Maher told The New York Times that he was "going to be entering into the exciting world of outright meddling with the political process." 

He said he would announce more on his show Friday night, but Maher is planning to ask his viewers to nominate the worst member of Congress. Once the worst member is selected, he'll use his show to highlight why he believes that member of Congress is the worst. He'll also make occasional visits to that member of Congress' district to do stand-up routines lambasting the lawmaker.

“There are a lot of terrible, entrenched congressmen out there,” Maher told the Times. “We’re going to choose one of them, throw him or her into the national spotlight, and see if we can’t send him or her scuttling under the refrigerator on election night."
