For the last 18 years Bill Maher has redefined the boundaries of humorous and irreverent political talk on American television. First on Politically Incorrect and for the last seven years on HBO's Real Time, Maher's mixture of uncompromising honesty and big laughs have earned him 21 Emmy nominations. No subjects are off limits; whether it's a scathing commentary on politics, broad cultural criticisms or taking a swipe at organized religion, Maher has a gift for making light of some of the most taboo subjects imaginable.
