"Jimmy Kimmel, you know, he's very mad at me and I know you're close to him. I hope you tell that, you know, I'm sorry that, you know, it got bent out of shape. I don't think I did anything wrong. We can have disagreements. I mean, you and I don't agree on everything, look at this clash now, and yet we're cool. Like, the Republicans are always this sort of difference between the right and the left. It bugs me so much."
"My tribe is supposed to be the left, but these are the people who just can't talk to you unless you're exactly there, whereas the Republicans, they always f*cking come to my show. John Kennedy from Louisiana was on last week, took his beating like a man, like they all do, and we came across lovingly and smilingly and happily and we can disagree."
Bill Maher has a strained relationship with Jimmy Kimmel following Maher's public criticism of Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney. Maher said the situation "got bent out of shape" but maintained he did nothing wrong and defended the value of disagreement. Maher contrasted perceived intolerance on the left with Republicans' willingness to appear on his show, citing Senator John Kennedy's recent appearance. Adam Carolla defended Kimmel's character and urged unity among close colleagues. Maher expressed frustration that the disagreement may prevent further communication between him and Kimmel.
