With his appearance coming the Friday before the election on Tuesday, November 8th, Obama’s appearance on Real Time ought to be one of the most fascinating in the show’s history even beyond the fact that a sitting President is sitting down with Maher. 

So, this week, President Barack Obama’s interview with Samantha Bee will air on her show, Full Frontal, on this Monday/Halloween. The POTUS will close out the week at another firebrand, political comedy show by finally taking Bill Maher up on his open invitation and appear on Real Time. 

Few hosts as big as Maher have publicly lobbied as hard for an Obama sit down, which should make this, as suggested above, a fascinating interview. 

Watch it on Friday, November 4th on HBO at 10PM.
