his highly acclaimed
television show,
Politically Incorrect,
comedian Bill Maher has returned to
his professional 'roots" — standup

such places as Skokie, Ill.; Tacoma,
Wash.; Agoura Hills, Calif.; and,

The topical talk show was the epit-

garnering 18 Emmy Award nomina-
tions, but the bubble burst in May
for the quick-witted and
sharp-tongued Maher.
