CNN to Air Repeats of ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ on Saturday Night
Bill Maher is moving to CNN. Well, at least re-runs of his long-running HBO late-night talk show are.
The cable news network announced on Monday that Real Time with Bill Maher, now in its 22nd season, will begin airing “encore presentations” of its Friday night broadcasts on CNN. The replays will be broadcast on Saturday nights at 8 p.m. ET and start on March 23.
“The addition of Real Time With Bill Maher to CNN’s weekend primetime lineup marks the start of a commitment and investment into topical entertainment programming that we’re bringing to the weekends,” CNN Executive Vice President of Talent Amy Entelis said in a statement. “We’ve seen that audiences enjoy Bill’s perspective and approach to news and information, and we’re looking forward to the show now being on CNN.”
