REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER returns for its 16th season FRIDAY, JAN. 19 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 12:30 a.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. Author Michael Wolff is the top-of-show interview guest. Activist Saru Jayaraman is the mid-show interview guest. The roundtable guests are journalist Andrew Sullivan and comedian Larry Wilmore.
The show is also available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand and affiliate portals.
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER has already been renewed through 2020.
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 ten HBO solo specials to date. He is also an executive producer of the innovative news magazine show “VICE,” which returns for its sixth season later this year on HBO.”
What do you think? Do you watch Real Time with Bill Maher? Will you watch the new season?
I only get HBO because of Bill’s show. He is hilarious and one of the only people who say what we are all thinking.
My husband and I only have HBO because of Bill Maher. His show is Great and he has multiple excellent guest speakers and panelist each week. He is off the air now for the summer and I am looking forward to his return in fall because we miss him and all his guest speakers, terribly. Especially in these terrible, turbulent political times.
I totally agree! I hate paying for HBO because Bill’s show is the only thing I ever watch on there, but I HAVE to watch it and I miss him so much when he is on hiatus!
Like his show…but I think he has lost focus on the issues…stop giving free press to trump about what he should do…knowing he is not…especially that comment about Black Panther movie…I think he has not learned his lesson…I may stop watching even though i want to hear the jokes.
Bill is a great debater and looks for truth. I don’t always agree with him. His show is at least healthly and sane and I sure do miss him when he is away.
