Summary

Larry is joined by comedian Bill Maher in front of a live audience at Live Talks L.A. to discuss his new book “What This Comedian Said Will Shock You”. They begin by shining a light on how Bill compiled his favorite editorials from ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ for the book and contrasting the focus of the hit HBO series with the celebrity formatted vibes of his previous show ‘Politically Incorrect’. This leads to a conversation about the difficulties of staying true to your artistic principles in modern culture and how to deal with the specter of white guilt in the internet age (9:01). They then pivot to the presidential race between Biden and Trump, and analyze the prevalence of self-imposed ignorance in both the two major political parties and society at large (33:29). After the break, Larry and Bill answer hot-button questions from some of the event attendees (52:45). Host: Larry Wilmore Guest: Bill Maher Producer: Chris Sutton Learn more about your ad choices.
