The most recent publicly announced Valentine’s‑week episode lineup has Kid Rock, Tim Ryan, and Pamela Paul as the guests on Real Time With Bill Maher for a Friday, February 14 show, but there is no fully confirmed listing yet for “last night” specifically in 2026, so I can’t state last night’s exact guest list with certainty.

Quick Scoop: What we do know

  • HBO typically airs Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET, with one main interview guest and a two‑person panel.
  • For a February 14 Friday episode (promo materials from 2025), the scheduled guests were:
    • Kid Rock (one‑on‑one interview segment).
* Tim Ryan (former Democratic congressman from Ohio).

* Pamela Paul (author and former New York Times opinion columnist).
  • Recent coverage also notes Maher and Kid Rock staying in the news together (for example, Maher talking about texting with Kid Rock), which helps explain why Kid Rock has been a featured booking around mid‑February shows.

Because schedules can shift week to week and promos sometimes describe a planned lineup rather than the exact broadcast that just aired, I can’t reliably confirm who was on last night’s episode without up‑to‑the‑minute listings.

How to double‑check last night’s guests

If you want a precise, up‑to‑date answer for who was on last night :

  1. Check HBO’s or Max’s episode page for Real Time With Bill Maher for the date in question; they usually list the interview guest and panel right on the episode description.
  1. Look at Bill Maher’s official site or the show’s “Headlines” / episode rundown page, which often mirrors those lineups after the show airs.
  1. Search TV guide listings or entertainment news recaps for “Real Time With Bill Maher” and yesterday’s date; many outlets post a short recap with the guest names.
