Bill Maher is set to tackle the week’s hot topics with a guest list that includes a decorated military leader and prominent media commentators on the next installment of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. The episode airs Friday, May 16, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET on HBO and will also be available for streaming on Max.
This week’s one-on-one interview features Stanley A. McChrystal, the retired U.S. Army four-star general and author of On Character: Choices That Define a Life. Joining the panel discussion are Scott Jennings, CNN senior political contributor and author of the upcoming book A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization, and Peter Hamby, host of Snapchat’s political show “Good Luck America.” The lineup continues Maher’s signature format of an opening monologue, extended interview, and a pugnacious roundtable discussion, a staple of the politically charged talk show now in its 23rd season.
