Bill Maher Draws Big Laughs With Selma Blair Jab While Discussing FAA Ground Stop

“Could be a hack from Iran. Could be a hack from AI itself. Could be Selma Blair,” the comedian quips on “Real Time” The post Bill Maher Draws Big Laughs With Selma Blair Jab While Discussing FAA Ground Stop appeared first on TheWrap .

During an episode of HBO's "Real Time" on Friday, comedian Bill Maher took a jab at actress Selma Blair while discussing the FAA's nationwide ground stop. Maher jokingly suggested that Blair could be the cause of the travel delay, sparking laughter and applause from the audience. The ground stop, a widespread halt in air traffic, left many wondering about its cause.

Maher expressed skepticism over the Trump administration's reassurance, joking that the culprit could be a hack from China, Iran, AI, or even Selma Blair. The comment referenced Blair's October arrest, stemming from an alleged assault on several people during and after a Delta Air Lines flight. She was later charged with second-degree assault and apologized for her actions, noting she never intended to harm anyone.
