"Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher," one of television's most provocative and humorous shows, places Maher at the center of a wildly diverse group of four panelists from the worlds of politics, media, music and entertainment who, through heated debate instigated by Maher, puncture both the liberal and conservative views about the hottest issues of the day.

Each evening, Maher brings together an unlikely group of guests -- from senators to drag queens, actors to rock stars, authors to activists -- to discuss the day's burning issues, such as "Is the National Enquirer always right?," "Can a person be justifiably fired for being too beautiful?," and "Is Clinton the Democrats' Reagan?"

Called the "Best Talk Show on Television" by TV Guide, "Politically Incorrect" is the winner of four CableACE Awards for Best Entertainment Host and Best Talk Show and has been nominated for nine Emmy Awards. Maher ingeniously mediates a hilarious and provocative half-hour of spontaneous opinionizing, bringing together such unlikely pairings as Jerry Seinfeld and Ed Rollins, Larry Flynt and Debbie Gibson, Governor Lowell Weicker and Howie Mandel, and Harvey Fierstein and G. Gordon Liddy.

Some of the program's past guests include Oliver Stone, Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld, Laura Dern, Ted Danson, Alec Baldwin, Vanessa Redgrave, Jay Leno, Sarah Jessica Parker, George Stephanopoulos, Garry Shandling, Bobcat Goldthwait, Barry White, Patty Hearst, Kelsey Grammer, John Gray, Dean Koontz, Sam Donaldson, Quentin Tarantino, Melissa Etheridge and George Clooney.

Since its ABC premiere in January, 1997, following Ted Koppel on "Nightline" (12:05-12:35 a.m., on WCHS-TV8), "Politically Incorrect" has enjoyed very strong ratings, proving itself a solid performer and competitor among late-night programs.

"Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher" was created by Bill Maher. Executive producers are Bill Maher, Scott Carter, Nancy Geller, Brad Grey, Bernie Brillstein and Marc Gurvitz. The program, which premiered on ABC on January 6, 1997, originates from Los Angeles and is produced by Brillstein Grey Entertainment and HBO Downtown Productions, in association with Buena Vista Television.
