Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - 11/08/24

I apologize that there are so few "official" videos available, this practice by HBO appears to have started several weeks ago. If any are uploaded in the meantime, I'll definitely add them. But I wanted to share what's available before the "bootleg" videos are gone.


Monologue: Losers Look in the Mirror



Bill reacts to the results of the 2024 election in his Real Time monologue.





New Rule: The Great Garbage Election



Here’s the thing: there actually is an island of garbage in the ocean – but the only person who mentioned it during the whole campaign was Trump's insult comic.





Overtime: Michael Douglas, John Heilemann, Sarah Isgur



Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.





Here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes the entire interview with Michael Douglas, award-winning actor and producer who most recently starred as Benjamin Franklin in the Apple TV+ limited series Franklin; entire panel discussion with John Heilemann, Puck’s chief political columnist and national affairs analyst at MSNBC and NBC News; and Sarah Isgur, senior editor of The Dispatch and host of the legal podcast Advisory Opinions; Bill's "Funny Bit"; and the opening part of New Rules. It won't last long, as usual:

but I really enjoyed the regular show tonight.

Maher summed it up in monologue— things might be bad right now, “But we are still going to laugh and tell jokes,” or something like that.

4. Heidelman, or however you spell it, was a waste. The woman, I think is a trumpster. But

I enjoyed the conversation that resulted. Douglas was good.

5. You're right, John Heilemann was the disappointment, I've seen him on MSNBC

Sarah Isgur has been on before and I remembered her as a right-winger, strange for a woman, but we know that they're out there. I guess I expected more pushback, but it only came from Bill Maher. And you're right, Michael Douglas was quite good.

When everything is at stake, some jokes are not that funny.

don't blame me
