Bill Maher poked fun at his guest Jerry O'Connell on his podcast Monday after the actor revealed he attended a Kamala Harris rally during the 2024 election.
"Democrats really need to cut loose the celebrities. They're not helping," Maher said on his "Club Random" podcast, repeating one of his common refrains that outspoken liberal celebrities hurt the Democratic Party’s brand. "They don't strike people as normal [because] they're f---ing not. Democrats already have a problem with people thinking that they are not the common-sense crowd."
He went on to mock such celebrities, saying they "don't act like normal people" and then, as a result, "whatever they're saying just strikes everybody in America who's a normal person as, ‘Oh God, here's more of this stuff where you can't relate to a real life.’"

Bill Maher poked fun at his guest Jerry O'Connell on his podcast Monday.
"I went to a Kamala Harris rally. My wife and I donated to the campaign—," O'Connell revealed.
"Wow. Oof," Maher interjected.
O’Connell continued, "Megan Thee Stallion played and that was pretty f---ing epic, Bill, if you were there. I mean, it really invigorated like excitement, you know?"
"It really invigorated the people who are already going to vote for her anyway," Maher retorted. "That's who it invigorated."
