REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER June 5 Episode Lineup

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues FRIDAY, JUNE 5 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/7:00-8:00 p.m. PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, the show continues with its opening monologue, one-on-one interviews with notable guests, roundtable discussions with panelists, and its signature "New Rules."

This week features a one-on-one interview with Vice President Mike Pence, 48th Vice President of the United States and author of "What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience." This week's panel discussion includes Senator Chris Murphy, Democratic senator from Connecticut and author of the new book "Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America"; and Susan Rice, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, former U.S. National Security Advisor, and former Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Mediaite said "In the age of independent-minded content creators, Maher can be easily recognized as a pioneer - and one of the only independents who continues to thrive. His show also remains a coveted spot for any political commentator and heck, who else can say that he is regularly cited in a positive light by both Fox and MS NOW?"

Maher headlined his first special on HBO in 1989 and has starred in 13 solo specials for the network to date including, "Bill Maher: Be More Cynical" (2000), "I'm Swiss" (2005), "Bill Maher... But I'm Not Wrong" (2010), "Bill Maher: Live from Oklahoma" (2018), and "#Adulting" (2022). First on "Politically Incorrect" and for more than 20 years on "Real Time," Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy(R) nominations. Maher's 13th comedy special for the network "Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?" debuted January 10, 2025 on HBO and is available to stream on HBO Max.

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.
