    Plot Outline: Four guests from the worlds of politics and entertainment join host Bill Maher for a free-wheeling and humorous discussion of current events.
    Plot: Political talk show based on the idea that debate is stifled by too much seriousness. Guests are chosen from the worlds of politics and entertainment, often with the goal of creating conflict (ultra-sensitive special-interest groups matched with outrageous comedians). Nevertheless, a relatively friendly atmosphere is maintained, with none of the swearing or chair-throwing common on shock-talk shows. Regular features have included the “Get Over Yourself” award, given to the weeks most self-absorbed public figure.

    Goofs: We know about 2 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Crew or equipment visible: The scene where Dante is chased by the dog and encounters Virgil. The thin wire lead which is being used to control the dog is visible at the left of the scene.
