Lincoln Chafee is one of them. The former U.S. senator and likely gubernatorial candidate joins scheduled guests former Senate majority leader Bill Frist, comedian Sarah Silverman, actor Richard Belzer and scholar Cornel West on "Real Time with Bill Maher." The episode debuts at 10 p.m.

Chafee's campaign notified supporters of the appearance Thursday afternoon.

"Bill is seeking Linc's opinion on a variety of topics of both local and national interest including: healthcare, the economy, partisan politics, and foreign affairs," reads the message. "Linc has heard over and over again how important these issues are to Rhode Islanders and he is pleased to be able to offer his ideas and thoughts on these and other subjects."
