Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 19th season Friday, June 11 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 11:31 p.m., exclusively on HBO.

This week features a one-on-one, in-studio interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist with the American Museum of Natural History, host of the Webby-nominated podcast StarTalk and author of the new book, Cosmic Queries: StarTalk’s Guide to Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going.

This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Rob Reiner, filmmaker and activist; and Rachel Bitecofer, elections analyst, political scientist and co-founder of Strike PAC.

1. Finally, a week without jackoff right wing fuckmooks.

[USALiberal]

11. Yes it's great to never hear the other side at all. Lol

[Comfortably_Numb]

15. Yeah, no. They get plenty of airtime elsewhere to air their bile.

It’s not like we don’t get drowned in “the other side” constantly.

2. No right wingers? I may actually give this episode a look. n/t

3. That's the show that got canceled because

Maher tested positive for covid. I'm glad they rescheduled the guests because I like all of them.

I really appreciate that you post these threads here. One question, though: I may be reading the words wrong, but it sounds like HBO runs Real Time at 10:00pm Pacific Time. It may, but I can guarantee you that I watch the new episodes at 7:00 every Friday. I think it may be rerun at 10, but I've gone home by that time. Does the show rerun at 1:00am Saturday Eastern Time?

Thanks!

6. I've been hoping they'd air the canceled show, too, but the only reschedule is Neil deGrasse Tyson

The others that were scheduled were Max Brooks and Dan Carlin. Though I can see how you might confuse Max Brooks and Rob Reiner - sons of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, LOL. They are among the very best guests, both are smart and informed - and funny! (No big surprise!) I was thinking earlier that a show with both Rob and Max would be the best, they wouldn't need anything else!

And according to the schedule, HBO Pacific does air the show at 1am. I used to work with TV listings, mostly the Pacific time zone, so I automatically figure the time difference.

8. You are right

I did mix up Rob Reiner and Max Brooks! Yeah, understandable for the reason you said. A show with Rob Reiner and Max Brooks would be phenomenal! Having Tyson as the interview guest is just icing on the cake.

Sorry for being so pedantic. This was nothing compared to how it make me feel when I see apostrophes used to form plurals - I gotta reach for the blood pressure medicine!

4. I will set the DVR to make sure not to miss this one. (nt)

[nolabear]

5. Oh Lord, I'm gonna have to watch.

I’ve been beyond my breaking point with Maher but Tyson and Reiner will pull me back in. I hope they give him hell. Or at least don’t let him get away with his usual bs.

[Leith]

9. It will be a good one

I can take Maher's bs. It's when he lets a guest grab the microphone and run with diarrheal bs that gets my dander up. I wanted to throw the TV through the window when Dennis Prager was on. Bill was trying to start New Rules but Prager went off an a jag of insanity and wouldn't let it go.

7. great panel

Rob Reiner holds NOTHING back

[question everything]

10. Tyson was great! Not sure bout Bitecofer. I wish Reiner could get a word in.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I know, and I was particularly looking forward to him.

He's not only informed and outspoken, but he's very funny too - no big surprise.

14. She was terrible, interrupting all the time -- I cringed at every superfluous curse word.

I didn't really understand her opinion. Democrats should stop talking about policy and do more fear mongering like Republicans and it's possible to break into Republicans voters' bubbles to explain things to them, "shove it down their throats"? But she said Democrats won in Georgia because they ran on Covid and infrastructure. Sounds like policy to me. I don't get it.

12. Oh noes not the deGrasse!
