'Malignant' Bill Maher Trolled in Eyebrow-Raising Hack [View all]

‘Malignant’ Bill Maher Trolled in Eyebrow-Raising Hack
A glitched TV listing delivered a brutal takedown of the HBO host.

A bizarre TV guide “hack” has left Bill Maher on the receiving end of a savage—and very public—trolling.

Viewers tuning into Saturday’s CNN re-run of Real Time With Bill Maher were met with a jaw-dropping show description.

Three malignant narcissists walk into a television studio; one tosses easy questions at the other two, who are at a loss to provide coherent answers, and at times sit there mute and dumbstruck, looking uncomfortable,” it read.

The rogue blurb, spotted across DirecTV, Cox, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, and other listings, quickly made the rounds online, with some asking if the show description was the result of a hack.
