Comedian Bill Maher criticized 'Saturday Night Live' for not addressing the #MeToo accusations against Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. Maher made his comments during an appearance on the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade.
Bill Maher appeared on an episode of the 'Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade' podcast on Wednesday, where the three comedians discussed the media's lack of coverage surrounding Doug Emhoff 's #MeToo accusations and 'Saturday Night Live' ignoring them completely. The podcasters welcomed Maher and recounted the SNL skit last month where Spade returned to the show to play Hunter Biden, while Carvey portrayed his old character 'Church Lady.
' Spade expressed surprise that the troubled son of the president hadn't been lampooned before. Spade said he 'was always curious as to why they never had anyone play Hunter Biden. It was just sort of ripe for the pickings,' adding, 'I thought of maybe a hot-tub talk show with guests and girls.' Maher then shifted the conversation to other missed opportunities by SNL, asking 'How about, why didn’t they make fun of Kamala’s husband when he got 'me-too’d'?, adding that 'it is amazing the way this country is so partisan, including in the media and the entertainment parts of it, that when something happens for your team that’s bad, it’s like, you know, the angel of death just flying over the house on Passover. Like, ‘we don’t see a thing here.’ Because, you know, Doug Emhoff was credibly accused of things that others have been accused of.' Spade followed up by noting, 'Yeah, and that wasn’t plastered everywhere.' Maher criticized SNL for having Andy Sandberg portray Emhoff as a 'funny kind-of dorky Doug' when the allegations against him were 'as credible as many other accusations I've heard.' A report emerged during the presidential campaign that Emhoff had once slapped his ex-girlfriend in 2012, which a spokesperson denied. The second gentleman also admitted that he had an affair during his first marriage
