The provocative and boisterous series continues its seventh season in prime time Friday, Sept. 25 at 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, with an instant replay at 11:00 p.m.
Host Maher is an atheist, vegan, 420 proponent, animal rights activist and comic who offers a platform for opposing views to dissect the headlines of the day. His show features an opening monologue, roundtable discussions with panelists, and interviews with in-studio and satellite guests.
The roundtable guests this week include economist Paul Krugman and former NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer; filmmakers Michael Moore and John Waters are interview guests.
Maher was the creator and host of “Politically Incorrect,” which was produced by HBO Downtown Productions and debuted on Comedy Central in 1993. A favorite of HBO viewers since his first special on the network in 1989, Maher’s other HBO credits include six hour-long specials.
