REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13 (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 continues with its opening monologue, one-on-one interviews with notable guests, roundtable discussions with panelists, and its signature “New Rules.” The series airs on HBO and is available to stream on Max.

This week features a one-on-one interview with tech ethicist, co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization Center for Humane Technology, and a co-host of the podcast “Your Undivided Attention,” Tristan Harris. This week’s panel discussion includes James Kirchick, columnist for Tablet Magazine, writer-at-large for Air Mail, and author of “Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington;” and Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy and former foreign policy advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

The Hollywood Reporter observed, “Amid a bleak talk show landscape, Maher achieves the unthinkable: He consistently gets people talking.”

Maher headlined his first special on the network in 1989 and has starred in 12 HBO solo specials to date.
