Bill Maher will not receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor this year, a decision influenced by the White House, according to reports. Although Maher was offered the award, the Trump administration reportedly intervened to prevent it. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the decision, labeling it as “fake news.” The Mark Twain Prize, awarded since 1998, has had notable recipients like Conan O’Brien and Jon Stewart. Maher and Trump have a contentious relationship, highlighted by a recent dinner invitation. Maher plans to address this topic on his HBO show tonight.
