⁘Real Time⁘ host Bill Maher took a moment during a podcast interview with John Stamos on Monday to pitch himself as the next star of ⁘The Golden Bachelor.⁘ The catch? He wants his season to do away with all the ⁘age-appropriate bulls—t.⁘
Maher explained he would want his season of ⁘The Golden Bachelor⁘ to feature younger women he would ⁘actually⁘ date. ⁘That's a funny show,⁘ the ⁘Real Time⁘ comedian said. ⁘That's a great f—king show.⁘ His request, of course, flies in the face of the basic premise of ⁘The Golden Bachelor,⁘ which has aimed across its first two seasons to pair up a senior-aged man with an similarly aged woman.
⁘The Golden Bachelor⁘ did become the subject of some controversy earlier this year when its Season 2 star, 66-year-old retired NFL player Mel Owens, revealed on a podcast ahead of his season's premiere that he told producers he was not interested in women ⁘60 or over.⁘ Owens joked during his appearance on the ⁘In the Trenches⁘ podcast, ⁘I told them to try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs.⁘
Owens' comments generated swift outrage and prompted him to later walk them back and admit that he had been ⁘unfair⁘ and ⁘insensitive.⁘ The ⁘Golden Bachelor⁘ Season 2 finale, which premiered on Nov. 12, ultimately saw Owens offer a promise ring to 62-year-old contestant Peg Munson.
