What This Comedian Said Will Shock You
The hilarious and controversial host of HBOās Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book everāa brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.
Some of the smartest commentary about whatās happening in America is coming from a comedianāthis comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand whatās wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.
The book was inspired by the āeditorialā Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and whatās happening in the world. To put this book together, Maher reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them, and adding new material to speak exactly to the moment weāre in. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, healthāMaher 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.
