REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER March 19 Lineup

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its 19th season FRIDAY, MARCH 19 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with a replay at 12:30 a.m. 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 is available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max.

This week features a one-on-one, in-studio interview with Open Labs' head of data science and senior fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, David Shor. This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Reason editor-at-large and host of "The Reason Interview" podcast, Nick Gillespie; and former Democratic senator from North Dakota and co-founder of One Country Project, Heidi Heitkamp.

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 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.
