Imagine my surprise about 8 hours after posting this brief about John Ridley, the versatile writer of comics (The American Way) and films (3 Kings) Friday afternoon, I learned Ridley will be a panelist on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, along with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Sen. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) this Friday March 2 at 11 p.m. (eastern time).

Based on what I’ve seen online, Ridley is one smart, talented and opinionated guy, in a wonderful way. Can’t recall anybody who has written comics on Maher’s show before either… Although my friend John reminds me below The Boondocks‘ Aaron McGruder has been on Maher’s show before.
