Bill Maher says he's glad Norm Macdonald kept his cancer private

The Hollywood Reporter

Maher told Jimmy Kimmel he was not “judging anybody,” but he did not agree with stars who shared their health issues publicly. “Sometimes, the audience loves that. I’ve never been in that camp,” he said. “I am not here to burden you. I am here to lighten your burden. So the fact that I didn’t know about this, nobody knew about this — good one, Norm. He kept it to himself because he’s in show business. He’s here to make you happy.”
