Format
Unlike Bill Maher's Real Time With Bill Maher which features panel discussions on mostly political topics, Amazon Fishbowl follows a fairly traditional talk show format: following a short comedy monologue, guests appear alone with Maher, in three-to-four minute segments promoting their latest project and often touching on their creative process. Towards the end of the show there is a musical performance, with the first three installments featuring Rob Thomas, Dixie Chicks, and Dashboard Confessional, respectively. Real Time with Bill Maher is a talk show that airs weekly on HBO, hosted by comedian and political satirist Bill Maher. ...

Below the video of the program itself are links to the product each guest is promoting, or similar works available on Amazon.com. In the case of a movie coming to (or still in) theatres, a link to its Internet Movie Database listing is used instead.

Additionally, there are brief commercial breaks for unrelated products and services between segments.
