Bill Maher argues canceled stars like Louis CK, Kevin Spacey should be let out of 'show business jail'

Comedian Bill Maher defended his decision to invite embattled comic Louis C.K. to his recent Mark Twain Prize ceremony, declaring that canceled stars should not face a lifetime ban from the entertainment industry.

Speaking with NPR’s "Newsmakers" podcast, the host of HBO’s "Real Time" argued that the court of public opinion frequently ignores the rule of law. He pointed to his recent interviews with actors Kevin Spacey and Woody Allen, and insisted society needs to recognize when someone has done their time.
