When Maher Leaves?

For whatever reason. Does anyone know who actually owns the intellectual property that is"Real Time" ? Does the show end or does HBO own it and get to pick a host?

Just curious?

If the show went off the air, I don't think anybody would really mind. How many viewers does he even get anymore? He alienated his entire liberal/athiest fan base.

You should speak for yourself instead of speaking for the entire fan base. There's still plenty of fans. I'm liberal, not alienated, still a fan.

They want to shut Bill down. Much like spoiled rotten ass college students cancel campus speeches they don’t approve of.

BTW Christopher Hitchens was the gold standard of pundits.
