Real Time with Bill Maher

 

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its 18th season FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with a replay at 11:30 p.m., exclusively on HBO. Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, the show includes an opening monologue, roundtable discussions with panelists and interviews with guests.  

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER will tape in front of a limited, 25-person studio audience this week and the roundtable panel discussion will be conducted in-person, all under COVID-19 guidelines.

This week features one-on-one virtual interviews with actor Ewan McGregor about his upcoming motorcycle docu-series "Long Way Up" and former FBI agent and author of the new book Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump, Peter Strzok. This week’s panel discussion will include Peter Hamby, host of Snapchat’s political show "Good Luck America" and contributing writer for Vanity Fair as well as Jessica Yellin, former CNN Chief White House Correspondent, author of the novel Savage News and founder of #NewsNotNoise on Instagram.

The series is also available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max.

Politico has hailed Maher as “a pugnacious debater and a healthy corrective to the claptrap of cable news,” while Variety noted, “There may not be a more eclectic guest list on all of television.”

Maher headlined his first special on the network in 1989 and has starred in 11 HBO solo specials to date.

The executive producers of REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER are Bill Maher, Sheila Griffiths, Marc Gurvitz, Dean Johnsen, Billy Martin; co-executive producer, Chris Kelly; producer, Matt Wood; director, Paul Casey.
