May 28 - 8 p.m. (Saturday)For the last 17 years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television. First on Politically Incorrect (Comedy Central, ABC, 1992-2002), and for the last seven years on HBO's Real Time, Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 22 Emmy nominations. In recent years, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous, the 7th highest grossing documentary ever. In addition to his popular TV series, best-selling books, HBO stand-up comedy specials and concert appearances, Maher is a frequent guest on MSNBC, CNN and late night talk shows hosted by Jay Leno and David Letterman.
