Here’s the Real Time With Bill Maher lineup for Oct. 12
By Matt Moore
An all new episode of Real Time With Bill Maher debuts tonight on HBO and we’ve got a breakdown of all the guests.
Another week, another batch of news for Bill Maher to dissect on Real Time. Last week’s episode featured Maher taking on liberals for publicly confronting conservatives in restaurants. The host’s suggestion was to focus on getting them out of office rather than where they choose to eat.
The featured interview was with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. In her first appearance on Real Time, she covered Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, President Donald Trump’s place in history, and her book Leadership in Turbulent Times.
So with that recap out of the way, let’s look at who the guests are for Oct. 12 on Real Time:
Omarosa Manigault Newman
The top of the show interview will be with Omarosa Manigault Newman, the Celebrity Apprentice contestant turned political aide to President Donald Trump. Omarosa was dismissed from her White House role at the end of 2017. In August 2018 she published her book Unhinged which was a critical review of her time in Washington that grabbed headlines for calling Trump a racist.
Steve Kornacki
In the mid-show interview, Bill Maher will sit down with poltiical journalist Steve Kornacki. Kornacki can bee seen as the national political correspondent for NBC News. Prior to that he was an anchor for MSNBC and was published in The Boston Globe, New York Times, and Salon.
Eddie Glaude, Reihan Salam, Rebecca Traister
The panel discussion will feature a professor, political commentator, and author.
Eddie Glaude serves as the chair of the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University where he is also a professor religion and African American studies. He is the author of Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation in Early 19th Century Black America and has appeared on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.
