HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

His show’s guest bookers haven’t wasted their time off: The opening guest for this 2020 opener is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who’s been quite busy while Maher has been on break. Also scheduled to appear tonight: Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang, and historian Jon Meacham.
