CNN will begin airing this overflow material as a late-night show on Friday nights starting February 3rd.
This will be in direct competition with the Friday night episode of Fox New’s Gutfeld, the seventh most popular show on cable news.
Warner Brothers owns both CNN and HBO, so they control the rights to Bill Maher’s footage.
