12 Surprising Facts About Bill Maher

You may be a fan of his HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher, or perhaps you just can’t get enough of his stand-up comedy act. Bill Maher has gone from discussing the news to being at the center of many hot topics. He’s good at pushing buttons, ruffling feathers, and his style of humor is something you’ll either love or detest. But behind the wisecrack act, there’s much more to Maher that you probably never knew.

1. The One Thing He’s Passionate About

Maher has an intense love for dogs and he has more than a few of them as pets in his Beverly Hills homes. When it comes to training his dogs, you won’t ever see Maher reaching out to the dog whisperer, Cesar Millan. In an interview, Maher stated he doesn’t believe in training his dogs because it makes his pets “lose their humor.”

His love for his furry friends runs even deeper than most are aware of. Since 1997, the comedian has served on the board of PETA, and he also supports other animal organizations, including the Best Friends Animal Society and Farm Animal Rights Movement.
