The Oscars last no longer than a week, but if they hand out awards tonight to disgruntled old white people, Sharon Osbourne and Bill Maher could find themselves in a tie.
“I’m sorry, I’m 65, you’re 68, I know who I am, I do not need retraining,” the Real time elicited the host to applause from his studio audience and a smile from Osbourne, to whom he applauded. “We can not judge everyone on their worst moments,” Maher said earlier in the softball interview as the first The talk co-host slaughtered ‘disgruntled’ ex-co-host and offered a steady stream of self-justification for behavior that glanced at her from the CBS show last month.

“I’ve been called so many things in my life, I’m so used to being called names, but being a racist is something I will not take,” Osbourne said to great applause in the very hip seat in the studio. filmed earlier Friday. “I’m doing well, I’m doing well because I said I’m a fighter, I’m doing well,” Osbourne continued, perhaps playing the populist card a little too hard.

“It’s not fair because it’s not about racism,” she added. “Maybe it’s about the fact that you did not know that day what was correct and woke up to your language, because it changes from day to day,” Osbourne went on to dig into a whimper about Robin DiAngelo’s bestseller in 2018. White fragility in the process too.
“The idea here is that you have two choices when you’re white, whether you’re a racist or a racist and you do not know,” Maher eagerly jumps in with his best Tucker Carlson impression, or not. In fact, Maher’s binary analysis finally took the oxygen out of the studio, because even the usually eager audience groaned.
Later on the Osbourne-less panel section of Real time, Maher continued in the same bad vein when he killed the policeman on 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 20-year-old Daunte Wright earlier this week. “There is absolutely no excuse for what happened to these people when they were shot … but that is also good advice: do not resist,” Maher said. “It just never ends well, it’s not the place to take your stand.”
In her first interview since joining The talk amid a cloud of controversial remarks about race and a defense of girlfriend Piers Morgan’s big mockery of Meghan Markle’s royal revelations to Oprah on March 7, the one-time rock’n’roll manager may say she’s fine, but she has definitely kicked up a lot of dust tonight on HBO’s Real Time – and the premium cable host was definitely in her corner.
With the conclusion of an investigation into the heated debate on March 10 over the race between Osbourne and co-host Sheryl Underwood, CBS announced on March 26 that the former, the last of The talk‘s original co-host, decided to leave the program after 11 seasons. While the daytime drama revolves around the often indiscriminate Osbourne and The talk suddenly interrupted, the Ozzfest founder alternated an apology tweet and digging into her heels in arson interviews with people like Entertainment tonight. The latter burned many bridges and goodwill at CBS, sources told Deadline at the time.
Since he jumped or was pushed The talk, Osbourne, who is backed by CAA, despite the stories about him being a great lawyer and paying in a lot of money, the former America’s Got Talent judge has been posting on innocent social media until tonight.
Shadow on ‘awake language’, knock down the Duchess of Sussex, and miss the point widely with statements like ‘unless you agree with every colored person, then you are. racist, ”Osbourne and Maher had a mutual circle of admiration while completely missing the real partner.
In fact, in their bubbling outrage of ‘all this drama’, to quote Maher about what Osbourne said and her support for canned food Good morning Britain presenter Morgan, the duo had only one point of slight disagreement tonight. The rift took place when Maher revealed that there may be some truth in the allegation of Prince Harry’s white privilege ‘Prince Harry’ of racist treatment by their fellow royals. “The old bag is a hundred,” Maher said of Osbourne’s bitter resentment of Queen Elizabeth II.
On the eve of the funeral of Prince Prince Phillip, Maher and Osbourne agreed that the scandal that befell the British royals was ‘cold for all’, and that the two-race Markle was no exception. Well.
The intransigent Osbourne certainly expected a sympathetic clash from Maher, a hot chance for any performance after her recent time in the spotlight. The once self-described libertarian host has had a fair share of controversy over the years, many of which were self-created and sometimes self-sufficient, such as Osbourne.
After seeing advertisers abandon his ABC program Politically wrong In 2001, after refuting George W. Bush’s claim that the 9/11 cowards were cowards, Maher was more recently in burning water for commenting on slavery and the use of the N-word in his HBO program.
Emmy winner Maher was not brought to the fore by the now AT&T outlet in 2017 after his grim remarks. However, HBO calls the comments ‘inexcusable and tasteless’ and draws the segment in which the comments appear from any future version of the program. Maher himself later issued a statement saying he was “very sorry” about the use of the breed.
The interview with Osbourne followed Maher’s monologue praising Joe Biden for kicking a hole and revealing this week his intention to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan after two decades of the front on the war on terror.
