What This Comedian Said Will Shock You

Resumen del Editor

The hilarious and controversial host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book ever—a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s 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 “editorial” Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and what’s 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 we’re in. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health—Maher 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.

the eye-opening worldview inside

it appears he's not a believer in the higher power of the most high he mentioned about once

So Bill

I loved it. I be been a fan for years. I hate when he takes time off from his show. The book was an excellent pool of his thoughts and humor. It’ll be one that I’ll listen to over and over, just like I watch his reruns.

Fan

I think I’ve seen every show that has been available. I’m not sure
I think maybe 25+ years maybe more. I’m a very big fan of Bill Maher
It is always great more or less
But always good and to the point

Most entertaining thought provoking excellent read! Thanks Brother Bill!

It was very funny informative thought provoking. Bill does an excellent job of reading it. I do a lot of books and highly recommend this one!

Informative book

Bill as always presents logical, important ideas. It’s nice to have them all in one place.

Brutally honest and on point with humor

Out of the 298 Audible books I’ve listened too, I’ve never left a review. Bill nails every topic with insight and humor..his show IS fair and balanced. I never miss Real Time..this book literally makes me laugh out loud. Many of the topics are painful, but he is spot on! You will not be disappointed…buy or listen to this book.

Very Witty

An often funny book with a comedians grasp of religion. I'm left wondering what Maher believes in.

Outstanding message

I liked the honesty and truthful message that was delivered. He pointed out the sheer stupidity and ignorance in todays society

Common sense is what will unite us

We must learn to live together in spite of our differences and who better to point this out than Bill Maher.

Sometimes people are so open-minded…

Most of the time I agree with Bill’s take, but not always. Often a year or two later I find my way to his point of view. Bill’s take on wokeness, for example. And while I lost all respect for Kellyanne Conjob at “alternative facts” and can’t understand why he keeps having her on his show, I do appreciate that Bill routinely has conservatives on. 25 years ago a conservative friend of my parents and I were discussing something happening in San Francisco politics, I don’t remember what. His take? “Sometimes people are so open-minded their brains fall out.” That seems to gel with Bill’s critiques of the progressive left. Excellent well thought out essays, well performed. 5/5.
