Bill Brings ‘New Rule’ to Amazon.
ABC NEWS -
Bill Maher has signed off from his HBO talk show for the summer, but he’s only taking a vacation from skewering politicians, not work, as he dives into a Web-based show on Amazon.com.
The Internet marketing giant begins live streaming of the weekly “Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher” next Thursday, and for 12 installments this summer, the controversial TV personality will interview authors, celebrities and musicians, with an aim toward increasing the shopping Web site’s audience and sales.
As Maher conducts interviews, books and CDs of each guest will be made readily available to make them “closely integrated with the show experience,” Amazon spokeswoman Jani Strand told Reuters.
On HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the host interviews a mix of politically minded celebrities and politicians on topical issues, with a bent toward politics. On the Amazon show, the Web site will pick out the guests.
Maher promises that he’ll be his same feisty self. Previews of the online show show him interviewing the likes of author Stephen King, actress Toni Collette and musician Rob Thomas.
