Bill Maher
Host of "Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher"

Bill Maher, in 1993, created the perfect forum for his quick-witted, comedic talents -- "Politically Incorrect." On Comedy Central, Maher had brought together some of the most interesting politicians, entertainers and journalists to participate in some of the most controversial, topical and comical discussions. Winners of four CableACE Awards combined, Maher and his program have grown in popularity year to year, eventually catching the attention of ABC and capturing the post-"Nightline" time slot earlier last year.

Maher, inspired by the show's success, assembled some of "PI's" most memorable highlights in his book, "Does Anybody Have a Problem With That?, Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits." In it, Maher brings us his tongue-in-cheek commentaries on such modest proposals as putting warning labels on the Bible, why we should have drunk driving lanes, and his regular "Get Over Yourself Award," given to such notables as Newt Gingrich, Santa Claus and the O.J. Simpson defense team. He also offers a collection of some of the funniest and most insightful thoughts of "PI's" panelists, including Ben Affleck, Marilyn Manson, Ann Richards, Pamela Anderson Lee, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Arianna Huffington and Janeane Garofalo.

Additionally, Maher's credits include four HBO specials. He has made many appearances on Letterman and Leno as well as guesting as a correspondent for "The Tonight Show." Maher has also participated in the tours of a number of comics throughout the United States and starred in numerous sitcoms and feature films.

An English major graduate from Cornell University, Maher began his comedy career honing his act during the '80s on the New York club scene. He reflects upon this time in "True Story," a novelization of his club life and perhaps the funniest and most revealing depiction of the comic's life to date.

Maher was born in New York and raised in River Vale, New Jersey. He now resides in Los Angeles.
