Opinion | Does airing Bill Maher weekly mean CNN is ready for a full dive into comedy?

Now it seems as if CNN is going to dip its toes into the comedy world. On Monday, the network announced that the online, post-show segment of Bill Maher’s HBO show will now air Friday nights at 11:30 on CNN. “Overtime” is the post-show segment of “Real Time with Bill Maher” and is a continuation of the panel discussion and viewer questions and answers following each week’s episode of “Real Time.”

“Overtime” will air weekly on CNN starting this Friday.
