With more than twenty years in television, Bill Maher has earned more than 38 Emmy nominations for his hit television shows and specials. He won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, "VICE." Maher's first creation, the late night talk show "Politically Incorrect" (Comedy Central, ABC-TV) ran from 1993 - 2002 and featured a round-table discussion of current events with four guests coming from pop culture, politics and news. For the past fourteen years, "Real Time with Bill Maher" has combined Maher's unflinching honesty and big laughs and featured many well-known guests, including President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kerry Washington, Michael Steele, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, Eva Longoria, Drew Barrymore and more.

Along with his two hit shows, Maher has also written five 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," and most recently, "The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass."

Maher's true passion is stand-up comedy, which he began in 1979 and helped launch his notable career. Along with his weekly television show, he still performs at least 50 shows a year in Las Vegas and in sold-out theaters across the country. Four of his 10 stand-up specials for HBO have been nominated for Emmys, including "Bill Maher: Live from D.C." in 2014, "I'm Swiss" in 2005, "The Decider" in 2007 and "Bill Maher...But I'm Not Wrong."
