Bill Maher and Paul Anka revisit a remarkable chapter of Vegas history as Anka shares how Frank Sinatra used his influence to stand up for Sammy Davis Jr. during an era of segregation. From the Rat Pack's loyalty to Sinatra's refusal to perform unless Sammy was treated equally, this story reveals why Sinatra's impact went far beyond music.

ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.”

Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
