Hi Rachel and All,
Sorry to not be more clear. This show had been mentioned before my email, so
I was pretty vague. You wrote:

It is indeed a talk show shown late at night in the U.S. on ABC -- in my
opinion, a noxious talk show that goes well beyond living up to its name.
They seem to work hard to find the most uninformed people in the country to
give opinions on every subject. The host, Bill Maher, has the most opinions
and, of course, the least information behind them. Here is the Web site for
the show:

Let's see ... Bill Maher is the show's host, who used to be a comedian and
hasn't been funny in quite awhile. (Whoops, editorializing.) Here's how they
introduced the others:
- She is a film critic and the co-host of KPRZ's "Holly McClure live!" in
San Diego --
Holly McClure!
- She is a delightful actress and one of the splendid stars of "Becker,"
Mondays at 9:30 on another network -- Shawnee Smith, right over here!
- One of the most famous -- I think he's probably the most famous chef in
the world.
His newest cookbook is "Wolfgang Puck's Pizza, Pasta, and More!" Wolfgang
Puck.
- And the very funny comedian and the swell co-host of Comedy Central's "The
Man Show" --
Jimmy Kimmel.

I'm not sure it will do much good, unfortunately. I think the show tries so
hard to offend that they're not swayed by letters and emails telling them
they've succeeded in being offensive. But I may be wrong! They do have a
"contact ABC" link from the site:

LOL -- absolutely.
