Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 19th season Friday, April 23 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 11:30 p.m., exclusively on HBO.

This week features a one-on-one, in-studio interview with Fran Lebowitz, former Vanity Fair contributing editor and star of Netflix's 7-part series, Pretend It's a City.

This week's in-studio panel discussion will include April Ryan, DC Bureau Chief and White House correspondent for TheGrio.com and author of At Mama's Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White; and syndicated columnist S.E. Cupp, CNN contributor who hosts CNN's S.E. Cupp: Unfiltered.

1. Sippy Cupp is still relevant???

5. I'm interested in what she says a few months after trump. She's been anti-trump

the last year or so.

Before that, just couldn’t stand her. Want to see if maybe she really learned something, or if she goes back to the same junk. I suspect the latter.

6. I had the same reaction

Back in the day (when she turned up on the panel), there were times I just couldn't watch, she was that offensive. We'll see if she's changed, some anti-Trumpers are easier to take than others (since Trump has taken over the Republican party, those who have rejected the party as well) so I guess we'll see how far her transformation has gone. I'm not optimistic, either. It's a welcome change to see an all-female lineup, but there are so many others I'd prefer to hear from.

2. Love Maher

for his open mindedness, really making me break away from group think. He is effective in opening minds. I’m even embarrassed to say but I don’t hate Sharon Osborn after I saw her interview, I understood her. May not fully agree but there are people who just don’t filter. The intent still matters so Megyn Kelly is a different story.
Also, Maher has always been spot on as it comes to Islam and how burkas covering faces are anti-women, not to be ever condoned in a free society. Granted, he despises all religions, but some are more extreme than others in their application to real life and it’s ok to acknowledge it.

4. +1. Believe it or not, someone alerted on your post for some reason.

3. The last time I saw Fran on his show

he also had Salman Rushdie on. That was a good show! I hope tomorrow nails it too.

7. She's very good, one of Bill's favorite guests I think.

And April Ryan is also really good, S.E. Cupp, not so much.

8. Impressive panel. Will watch. Thanks

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Thanks!

And it's rare to see an all female lineup, sounds like an interesting show.

10. +1000

[question everything]

11. S.E. Cupp almost lost it when she heard that Lindsey Graham believes in climate change

with her burst of laughter.

And she voted for Biden.

12. Now that impressed me!

Apparently there is hope for her. I thought this was the best show of the season, so far. His interview with Fran Lebowitz was very entertaining and I liked New Rules a lot, too.
