Bill Maher Spills The Tea On His Pre-Show Rituals And Dating Life

Bill Maher's Bold Confession

Bill Maher, the outspoken comedian and host, recently confirmed a long-standing rumor about his pre-show rituals. During a candid chat with Cheryl Hines on his podcast "Club Random," Maher divulged that he used to engage in some NSFW activities before taping his late-night talk show, "Politically Incorrect." The revelation came during an episode aired on Monday, November 10, where Maher addressed a past report by Entertainment Weekly, which highlighted his unconventional pre-filming routine during the show's run between 1993 and 2002.

“They said that I m-------- before the show in the dressing room," Maher recalled, admitting, "because I did.”

Maher humorously recounted an incident involving a forgotten bottle of Jergens, which led to a chuckle-filled exchange with Hines. "One time I forgot to remove the Jergens from the toilet area," Maher shared, prompting Hines to remark on the reasonableness of his bathroom choice.

A 90s Wild Ride

The 'Real Time' host, now 69, noted that his late-night antics were a result of his fast-paced lifestyle during the 90s. "Here’s the thing. This is the 90s. We taped every day, or three days a week," Maher explained, reflecting on his hectic schedule and nightlife escapades. His pre-show habit, he insists, was a solution to his sleeplessness, providing a quick nap before hitting the stage. Despite the taboo nature of the confession, Hines appeared unfazed by Maher's past behavior.

Rumored Romance Hits the Headlines

Maher's surprising revelations about his past come on the heels of recent rumors linking him romantically with Noor Alfallah, Al Pacino's former partner. The two were spotted leaving a Halloween party together in West Hollywood on October 31, igniting speculation about a potential romance. However, Alfallah, 31, promptly quashed the rumors by clarifying to TMZ that they are just friends. "He’s great, though, but we’re just friends," she assured the outlet.

Age-Defying Dating Preferences

Adding another layer to his compelling personality, Maher has openly addressed his dating preferences in the past, admitting a tendency to date younger. Last year, he openly declared that he is 'not looking' for a traditional girlfriend, embracing his unique approach to relationships.
