Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 20th season Friday, June 24 (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 interview with Christine Emba, columnist for The Washington Post and author of Rethinking Sex: A Provocation.

This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Andrew Sullivan, blogger of The Weekly Dish on Substack and author of Out on a Limb: Selected Writing, 1989-2021; and Katie Herzog, co-host of the podcast Blocked and Reported.

1. Andrew Sullivan got seriously spanked

on "The Problem With Jon Stewart". (Worth watching, I promise). Bill Maher will salvage Sullivan's reputation. Maher really can't hold Stewart's jock.

[question everything]

2. Except for Sullivan not familiar with the other two

A lot happened this week and yet, and yet, besides expressing outrage, what else is there to add to the lowly SCOTUS?

Thanks for posting.

4. Thanks! And same here, I meant to look up the two women.

But I guess we'll see - it's not like there isn't more breaking news than ever to talk about! Yikes!

3. Fuck Bill Maher

I'm sure he'll be blaming all this on "the liberals."

5. The show has not aired yet.

6. I must say, one of his better shows!

Didn't see much of the first part with Christine, but Sullivan, Herzog, and Maher were great together.

What I find somewhat troubling is that, although it's clear to me that he wants Democrats to win, if one were to even acknowledge some of what they were discussing as being worthy of consideration I'm not so sure that conversation would be 'acceptable' to some here.

7. If you miss any part of the show, I've regularly posted (since 2017) the show in V&M

Since I know it's of interest and that not everyone here has cable - or even TV! I post the "official" segments, but since those increasingly leave a lot out, I've started added a "bootleg" offering of the entire show - but that doesn't last. That's why I started posting the "official" version, since that's what we used to see posted here.

And I agree with you, I did cringe at several of the comments, knew that they wouldn't be popular here. But I still watch since he has guests we wouldn't necessarily hear from elsewhere and I appreciate the humor - something that's in short supply these days. *sigh*

p.s. Plus, I also include the Overtime segment - which is only available online.
