REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its landmark 20th season FRIDAY, APRIL 29 (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 Fran Lebowitz, author and social commentator who is currently touring for "An Evening with Fran Lebowitz." This week's panel discussion will include MSNBC host, Ali Velshi; and Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and former Democratic Senator from Alabama, Doug Jones (D-AL).

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 11 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.
