Zach Galifianakis Didn't Smoke Pot on Show, Bill Maher Says

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 2nd 2010 11:40AM

Bill Maher repeatedly reminds his audience that he loves him some marijuana, but according to the host, whatever Zach Galifiankis was smoking on 'Real Time' on Friday wasn't pot.

"If it was a real joint, Wolf, I would have smoked it ... I think it was cloves or something," Maher told Wolf Blitzer in a CNN interview. "Zach's crazy, he's not that crazy."

Maher's publicist also sent a statement to E! Online saying the joint was an unspecified "prop."

However, Margaret Hoover, who was a guest on the show Saturday night, said she thought the spliff smelled real.

"Sure smelled like the real thing...," Hoover speculated on Twitter.

Galifiankis hasn't confirmed or denied whether or not the joint was real.

Vulture took the the time to do some light analysis on whether or not the joint was real, and they're still convinced it was real even after Maher denied it.

That wasn't even a hog leg. That was just regulation size. He'd have had to finish it off to get off on one that small.

Did anyone even take the time to notice that he wasn't actually inhaling the smoke?

Right one pot head defending the other. a meeting of the minds you could not get one healthy brain between the two of them But what do you expect from cable rational people I don't think so.

Great to hear from an expert. You brain is more than likely fried plus you must have an IQ of 11 if you would put that crap into your body. I konw you will give me the medical use crap well we can settle that let us ask Patrick Swayze. You my friend are nothing but a low life half wit who believes he has a brain.

Lots of things smell like pot when burned - try alfalfa, and coltsfoot (indian's used it and many others) to name a couple. Try lighting up an herbal ciggy in a bar and see how many people around you start sniffin' and tryin' to get a "second hand" high off the smoke! ROFLMAO!!!

Hollywood Attitude. "I'll do what I want because I have the cash to bail myself out. They won't actually prosecute me." Show some responsibility, you A-hole. I am SICK of these Sheen/Lohan cretins.

that was definately real. from the way the smoke billowed behind him, to how the joint itself burned, there is no doubt in my mind that that was real marijuana. ive been smoking the stuff since i was 14, trust me

chicobombico...sorry but you are the half-wit if you think that just because people smoke, and like to smoke, pot that it kills brain cells - I know many very intelligent people who smoke herb and are still productive, fully-functioning members, of society...I'd also like to inform you that fallacy about marijuana killing brain cells has never been proven correct and alcohol has been proven to kill thousands of brain cells upon just a few drinks. Hmmm...so now which one would you prefer to do - something that impairs you and makes you see triple or something that relaxes you without intoxicating side effects (with the exception of the munchies)?

I was in the studio audience last Friday night when Galifiankis lit up. It absolutely was the real thing.
