The host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest and most opinionated book ever—a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.
Bill Maher has hosted Real Time on HBO for the last twenty-one years. Before that Maher created and hosted Politically Incorrect on ABC. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
“Whether you agree or disagree with him—and I do both—Bill Maher had proven himself to be an illuminating force in a world that values heat over light. His is a vital voice, keeping the left honest and calling the right to account for itself before the bar of reason and of decency. I’d say ‘thank God for Bill,’ but he doesn’t believe in God. So I’ll just say thanks.”—Jon Meacham
In What This Comedian Said Will Shock You, Maher has collected and revised a decade of his direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics and what’s happening in the world.
Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health—Maher covers it all. The result is a hugely entertaining work of commentary about American culture in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and H. L. Mencken.
Larry Wilmore has been a television producer, actor, comedian, and writer for more than 25 years. He can currently be heard as host of Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air on The Ringer Podcast Network. The show features Wilmore’s unique mix of humor and wit as he weighs in on the issues of the week and interviews guests in the worlds of politics, entertainment, culture, sports, and beyond. Filmo and TV credit include: Jerry and Margo Go Large, alongside Bryan Cranston and Annette Benning on Paramount+; Reasonable Doubt for Hulu’s Onyx Collective; Amend: The Fight for America on Netflix; The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore on Comedy Central; Insecure on HBO; Black-ish on ABC; The Daily Show with Jon Stewart; In Living Color, The Office and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He also served as creator, writer, and executive producer of The Bernie Mac Show, which earned him a 2002 Emmy Award for “Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series” and a 2001 Peabody Award.

Rural democrat here. Just a cautionary note about guns. Had a trespasser at 4:00 AM outside my front door, inside my truck going through the glove box. Confronted him but he wouldn't leave. Called 911and got the sheriff and it took them 20 minutes to arrive. I was sitting in my front hallway for that 20 minutes with my 357 just in case. When you need it, you need it now. The cavalry can take time to get there. When they arrived they did an unaggressive sane resolution. We need realistic gun laws to filter out the crazies and mental health and economic solutions for others. Keep in mind that the constabulary will arrive after the fact. It can happen to you. Hopefully not.

Remember the redcoats crying "Obamas going to bring in the national guard to your city and take your guns?"😂😂😂

As always Bill Maher speaks the truth and gives it to you straight.
-
I love Bill. We need more people just telling both right and left people how it is. Be smart, talk to each other. Ffs.
-
Whoever did the sound on this should lose their job(s)!
-
Man, you can see why Larry’s show got cancelled.
-
Maher is sb. I always liked but he is soooo much more fun to listen to without the clapping seals!
-
Bill Mher is an Old Fogey His human experience is both limited and calcified. Never stretched to trying compassion.

Being anti gun is not just a leftist issue. He so often does this. And its just lazy and dishonest. Very much like taking some outakes from his shows, printing them out and presenting them as essays and putting them together and selling them as a book.

Most industrialist societies would disagree with the U.S. not having any gun control. PM John Howard in Australia enacted strict background checks and gun control after the Port Arthur mass shooting. The result was an end to mass shootings and a steep decline in gun deaths and injuries. 1/8/11 Survivor

Bill doing a documentary about the religious influence on politics from the beginning would be genius.
-
If the amount of guns isn’t the problem, how come in the country I live in (Holland) where people aren’t allowed to own guns there aren’t any mass shootings?
-
Bill looks so different without the favourable lighting and make-up!
-
Larry added 0 value with his lame interjections
-
Politics IS the new religion. And like all religions, it's in your best interest to be a political atheist.
-
Any time you see a red hat and/or the acronym "tds" bandied about, you instantly know you're dealing with someone who's had their brain washed so thoroughly, it squeaks.😅

I enjoy watching Bill navigate his opinions on the fly without 27 writers..

That droopy the dog impression killed!! Love it!
