By Editor • August 29, 2026 • 1 min read
In his recent episode of HBO's "Real Time," Bill Maher attempted to honor the late Dolly Parton, who passed away at 80 following a brief cancer battle. However, his tribute missed the mark, leaving many viewers unimpressed.
Maher noted, "All America could really talk about this week was how sad it is that we lost Dolly Parton," referencing tributes including the Empire State Building lit in pink and the Santa Monica Ferris wheel adorned with hearts. Despite his comedic intent, the segment received criticism for lacking sincerity.
