Currently in its tenth season, the talk show has been picked up through 2014 as part of Maher’s new three-year deal with the network.

Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER debuts new editions on Friday nights (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT). The show includes an opening monologue, roundtable discussions with panelists, and interviews with in-studio and satellite guests, and was hailed as “hands down the funniest show on TV” in Rolling Stone by “Family Guy” creator Seth McFarlane, who added, “It surprises me more than any other show I watch.” At 4.1 million viewers per episode this season, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER’s gross audience is the highest for the series in three years.

He is also author of the books “When You Ride Alone You Ride with Bin Laden: What the Government Should Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That?

I’ve been a fan of BM’s every year, on every network he’s been on. He just gets better. His outlook has seemed to change; he has become more serious and intellectual as the year’s have gone by. This along with his popularity gives him the ability to ask his guests even tougher questions. At times his comedic
outlook falls to the wayside and the gloves come off. which I enjoy watching.

Sweet, I watch the show every Friday, he just has a great and funny take on everything, he’s to comedy like what Steven Seagal is to action movies. He kicks ASS!! Although of course there are people that won’t be so happy to hear the news.
