Just how desperate is CNN for programing? They started using snippets of Maher’s lame show on HBO “Overtime” as part of their Friday night programming, in order to try and compete with late night “comedy”. I don’t like Maher, many conservatives like this turd ever since he started talking ethe wacky woke. I’m still not and will never a fan of this obnoxious clown. No matter what he says or who he votes for.
CNN will start showing the post-show Overtime segments from HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher as part of its Friday edition of CNN Tonight.
The segments will start this Friday at 11:30 PM ET.
The Overtime segments have up to now been posted online and promoted to viewers of Real Time. They feature Maher and his guests continuing their discussion on a range of topics and answering viewer questions.
The scheduling of the segments is the latest move by CNN Worldwide chairman and CEO Chris Licht to bolster the network’s primetime and late-night lineup. He has not yet named a permanent show for the 9 PM ET timeslot, and sources say that one of the ideas considered has been to schedule a non-traditional host, such as a comedian, for that time period. But a range of options have been considered. Licht told the Los Angeles Times, “We are in conversations with culturally relevant individuals from the worlds of entertainment, sports and comedy who can bring fresh and unique perspectives to the news.”
The best jokes Maher could make are about what a laughingstock CNN has become all over the world. I miss the days when Bernard Shaw anchored CNN. He may have been a Democrat, but he didn’t wear his bias on his sleeve like this current crop of losers does.
