Real Time with Bill Maher

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its landmark 20^th season FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 (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 Academy Award^®-winning filmmaker and host of the podcast “Rumble” with Michael Moore. This week’s panel discussion will include Jonathan Lemire, White House Bureau Chief for Politico, host of MSNBC’s “Way Too Early with Jonathan Lemire,” and author of the new book, “The Big Lie: Election Chaos, Political Opportunism, and the State of American Politics After 2020”; and Vivek Ramaswamy, founder and Executive Chairman of Strive Asset Management and New York Times bestselling author of the new book “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.”

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 12 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.
