Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” has tested positive for the coronavirus after receiving his coronavirus vaccine, Variety reports.
The 65-year-old Maher, who frequently rants on his show about how healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle stave off most diseases and how the America’s health issues can be largely eliminated if people just lost weight and ate healthier foods, was forced to cancel the live broadcast of his show, which had been filming before a live audience.
“Bill tested positive during weekly staff PCR testing for COVID. He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine,” HBO said. ” ‘Real Time’ production has taken every precaution following COVID CDC guidelines. No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time. The show will be rescheduled at a later date.”
