Twitter account Thursday.

Maher is asymptomatic and “feels fine,” the statement said, as he is already “fully vaccinated.”

“The Friday, May 14th taping of Real Time with Bill Maher has been canceled,” the statement said. “Bill tested positive during weekly staff PCR testing for COVID. He is fully vaccinated and as a result, is asymptomatic and feels fine.”

So that’s good news.  The show will remain on pause until Bill no longer tests positive.
