Few comics can dish politics better than Minnesota native Lizz Winstead. She'll get a chance to remind us when the co-creator of "The Daily Show" joins the roundtable on Friday's edition of "Real Time With Bill Maher." It should be a doozy of an episode in light of the recent Supreme Court decision. It's also the last episode before the show takes a short hiatus.

Also scheduled for the live program (9 p.m. HBO): Amy Goodman, Jack Abramoff and Fareed Zakaria.
