Refusing to bend to any doctrine but his own during three decades on television, Bill Maher has skewered everyone from Joe Biden to Donald Trump to “the twitter mob,” derided religion and lampooned the posturing of liberal celebrities.
And with each year, he becomes more unapologetically unapologetic. “Simply acknowledging reality,” he insists, “is now seen as a profile in courage.”
The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center proudly welcomes the acerbic host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher upon the publication of his new book, What This Comedian Said Will Shock You, to speak about free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, election 2024, the Ivy League, cancel culture and the elevation of sensitivity over truth.
In conversation with comedian, actor, writer and cohost of The View, Joy Behar.
