What This Comedian Said Will Shock You

Bill Maher, the sharp and provocative host of Real Time with Bill Maher, delivers his funniest and most unapologetic book yet—a biting, hilarious look at American life, politics, and culture.

Drawn from over a decade of his show’s iconic closing editorials, Maher revises and expands his commentaries on topics like free speech, race, religion, cancel culture, politics, media, and modern relationships.

Smart, irreverent, and deeply insightful, this collection cements Maher’s place among great American satirists like Mark Twain and H. L. Mencken, offering a brutally honest and laugh-out-loud take on what’s gone wrong—and right—in America today.
