REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER
CASE STUDY
SENIOR SEGMENT PRODUCER
Helping Every Guest Shine on Live TV
CHALLENGE
Even seasoned media pros think twice about an appearance with Bill Maher on his weekly HBO talk show, REAL TIME. The program is shot live or live-to-tape, meaning there are no do-overs.
As Senior Segment Producer, I was a de facto media trainer every week for prominent politicians, journalists and thought leaders who couldn’t afford to blow it on high stakes national TV.
The proof of success showed up on the air every week, with impactful conversations unlike anywhere else on late-night TV and guests who wanted to come back on the show time and again, all fueling REAL TIME’s 20+ year run on HBO!
