On a tech-heavy and politically charged episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, comedian Whitney Cummings brought her signature wit to a wild conversation about AI, parenting, and sex robots.
🎙️ Whitney Cummings’ Robot Revelation
Cummings didn’t waste time making headlines. When Maher mentioned his obsession with robots, she dropped a bomb:
“I have a sex robot. I’ll give it to you for a steal.”
The twist? It’s modeled after herself — and it helped raise her child.
“My robot breastfed the baby. There’s already microplastics in breast milk — I figured it’s probably safer.”
She also joked about the downside: “You age and they don’t.” The moment blended tech commentary with deadpan comedy — classic Cummings.
🧠 Maher on Musk, Trump & Artificial Etiquette
The episode opened with Maher comparing the Musk-Trump feud to:
“Godzilla vs. King Kong… if Godzilla was on ketamine and King Kong had a comb-over.”
Maher mocked Elon Musk’s flirtation with launching a new political party and took aim at his drug use. “The convention does sound like a blast,” he quipped.
As AI became the night’s theme, Maher admitted he’s started treating his smart car with awkward politeness.
“I used to swear at my car. Now? I treat it very politely. That’s sick.”
🔥 Politics: Rightward Shifts & Liberal Rogan
Cummings addressed a recent New York profile suggesting she’d become more conservative. While she pushed back, she admitted motherhood had changed her perspective — at least enough to joke about hunting coyotes.
The final segment dug into Maher’s case for why Democrats shouldn't seek a “liberal Joe Rogan,” but rather win back Rogan himself — and even Musk.
“I don’t think his mind is completely inflexible. His neck, yes, but not his mind.”
Maher argued that cultural alienation pushes tech elites and disaffected voters toward Trumpism.
“When you elect a bull to run through the china shop, sometimes the china that gets broken is you.”
👥 Panel Reactions: Ruhle & Goldberg on AI & Economy
-
Stephanie Ruhle criticized Musk’s crypto ventures and cuts to public services.
-
Jonah Goldberg called out self-serving AI hype from tech CEOs and warned of employment risks.
All agreed AI needs serious guardrails, even if they disagreed on how disruptive it will be.
