From AI doomsday paranoia to Arnold’s grandpa art projects, Bill and Chris cover it all – California taxes, broken-thermostat politics, why movies predict the future, and how Pratt went from Parks and Rec’s lovable goof to full-fledged leading man. Along the way: quantum qubits, AI girlfriends, and the wild story of his door-to-door salesman days. Basically, it’s part bar chat, part TED Talk, part roast – served neat with a splash of peaty Scotch.

ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.”

Maher has written six bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
