Real Time with Bill Maher: TV Guide News

3 photos

A talk show about current events with the former host of `Politically Incorrect.' This weekly late-night forum is a virtual clone of `P.I.,' with some Maher stand-up and a similarly diverse lineup of informed panelists, but this being HBO, the language is a good deal more blunt. In addition to the roundtable discussions, the show also features topical interviews with in-studio and satellite guests.

Bill Maher Marred by Strike | Today's News: Our Take | 1/7/2008
HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher — which had its previous season cut short by the onset of the WGA strike — returns Friday with new episodes but minus two of its regular features. According to the Reporter, as peers Jay Leno and David Letterman did upon their own returns, Maher will replace his opening monologue with some audience interaction, playing off his experiences as a stand-up comedian.Also gone is the scripted closing segment "New Rules." To fill the time, Real Time will feature an extended version of its roundtable discussion with guests. Me, I'd be enthralled to simply have Bill explain how he has hooked up with such a litany of fabulous ladies. Must be the "funny" thing. Women dig funny. read more
