Members Who Went Said:
Excellent seats. Couldn't have been better! The lecture series was fabulous. Greatly enjoyed the event. Thanks, Goldstar!
Jeffrey C. Insipid, insulting, and a rip off. Tony Snow spoke for about 20 minutes. I left after Bill Maher had "spewed" for about the same time. he actually referred to Barack obama's penis , and further, that as the campaigns get meaner the American public will learn that his penis is uncut and smells like curry. It's not even good writing, comedy, or taste. The entire experience was a travesty. I learned NOTHING about ANYTHING to do with the challenges that we face as a world today. NOTHING. Tony Blair informed me, inspired me to think, he was wonderful. This was nothing more than two buffoons believing they are brilliant (truly scary) auditioning for the opening spot at the convention as a "warm up" act. And for both of them to assume that the entire audience was Jewish and Democrat was arrogant and ignorant. FAR from brilliant as neither I nor my guest are Jewish or registered Democrats. We are gay libertarians. LOL. I will never watch that idiot's show again. And the AJU should demand their money back from both of them. So should I.
Sharon Hahn Leisure Life A great evening, Bill Maher and Tony Snow were at the top of their respective games! |

More Details About This Event: William Maher, Jr. (born January 20, 1956) is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer. He hosted the late-night television talk show Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central and ABC, and is currently the host of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO.
Maher is known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary. His commentaries target a wide swath of topics, from the right-wing to the left-wing, bureaucracies of many kinds, religion, political correctness, Hollywood, the mass media, and persons in positions of high political and social power, among many others. He supports the legalization of cannabis and gay marriage and serves on the board of PETA. Maher is number 38 on Comedy Central's 100 greatest stand-ups of all time. Robert Anthony "Tony" Snow (born June 1, 1955) was the third White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, succeeding Scott McClellan and Ari Fleischer in that role. Snow also worked for President George H. W. Bush as chief speechwriter and Deputy Assistant of Media Affairs. Between his two White House stints, Snow was a broadcaster and newspaper columnist. After years of regular guest-hosting for The Rush Limbaugh Show and providing news commentary for National Public Radio, he launched his own talk radio program, The Tony Snow Show, which went on to become nationally syndicated. He was also a regular personality on Fox News Channel since 1996, hosting Fox News Sunday, Weekend Live, and often substituting as host of The O'Reilly Factor. About Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal Citywalk: The Amphitheatre opened in 1972 as an outdoor venue and quickly became the place for contemporary music for both performers and fans. Long-time patrons delight in mentioning the time they saw The Grateful Dead, David Bowie, Elton John, Frank Sinatra and a young comedian named Steve Martin. They all performed under the stars during the open-air days of the Amphitheatre.In 1982 the Amphitheatre was remodeled and reopened as a state-of-the-art indoor venue with the best sight lines and acoustics in the industry. The touring industry responded by making the venue the launching point for major tours. Virtually every star in every musical genre has graced the stage, from Eric Clapton to Eddie Murphy, Amy Grant to Frank Zappa, Rod Stewart to the Royal Danish Ballet. The Amphitheatre is a magnet for performers from around the world and has been the site for events of worldwide interest, hosting a Pope as well as a President. The Amphitheatre also provides a perfect home for awards shows and fundraisers: MTV Music Awards, VH1 Honors, the Academy of Country Music Awards, HBO's Comic Relief and AIDS Project Los Angeles' Commitment to Life events have all shined at Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk. |
