Bill Maher hits a significant milestone this week, logging his 700th episode of Real Time on Friday, June 20, at 10:00 PM ET on HBO. To mark the occasion, he’s assembled a panel that hits all the show’s signature notes: humor, political sparring, and a dash of literary wit.
Leading the guest list is Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry, who will sit down for a one-on-one interview. Barry is currently making the rounds for his new book, “Class Clown: The Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass: How I Went 77 Years Without Growing Up,” so expect a conversation that balances his sharp observational humor with a look back at his long career.
For the panel discussion, Maher brings two familiar faces from opposite sides of the political aisle. Democratic strategist and CNN political contributor Paul Begala returns, alongside Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt, who represents Texas’s 38th district. With these two at the table, the conversation is certain to cover the latest political firefights on Capitol Hill and beyond.
