Politically Incorrect

Politically Incorrect was a late-night political talk show hosted by Bill Maher first on Comedy Central and later on ABC, which cancelled it in 2002. Maher would interview four guests simultaneously who sat around him in front of a studio audience. The show was pioneering in mixing politicians and entertainers. For example, a politician might be seated next to an actor, and a pundit might be seated next to a comedian. Maher tried to air all points of view, especially controversial ones. The demise of the show came after Maher made some 'politically incorrect' comments about the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. Advertisers and sponsors pulled out and essentially brought on the cancellation of the show. \nCategory:ABC network shows
