Former “Jackass” star Steve-O claims he turned down an appearance on Bill Maher’s podcast because the host refused to refrain from smoking marijuana in front of him.
The 49-year-old reality star, whose real name is Stephen Glover, went through a very public battle with addiction and says he’s been sober for 16 years. Glover told guest Patrick Bet-David on a recent episode of his podcast, “Wild Ride,” that drugs were the reason he didn’t appear on Maher’s “Club Random.”
“For me, I’m a clean and sober guy. It’s very important that I maintain my sobriety,” Steve-O said, per Entertainment Weekly. “It’s approaching 16 years. I am about to be sweet 16. Really, there’s nothing that I value more than my sobriety. There’s nothing more that I protect than my recovery. And I found it kind of upsetting when the Bill Maher podcast, which I saw you on, reached out.”
“His thing is, he smokes pot the whole time while he interviews people. I said I’d happily go on there, but while I’m on, out of respect for my sobriety, could he refrain from smoking pot. He said no. That’s a deal breaker,” the reality star added.
Glover said he’s never encountered this issue before as a podcast guest.

“Mike Tyson’s podcast is called ‘Hotboxin,’” Steve-O added. “Be real! All of these prolific potheads, I’ve been on their shows and it wasn’t so important to them to blow marijuana smoke in my face. But for Bill Maher, it was a deal breaker.”
The outlet reported that Maher usually smokes marijuana during “Club Random” interviews but did not during a recent discussion with Sheryl Crow that aired on March 24.
While discussing the Israel-Hamas war, Maher said, “That’s when I need a joint, but I will never light one up,” he said. “But can I hold one?”
Crow replied, “If I weren’t singing tomorrow, I’d say light that bad boy up right now.”
“I’ve never not,” Maher said. “But for you? First of all, I would do this standing on my head, but it is a little like running a marathon for the first time.”
