Maher attempted to answer that himself in his “New Rules” editorial, saying in a message to protesters blocking
It’s no secret that Real Time host Bill Maher enjoys a toke now and then. He was the cover boy for L.A. Magazine’s recent 420 issue, and brings he habit up frequently on the show. But that mellow side of him disguises the pitbull that has his favorite targets and topics to attack. This week’s
Bill Maher is heading to CNN. Real Time with Bill Maher, which airs on Friday nights on HBO, will repeat on Saturdays on sister network CNN. The move starts on March 23. It’s not a huge surprise that Warner Bros. Discovery is using properties from one of its linear networks to bolster that of a
On the one side, you have an atheist and avowed bachelor. On the other, a psychologist who thinks family and faith are the keys to progress from our current problems.

There’s still nine months to go until the presidential election, and we’ve already reached peak talking points. At least, that was the contention from Bill Maher in his “New Rules” editorial on Friday’s Real Time. “It gets so dull hearing these talking points,” Maher lamented, running down a list of common complaints about the economy
Bill Maher is often confronted with the accusation that he’s switched from an ultra-liberal to a more conservative stance. He may have added fuel to that argument with the subect of Friday’s Real Time, which focused on what he called “Biden’s Brain.” It’s a topic that broke out this week from hushed backrooms to the
“I don’t think you’ve can judge that from Barbie not getting nominated,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) tonight to Bill Maher when asked by the host if the snub of the blockbuster’s director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie in the Oscars nominations means America is a patriarchy or not.

It was the Thanksgiving show for Bill Maher‘s Real Time, typically his last show of the fall season before a hiatus. But because of the Writers Guild strikes, the show will go on into December. That’s reason enough to be thankful. But Maher had an added reason for grace on Friday’s show – he had
Oil and water. Oscar and Felix. Entering tonight’s Real Time, you’d expect Sen. Ted Cruz and Bill Maher to fit into that “don’t mix” category. You’d be wrong, for the most part.

“Western civilization is what gave the word every goddamn liberal precept to adore,” Bill Maher thundered during his “New Rules” editorial on Friday’s Real Time.

How do you deal with a world where finger-pointing, bureaucracy, mob actions and a lack of initiative stall progress?

Bill Maher was off television for five months, thanks to the WGA strike. So naturally, he had a lot to catch up on in Friday’s edition of Real Time on HBO.

“Why is this guy picking a fight with Mickey Mouse?” Bill Maher asked Ron DeSantis tonight of the poll lagging Florida Governor’s ongoing jurisdictional and legal battles with the Walt Disney Company over the last year. “Well, first of all, they picked a fight with us,” a literally suited and cowboy booted DeSantis defensively replied
Bill Maher is the latest host to postpone his return to work. Maher said that Real Time with Bill Maher will not, as previously planned, return to HBO on September 22. He joins the likes of Drew Barrymore and The Talk in delaying returning to the studio. Over the weekend, a slew of hosts including
