[Rhiannon12866]

Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 20th season Friday, November 11 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 12:00 a.m., exclusively on HBO.

This week features a one-on-one interview with Jared Polis, Democratic Governor of Colorado since January 2019, who just won reelection to a second term.

This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Robert Costa, chief election and campaign correspondent for CBS News and co-author of Peril; and Ro Khanna, Democratic congressman representing California's 17th district since 2017 and author of Dignity in a Digital Age: Making Tech Work For All Of Us.

1. It'll be interesting to see Bill's reaction to the election.

Since he, like so many others, was utterly convinced we were going to be destroyed.

2. It will be the same as mine because I was pessimistic about the American people.

Relief. But people are really invested in hating him. Knock yourselves out!

[brush]

3. Yes, I'm also looking forward to his election thoughts.

Turns out most Americans don't like snatching women's rights or magats staging coups against the goverment or election denying repup liars.

8. Woke

I'm 100% positive he had a 10 minute monologue prepared to blame it all on the woke left, wokeism, and cancel culture.

Bill is slowly turning into Bill O'Reilly, he really is pathetic.

[BlueTsunami2018]

9. He overdoes that.

But there is some truth to it.

4. NO GQP US Taliban memers on his show tonight?

[2naSalit]

5. Next week...

He'll have a parade of whiners.

[True Dough]

6. Will be interesting

to see what Bill has to say about the outcome of the election. He ended the show last week with a lengthy eulogy to democracy, anticipating that the red wave was coming.

Perhaps he was attempting to motivate Dem voters to go to the polls, but he was definitely off the mark.

[Kingofalldems]

7. He'll still claim that he was right.

Arrogance.

[question everything]

10. Interesting panel and all of us can watch him eat crow

not just for the elections but also for the story on how masking prevented covid infections in school

A WSJ columnist, not a very rabid, wrote this:

(I said I’d eat crow if there was no red wave. The bird is basting.)

Thanks, again, for your tireless posting

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Ahh, thanks so much my friend - and I kicked your thread, good point!

And I'm just going to say what I think so often - if I see a thread on something I'm not interested in, I just skip over it.

[Abolishinist]

12. Loved it!

The final segment on who is the former 'diddling' was priceless!

Go Bill go!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. And I especially liked this week's guests, all political, all on topic - and all Democrats!

And it was a funny show!

[Johnny2X2X]

14. Best show he's had in years.

Great guests.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I thought so, too! All political, all Democrats - and conversant in current events!

And if you missed Overtime, I post the show in V&M every week (since 2017)

24. I'll just take your word for it.

I'm sure as hell not watching that sonovabitch, not after all the shit he's spewed about Democrats.

[Lemon Lyman]

16. Eh

He can never go an episode without the woke crap. This one was no different. 10 years ago it was Islam, Islam, Islam. Now it's woke/cancel culture/trans/fat people getting sick from Covid. Sounds like he's a desantis fan too. He wrote the guy a valentine.

He's gone downhill over the past 5-8 years. Covid seems to've really broken him. Masking, things being closed down. I don't think he'll ever get over that.

There was some good stuff on the show. I'm always appreciateve of Ri and others posting these threads. But it is very rare for me to watch a whole epi without tons of eye rolls. There's an outstanding episode every once and a blue moon. But it's so rare. He always has to get the woke stuff in there (and/or cancel culture and or the left making everything about race/gender/sexuality). It's not that "overwokeness" is never a problem or never goes too far. But to hit on it every week when the other side has SO MANY CRAZY THINGS they say/do/stand for -- it's just nuts to me. I miss the Maher from the Bush years.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. I thought he had especially good guests this week.

But of course they were all "well behaved." Maybe he needs a lineup that includes the likes of Rob Reiner and Max Brooks - who are familiar and outspoken enough that they're not afraid to argue with him or call him out - in a good humored way, of course.

[Boomerproud]

20. I have PTSD from covid lockdown like a lot of people but I

don't get to display it every week.

[DET]

18. It Was Great

The final segment on ‘Who is doing Trump?’ was something I would normally despise, but Maher made it funny. He goes places most people won’t. There’s just something about Maher that makes me laugh. And I can’t help but like anyone who makes me laugh.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Same here!

And the thing that many people forget is that Bill is a comedian. Yes, he has political guests and discusses current events, but he makes his living making people laugh.

[Mz Pip]

21. That was hysterical!

Bill had a great show last night. His closing remarks on who is doing Trump had me ROTFLMAF.

[aggiesal]

22. I haven't watched the episode, ...

but last week he said the Dems were going to take a shalaking.

I hope he wasn't gloating after his statements last week.

[sky_masterson]

23. I wish his last new rule about who is doing Trump

Was about What the voters did to Trump instead.

[gulliver]

25. Great episode

Very impressed by Jared Polis and Ro Khanna as Dems. I also thought Robert Costa was great.
