Real Time with Bill Maher February 18 Lineup

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its landmark 20^th season FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/7:00-8:00 p.m. PT). Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, the show includes an opening monologue, roundtable discussions with panelists and interviews with guests.  

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

This week features a one-on-one interview with Brooke Jenkins, former San Francisco Assistant District Attorney. This week’s panel discussion will include John Avlon, Senior Political Analyst and CNN anchor, and author of the new book, “Lincoln and the Fight for Peace”; and Katrina Vanden Heuvel, publisher of The Nation and columnist for the Washington Post.

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 series has been renewed through 2024.

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.
