Real Time with Bill Maher guests - Friday, June 21, 2019
Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 17th season Friday, June 21 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 11:30 p.m., exclusively on HBO.

Historian Allan Lichtman is the top-of-show interview guest.

Columnist Dr. Debra Soh is the mid-show interview guest.

The roundtable guests are journalist Thom Hartmann, political consultant Liz Mair and columnist Dan Savage.

1. Good ones!

2. Two out of five guest are women, so that's better than usual

Although he will still have his usual sausage fest of ZERO women writers and only 1 female producer out of 10--and all of the writes and producers are white.l

3. I don't know all of them, but always look forward to Dan Savage

He speaks out like nobody else! But you're right, it's usually only one woman. Sometimes he has a woman for his mid show guest, but it would be nice to have a woman as his initial interview.

4. It'd be even nicer if he had women writers and producers

and wasn't such a misogynist and religious bigot.

I don't want it to seem like I'm attacking you, just to be clear. My problem is exclusively with Maher and the system that makes the sick gender dynamics of his show not only acceptable, but normal. My apologies for threadjacking

6. No problem, though I admit when I look at the credits, it's to see who's on next week's show

And you're right, it's usually only one token female guest. The only introductory female interview I can remember was Barbra Streisand. And I wish that he had more than one strong female guest on the panel. My favorites are Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow, but then that's just me.

5. Thom Hartmann? Oh no!

He'll probably try to filibuster the show with references to all the books he has on the market.

[Trumpocalypse]

7. So how many times will Maher

bash Democrats tonight? My guess is at least three.

[Paladin]

8. Yeah, I don't need any more "Why Democrats Suck" rants from Maher.

Fuck him and his show.
