REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER January 22 Lineup

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER continues its 19th season FRIDAY, JANUARY 22 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with a replay at 12:30 a.m. Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, the show includes an opening monologue, roundtable discussions with panelists and interviews with guests.

The series is available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max.

This week features a one-on-one, in-studio interview with former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and author of "The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence," Frank Figliuzzi. This week's in-studio panel discussion will include host of Snapchat's "Good Luck America" and contributing writer for Vanity Fair, Peter Hamby; and co-host of "The Fifth Column" podcast, Kmele Foster.

Politico has hailed Maher as "a pugnacious debater and a healthy corrective to the claptrap of cable news," while Variety noted, "There may not be a more eclectic guest list on all of television."

Maher headlined his first special on the network in 1989 and has starred in 11 HBO solo specials to date.

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.
