I wouldn't be so sure. I'm assuming Bill Maher has guests on from other networks. If both companies can work things out for good cross-promotion, they will. Now if this show was airing at 11:30pm on a weekday against Kimmel (it never would), I can see ABC saying no.
I doubt there would be much of a roadblock put up to get a guy on a podcast with a comparatively smaller audience than the show he works for.
