Bill Maher’s Jab About Ariana Grande’s Weight Leads to ‘Real Time’ Studio Audience Groans

Logo text Even Bill Maher‘s Real Time studio audience wasn’t big fans of his recent joke about Ariana Grande‘s weight. During Friday’s episode of the HBO program, the host and comedian said during his opening monologue, “I hope the aliens are here, I do. I hope they’re here and watching us and they’re going to save us. And, by the way, the administration this week, just a few days ago, maybe yesterday, unleashed a new trove of UFO files.” Maher continued, “Interesting things in there. Triangular craft, weird lights over an army base, a stick-like figure with large eyes. Oh, that was just an Ariana Grande video.” While his audience laughed at his first joke about the Grammy winner, it was Maher’s next jab that didn’t land well. “Please, we kid. We kid. Maybe that joke will make her eat something,” he quipped, drawing loud groans from the crowd. The White House released a new wave of UFO files. Sightings include a triangular craft in the sky, high-speed orbs near an army base, and a stick-like figure with large eyes, but that was just Ariana Grande. pic.twitter.com/buBBGk2Ze4 — Bill Maher (@billmaher) August 8, 2026 This wasn’t the first time

That’s where the journey began about two

Why Warner Records Is Reinvigorating Reprise: ‘Artists Should Be Free to Be Exactly Who They Are’

Trending on Billboard The music industry loves its history. The business is full of iconic names with decades of history: Columbia, Capitol, Atlantic, RCA, Warner and Island are all labels with venerable pasts and formidable presents, many of which are also associated with powerful and lauded founders and executives through the years. In the past year alone, several iconic imprints of the past have been revived such as Jive and Uptown, while the Virgin Music and Mercury Records brands have been relaunched to great success within the past half decade, to name a few.
