Bill Maher told Jane Fonda he may “quit” his Real Time show because he does not want the hassle of covering another term from President-elect Donald Trump.

“I’m shitting my pants. I mean, I may quit because I don’t want to do another,” Maher said on a Sunday episode of his Club Random podcast. “I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I said he was a con man before anyone else; I called him a mafia boss.”

Maher claimed Trump is “hostile” to him and bemoaned becoming a target of the president on social media again.

“I’m bored with it,” the comedian said.

“So find a new thing to do and not do Trump. Do something else,” Fonda said.

“The show is the politics, there’s no other thing, and he’s going to dominate the news like he always does,” Maher said.

The Real Time host said earlier this year he was contemplating ending his standup career too.

“I could go back. I don’t want to make a big announcement or something. I’m doing a special at the end of the year. It’ll be my 13th for HBO. That’s a lot,” he said.

Maher and Fonda had multiple tense moments during their interview, including in California. Fonda pushed back at Maher, dismissing the state as “extreme leftist,” claiming there are far too many regulations and taxes on residents, especially homeowners.

“You’ve never heard that California is over-taxed and over-regulated? That we are a one-party state where there’s no checks on extreme leftism?” Maher said.

“I don’t for a minute consider California a state that is extreme leftist. Not at all. Not in any way,” Fonda said.
