Guess what? Bill Maher has something in common with Dog the Bounty Hunter.

HBO's snappy sassy salon of politicos, pundits, personalities and professionals all are mixed up for panels that are led by Maher, who dissects the news of the day.

"Real Time" continues its ninth season and marks its 200th edition Friday, January 28 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with an instant replay at 11:00 p.m. following the live presentation. 

The roundtable guests this week are commentator Will Cain, former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell and Georgia Rep. Jack Kingston.  Actor-comedian D.L. Hughley and former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele are interview guests.

Since 1989, Maher has starred in nine solo specials on HBO, including the hour-long presentations “Bill Maher…But I’m Not Wrong,” “The Decider” and “I’m Swiss” (both nominated for an Emmy® in the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special category), “Victory Begins at Home,” “Be More Cynical,” “The Golden Goose Special” and “Stuff That Struck Me Funny,” and two half-hour stand-up specials, plus the HBO specials “30 Seconds Over Washington” and “Comic Relief VI™.”

Maher was the creator and host of “Politically Incorrect,” which was produced by HBO Downtown Productions and debuted on Comedy Central in 1993.  The series moved to ABC in 1997 and ran through 2002.

Other HBO playdates:  Jan. 30 (2:00 p.m., 1:30 a.m.) and 31 (8:00 p.m.), and Feb. 2 (11:00 p.m.)

HBO2 playdates:  Jan. 28 (2:25 a.m.), 29 (10:00 a.m., midnight) and 30 (7:00 p.m.), and Feb. 1 (10:00 p.m.)
