“The merger went through. Paramount now owns Warner Discovery, which owns HBO, which owns my ass,” Maher said during his opening monologue. “Whoever owns me now, don’t believe what Trump is tweeting about me. Did you see what he said about me this weekend? He said my ratings are so low, ‘it’s just sad.’”
Maher then responded directly to Trump’s remarks about his ratings, saying that the comments did not bother him. “You know what, Mr. President? Your insults don’t bother me. Make up whatever shit you want about me, just don’t mention I went to Cornell,” he said.

CEO David Ellison said on Friday that the combined company will be known as Skydance, while Paramount and Warner Bros will continue to keep their individual identities, according to Deadline. (ANI)
