Maybe you’ve just found out the two were (not “are”) childhood friends. In a 2010 interview, Remnick described his connection to Maher like this:
DR: (laughs) You know Bill Maher and I grew up—he was a neighbor of the drummer of a rock band I was in; eventually it went by the name of Derek and the Dialectics—and during breaks in rehearsing in my friend’s basement, I played basketball in Bill’s driveway. Bill Maher’s father was, I think, a radio guy, a radio professional. We weren’t close at all. I see him every 10 years like clockwork. I hadn’t seen him in a long time.
Even if they are 69’ing as I type this, the idea that Maher is pulling the New Yorker’s strings seems like a stretch.
