SEASON PREMIERE: If you caught Bill Maher on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night ABC talk show (ABC late night being Maher’s old stomping grounds, back in the days of Politically Incorrect), you already know he’s got plenty to say about recent, and very current, events – the Islamic terrorist attack on satirists in Paris, the allegations of Bill Cosby as a sexual predator, and the North Korean hacking reaction to the comedy film The Interview. Without question, Maher should cover all three of those topics in both his monologue and his round table discussion, as he kicks off Season 13. Here’s hoping it’s a lucky number – and it should be, since the guests for tonight’s opener include an already booked celebrity who, given events earlier this week, just may be the perfect guest: author Salman Rushdie, the target of a fundamentalist fatwa a generation ago for writing The Satanic Verses.
