As a long-time fan of Bill Maher’s biting wit and incisive commentary, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and melancholy at the news of his upcoming comedy special, “Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?” The man has been a staple in my weekly viewing schedule for decades now, and his unique blend of humor and political insight has always struck a chord with me.
Bill Maher has unveiled plans for his latest HBO comedy special to debut in January 2025.
Titled “Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?”, this upcoming special will be recorded live at the CIBC Theater in Chicago, and includes a content warning. As the host of Real Time With Bill Maher stated on Thursday, the special’s title could have been “You Won’t Feel Safe” since those who blindly follow American politics may find it uncomfortable. However, this show is intended for the 80% of Americans who desire to see irrationality challenged from all angles. Lastly, the final twenty minutes will focus on Maher’s personal life, which should appeal to everyone.
It remains undecided if Maher’s upcoming comedy special, marking his 13th for HBO, will be his final one. Back in May 2024, the comedian hinted that he might be retiring from stand-up comedy, suggesting this next HBO special could potentially be his last.
In one of my chats with the legendary Jerry Seinfeld on his Club Random podcast, I found myself feeling a bit jittery to share this, but here goes: “After this year, I’ve decided to hang up my stand-up comedian hat.
Nina Rosenstein, the executive vice president of late-night and specials programming, commended Bill Maher’s previous comedy specials. “Bill’s comedic insights have significantly contributed to HBO for 12 specials and 22 seasons of ‘Real Time with Bill Maher.’ We deeply appreciate his unwavering dedication to truth and humor, which we anticipate will continue to shine in his upcoming special,” she said in her own statement.
According to insiders at HBO, there’s been no word yet on whether or not Maher’s 13th comedy special might be his final one, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Since 2003, I’ve been at the helm of “Real Time With Bill Maher,” my weekly talk show, and before that, for nearly a decade, I hosted the similarly formatted “Politically Incorrect.” In 2022, I launched the “Club Random” podcast. My first special on HBO aired in 1989, and since then, I’ve produced another 12 solo specials, with “Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?” set to premiere in January.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve got some inside scoop on the upcoming comedy special for HBO! This highly-anticipated production will be overseen by Maher, Marc Gurvitz, Marcus Raboy, and Neal Marshall in executive roles. Meanwhile, the mastermind behind the scenes ensuring everything runs smoothly is Rhonda Freeson, producing this laugh riot. Can’t wait to see it unfold!
