Politically Incorrect

In 1993 Bill Maher created the perfect forum for his quick-witted, comedic talents — Politically Incorrect. On Comedy Central, he had brought together some of the most interesting politicians, entertainers, and journalists to participate in some of the most controversial, topical, and comical discussions. Winners of four CableACE Awards combined, Maher and his program have grown in popularity year to year, eventually catching the attention — in 1997 — of ABC, and capturing the post-Nightline time slot.

Maher, inspired by the show's success, assembled some of P.I.'s most memorable highlights in his book, Does Anybody Have a Problem With That?: Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits. In it, Maher offers tongue-in-cheek commentary on such modest proposals as putting warning labels on the Bible, why we should have drunk-driving lanes, and his regular "Get Over Yourself Award," given to such notables as Newt Gingrich, Santa Claus and the O.J. Simpson defense team. He also offers a collection of some of the funniest and most insightful thoughts of P.I.'s panelists, including Ben Affleck, Marilyn Manson, Ann Richards, Pamela Anderson Lee, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Arianna Huffington, and Janeane Garofalo.

I thought we should save these accolades from the abc (always be correct) website.
