Bill Maher jokes about ‘Overtime’ debut on CNN: ‘Did they go nuts?’ | New York Post

Longtime HBO host Bill Maher feigned shock as his post-show segment “Overtime” made its debut as a standalone program on CNN.

“Overtime,” the extra segment in which Maher and his weekly HBO “Real Time” guests answer questions from the audience, aired for the first time at 11:30 p.m. ET as part of last Friday’s episode of “CNN Tonight.”

“Are we really on CNN now? CNN, what, did they go nuts for putting us on there?” Maher said. “No, I’m thrilled. The world needs a good CNN, so I’m very happy that we can help out any way we can.”

CNN announced last week that “Overtime” would air weekly in its Friday night primetime lineup. At the time, the network said the “Overtime” setup “joins several other recent partnerships between HBO and CNN.”

CNN must be trying to save them selves. Once a reputable news outlet. I would like that it would be doing this because they actually wanted to return as a reputable news source.
