Kucinich-Supporting Hecklers Interrupt Bill Maher On "The Tonight Show"

Just a week after making the boldest talk show appearance ever (third video down), Bill Maher found himself in another awkward position: this time at "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

While asking about Maher's opinion on the current crop of presidential contenders, Leno was interrupted Tuesday night by a Dennis Kucinich supporter, who yelled, "Let Dennis debate! Stop censorship! Help save democracy!" (Dennis was shut out from MSNBC's debate last night in Las Vegas).

Then, after a commercial break, Maher was interrupted by a separate audience member, shouting a more ambiguous message: "GE, NBC, Put Impeachment on TV!". Too bad he didn't handle the nuisance like he did on his own show.

Check out the clip from "The Tonight Show" below:

Maher is a hypocrite. Just like the editors here at HuffPost.

Scab, sellout or scumbag? Which one you choose is fine with me. These phoney talk shows are for the people that don't want to wake up.
Jay Leno?...HA! HA! HA!...Another Johnny Carson wanabee...Another Facist lover...(Voted for Nazi Bush, twice.)
That's why I find other sources to amuse me. Such as the Internet.

Leno has his head up the ass of any and all Republican candidates and Maher plays hunt and poke with "Adams Apple" Anne Coulter.

Everyone should just shut the Hell up and be polite. Manners matter !

The Kucinich and Ron Paul supporters speak to the level of discontent in our country - we are experiencing another American Revolution - fostered by the current administration.

Moonbats unite for Kuch and writers strike?

...and still, life goes on.

I love Bill Maher!!!

[CornBred]

MSNBC/NBC/GE have brought upon themselves a world of hurt in not letting Dennis Kucinich into that debate last night.

[SouthpawSass]

My first thought was, "Geez Bill, who'd ya piss off this time?"

[kevinabt]

They're shocked and confused when actual people start talking. Then they pretend they couldn't understand what the people were saying... those two are pathetic.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I love how the Left destroys itself!!!

[Kungfublood]

Impeachment? Censorship? On TV?
What was that guy smoking? Democracy indeed!

[Fuji]

Progressives -- no class.

[Steambomb]

Well Maher and Leno did a great job of acting like they knew nothing about what the people were protesting. Now it begs the question would they have feigned such ignorance if they were not on the network that has a problem with support democracy?

[StanTheManic]

Leno is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Bill Maher is an effeminate, elitist little prick. Always has been, always will be. And the two of them are just a RIOT w/out writers.

[Utopia]

What get's lost in all this is that Kucinich has some good thoughts and ideas, but unfortunatly his followers who try to shine a spotlight on themselves while making broad baseless accusations tend to cast a dirty shadow ona basically good man.
