Talk show host Bill Maher revealed on Monday that he will appear in a documentary about slain conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.As comedian Jeff Dunham spoke to Maher on "Club Random," he praised his past interview with Kirk as particularly memorable.Kirk, known for engaging in debate with people across the political spectrum, was assassinated during a campus event last September.Dunham praised the interview, and Maher likewise said that he enjoyed hosting it very much."By the way they're doing a documentary and they asked if I would be in it," Maher announced.
"I said yes.I'm giving them five minutes after my taping Friday night because - and I told them, ‘Don't expect me to be just saying you know, hagiography about Charlie.’ I liked him as a person.
I'm glad I talked to him."MAHER PRAISES CONSERVATIVES LIKE KIRK FOR PROMOTING DIALOGUE, CONDEMNS FAR LEFT FOR CELEBRATING HIS DEATHBill Maher has frequently blasted his fellow Democrats for being unwilling to talk to their opposition, including more moderate Democrats like himself.(Taylor Hill/FilmMagic)While Kirk’s death caused some of his critics to emerge and dredge up his more controversial or pointed political statements, Maher said they ultimately did not make him a "monster" by any means."I do not think he was a monster," he said.

But even when I read the full statement, which were accurately characterized, I still disagreed with them.But it wasn't what they presented."MAHER SHAMES CLINTONS, KAMALA, DEMS, SAYING THEY WONT GO ON HIS SHOW OR ANYWHERE THEY AREN'T 'PRE-ADORED'Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, slain last September, is still frequently discussed as something of a martyr for the cause of free dialogue between people of opposing views.
