Bill Maher gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star

LOS ANGELES — Political satirist Bill Maher has been immortalized in Hollywood.

With Larry King and “Family Guy” producer Seth MacFarlane standing nearby, HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” talk show host unveiled his Walk of Fame star Tuesday outside the W Hotel at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

Maher, who once hosted the late-night talk show “Politically Incorrect,” said he wanted to thank “George Bush, Sarah Palin and the pope.”

It was the 2,417th star dedicated on the famous sidewalk.
