Chapters

Bill Maher discusses his long-standing career in political comedy, starting from his early days hosting 'Politically Incorrect' to his current show 'Real Time with Bill Maher'.

Shownotes Transcript

When it comes to political comedy, Bill Maher is practically an institution — he’s been hosting a late-night political talk show since 1993 (with a brief hiatus in 2002-03, after Politically Incorrect was  canceled following a 9/11 comment). And now the host of *Real Time with Bill Maher *has a new book out: What This Comedian Said Will Shock You. Kara sat with Bill in his “den of iniquity” to discuss his childhood, politics, the war in Gaza, and, of course, cancel culture.
