"What happened?" the host asked Hammer about the multiple women who accused him of sexual and physical abuse, as well as claims he expressed fantasies of cannibalism.

"You know, it's just one of those things," The Lone Ranger star said. "It's going to happen to everybody, just wait."

"That's true," Maher added. "I said 'I could get myself canceled in the next 10 minutes on this interview.'"
