Bill Maher has a new comedy special coming to HBO next year. Per Variety, Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? will premiere in January, marking Maher’s 13th stand-up comedy special for HBO.
Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? will be taped in front of a live audience at the CIBC Theater in Chicago, and apparently comes with a content warning. Said Maher: “I almost called this special ‘You Won’t Feel Safe’, because if you’re purely a team player in American politics, you won’t. This one is for the 80 percent of Americans who want to see crazy called out no matter where it comes from. And the last twenty minutes on my sex life, that’s for everybody.”
Maher released his first comedy special for HBO in 1989 and dropped his most recent special, #Adulting, in 2022. He has also hosted the HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher since 2003. HBO EVP of late night & specials programming Nina Rosenstein said in a statement: “Bill’s comedic commentary has been an extraordinary part of HBO for 12 specials and 22 seasons of Real Time with Bill Maher. We truly value his steadfast commitment to honesty and humor, which we know will be front and center in his next special.”
A new episode of Real Time with Bill Maher will air Friday at 10 p.m. EST on HBO, featuring actor and producer Michael Douglas, along with journalist John Heilemann and attorney Sarah Isgur.
