Bill Maher Ends Two-Decade Relationship with CAA Over Oscars Party Snub

The move comes after Maher was excluded from Bryan Lourd's star-studded Oscars event, despite recent HBO renewal.

Bill Maher has terminated his relationship with CAA, his representation for over two decades, due to not being invited to an Oscars party hosted by Bryan Lourd.
The party, attended by Vice President Kamala Harris and numerous A-list celebrities, was held at Lourd's home on the eve of the Academy Awards.
Maher's decision to leave CAA follows the recent renewal of his show, 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' by HBO for two more seasons, extending through 2026.
In the past, Maher has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting President Joe Biden should choose a different running mate for the 2024 election.
Despite attending other Oscar-related events, including the Vanity Fair party, Maher was notably absent from Lourd's gathering.
