I Hate Bill Maher Live (in LA)

I Hate Bill Maher Presents: The Samuel Langhorne Clemens Award for Excellence in Receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

After more than three decades in the entertainment industry, where he was soft cancelled for not being afraid to tell THE TRUTH™, Bill Maher is finally being given the kind of prestigious award he has been extremely vocal about deserving: The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. To truly celebrate this honor, I Hate Bill Maher: a Podcast About How I Hate Bill Maher is putting on a one night only special event to experience just what a wonderfully hilarious and insightful career Bill Maher has had. Comedians John Hastings, Emily Heller, and Pallavi Gunalan will join host Will Weldon to watch highlights from his long television career, read early coverage of his work, speculate on which of his fellow comics will be honoring Bill Maher at the ceremony, and perhaps even a special tribute to Bill Maher’s greatest contribution to our culture, New Rules.
