Bill Maher

Bill Maher navigates the late-night talk show circuit as a razor-sharp critic of American politics and culture, hosting HBO’s "Real Time" since 2003. A veteran of Comedy Central and ABC with his series "Politically Incorrect," Maher’s acerbic wit and unyielding satire have cemented his status as a provocateur. A vocal advocate for marijuana legalization and same-sex marriage, he also serves on the board of PETA and advises Project Reason, a foundation promoting secular values and scientific understanding. Ranked 38th on Comedy Central’s list of greatest stand-ups, Maher’s incisive commentary and comedic timing have earned him a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2010.
