Bill Maher is set to film his 13th comedy special for HBO – Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? – for premiere on the streamer in January.
The Real Time host will tape the special in front of a live audience at the CIBC Theater in Chicago, IL.
“I almost called this special ‘You Won’t Feel Safe’, because if you’re purely a team player in American politics, you won’t,” Maher said. “This one is for the 80% of Americans who want to see crazy called out no matter where it comes from. And the last twenty minutes on my sex life, that’s for everybody.”
Maher headlined his first special on HBO in 1989 and has starred in 12 solo specials for the network to date including, Bill Maher: Be More Cynical (2000), I’m Swiss (2005), Bill Maher … But I’m Not Wrong (2010), Bill Maher: Live from Oklahoma (2018), and his most recent, #Adulting (2022). His weekly HBO series, Real Time with Bill Maher, is currently in its landmark 22nd season. First on Politically Incorrect and for more than twenty years on Real Time, Maher has earned 41 Emmy nominations over the course of his career.
“Bill’s comedic commentary has been an extraordinary part of HBO for 12 specials and 22 seasons of ‘Real Time with Bill Maher,” said Nina Rosenstein, EVP, Late Night & Specials Programming. “We truly value his steadfast commitment to honesty and humor, which we know will be front and center in his next special.”
Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? is executive produced by Maher, Marc Gurvitz, Marcus Raboy, and Neal Marshall. Rhonda Freeson serves as producer.
