  1. Politically Incorrect

    Politically Incorrect was an American late-night, half-hour political talk show hosted by Bill Maher that aired from July 25, 1993, to July 5, 2002. It premiered on Comedy Central in July 1993 and aired for three seasons until November 5, 1996; amid its success on Comedy Central, ABC expressed interest in bringing the show to the network to shore up its late-night lineup, moving there on January 5, 1997. On September 17, 2001, Maher criticized United States foreign policy on the show and argued that the perpetrators of the September 11 terrorist attacks, although terrible people, were not cowards. What was cowardly, he argued, was America's relationship with the rest of the world. The comments were widely condemned, and while Maher later apologized and clarified the meaning behind his comments, major advertisers stopped advertising with the show. As a result, the show was canceled in 2002.The show first originated from New York City, but soon moved to Los Angeles. The New York episodes were shot at the CBS Broadcast Center and the Los Angeles episodes at CBS Television City, where it remained even after its move to ABC. The first episode featured comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern co-host Robin Quivers, Republican Party strategist Ed Rollins, and comedian Larry Miller. Frequent guests included Dave Matthews, Arianna Huffington, Michael McKean, Ann Coulter, Carrot Top, and Christine O'Donnell.

  1. politically incorrect

    Politically incorrect refers to language, actions, or policies that may offend, marginalize, or insult certain groups of people, particularly those who are historically disadvantaged or discriminated against. It typically involves expressions that are considered inappropriate or out of line with contemporary societal norms of respect, fairness, and equality. Political correctness emerged as an important concept in social discussions to promote sensitivity to diversity and prevent discrimination. Hence, being politically incorrect is often seen as disrespecting this sensitivity.
