Bill Maher drags Ilhan Omar into Jensen Huang's affair roast with 'married my brother' jab
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair scandal gave Bill Maher plenty of material to work with on the Friday, November 13, episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher'.
Drawing parallels, the comedian brought Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar into the conversation, landing a particularly cutting joke about the controversy surrounding her marriage.
BILL MAHER’S ILHAN OMAR PUNCHLINE LEAVES LIBERAL AUDIENCE STUNNED Bill Maher opened his monologue with a joke about Jensen Huang — before pivoting to a brutal punchline aimed at Rep.

Bill Maher unleashes brutal jokes on Jensen Huang and Ilhan Omar
Maher opened the segment by suggesting that the Jensen Huang controversy was bigger than any other scandal to hit the Trump administration.
He brought up allegations surrounding the former Nvidia chief's personal life, including claims that he had been involved with Alice Huang, a woman suspected of having connections to Chinese intelligence.
The shared surname gave Maher an opening for a joke.
"His name is Huang, her name is Huang. The whole thing is wrong," Maher said. "The name thing is a coincidence, could happen to anybody."
He then pulled Ilhan Omar into the discussion, bringing up the long-running allegation about her former marriage.
“Ilhan Omar said, ‘Tell me about it. I accidentally married my brother,’” he joked, taking aim at the Democratic congresswoman.
Omar has repeatedly rejected claims that her former husband was her brother.
Maher was not done with Huang, however. He moved on to reports of another alleged relationship, this time involving Kimberly Powell, a senior Nvidia executive.
The comedian made a crude joke about the alleged affair, asking, “Because who wants Chinese every night?”
He then imagined the reaction of Huang's wife as details of the alleged relationships came out.
Maher joked that she had been left hurt and furious, using the former CEO's surname to describe her as having been “Huanged.”
He also pictured her discovering that the alleged affair with one woman was not the only revelation, joking about the former Nvidia CEO's trademark black leather jackets being thrown out onto the front lawn.
Maher saved another jab for the end of the segment.
He brought up reports of a third alleged mistress, suggesting that the list of women linked to Huang was still growing.
He wrapped up the sequence with a line about Nvidia's chips being everywhere, joking that Huang's alleged romantic entanglements seemed to be multiplying just as quickly.
OH MY: Bill Maher is NOT holding back on ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, taking SWIPE after SWIPE at his affairs: “Jensen Huang has resigned because it came out that he was also having an affair with an executive at his company, a white woman named Kimberly Powell, because who wants Chinese every night?” “And now, Huang’s wife is wounded. She's pissed, she was Huang’d, she's wounded and she was like, one woman was bad enough when she heard about this other woman, all the black leather jackets out on the front lawn.” “Then, a day later, we find out there's a third mistress. You thought his chips were in everything.”

Jensen Huang's scandal gets messier
The jokes came as Huang faced growing attention over reports about his personal life.
On November 12, Nvidia's board accepted his resignation as president and CEO, appointing finance chief Colette Kress as interim chief executive while it searches for a permanent replacement.
The decision followed reports about his alleged relationships with Alice Huang and Kimberly Powell.
However, claims that Alice Huang had links to Chinese intelligence have not been established.
Huang had addressed the infidelity claims in a statement on November 8, acknowledging that he had been unfaithful without naming the women involved.
Subsequent reports brought another alleged relationship with an Nvidia employee into the picture, adding to the questions surrounding his departure from the company.
Omar, meanwhile, has faced the allegation Maher brought up for years.
Claims that she married her brother have followed the congresswoman since her early political career, but she has denied them.
