马赫脱口秀 第八季

感谢liegewizard 提供中文剧情翻译

马赫脱口秀在HBO电视台一周播出一次，由喜剧演员兼政治讽刺评论家比尔马赫主持。这个节目和他之前的节目——在ABC电视台播放的《政治上错误》（在这以前在Comedy Central电视台播放）——很相像，节目会请一些嘉宾来讨论当前政坛和媒体上的事件。与之前节目不同的是，马赫脱口秀请到的嘉宾往往对所讨论问题有比较充分的认识，嘉宾中演员和名人比较少。另外，很多嘉宾是以卫星连线的形式参与的。

节目的长度约为一小时，在摄影棚内有观众现场观看，东部时间每周五晚十点直播。节目源自于洛杉矶CBS电视台的第33摄影棚（“Bob Barker摄影棚”）。春季（二月到五月上旬）约播出12集，秋季（八月下旬到十一月）也播出数量相当的集数。由于节目针对的是时事，所以HBO电视台一般在节目间歇的月份不会安排重播，但偶尔如果有一周节目不播的话，会安排重播之前的节目。

Real Time with Bill Maher is a talk show that airs weekly on HBO, hosted by comedian and political satirist Bill Maher. Much like his previous show, Politically Incorrect on ABC (and before that, on Comedy Central), Real Time features a panel of guests that discuss current events in politics and the media. Unlike the previous show, guests are usually more well-versed in the subject matter, and there are fewer actors and random celebrities included in the panel. Additionally, many guests appear via satellite.

It is an hour-long program with a studio audience, airing live on Friday nights at 10:00 p.m.(ET). It originates from Studio 33 ("The Bob Barker Studio") at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. Approximately 12 new weekly episodes air in the spring (February to early May), followed by another such set of new episodes in the fall (late August to November). Because of the live, current-events nature of the show, HBO does not re-air old episodes between breaks, though occasionally a repeat will be shown when the program takes a week off during the season.
