Bill Maher wants to bring Milo Yiannopoulos back for another appearance on HBO’s “Real Time.”
Maher received criticism for inviting the controversial, alt-right commentator as a guest on the late-night talk show in February. Days after Yiannopoulos’ appearance, controversial remarks about pedophilia from a podcast forced Yiannopoulos to resign as editor from conservative media outlet Breitbart.
His appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference was also canceled and his book deal with publisher Simon & Schuster shelved.
In an interview with Esquire’s Stephen Rodrick, Maher revealed he wants to give Yiannopoulos a second chance.
“Now Maher says that he’d like to help rescue Yiannopoulos from his tumble out of the spotlight. ‘I actually want to have him back,’ Maher told me. ‘I don’t think he would be that hard to bring around to a much more reasonable position.'(Yiannopoulos says another appearance is in the works.),” Rodrick writes.
The interview was conducted before Maher came under fire for using a racial slur on “Real Time” last week.

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
