In Club Random, Bill Maher unleashes his comedic wit on an unpredictable lineup – from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Quentin Tarantino and Neil deGrasse Tyson – digging into everything but politics. It’s Maher in his familiar element: one-on-one vibes, unfiltered laughs, and the kind of freewheeling banter only he can deliver.

  • Communists

    Bill lashes out at all Democrats, calling them communists and other names, but he fails miserably at the criticism of Trump, who’s doing everything possible to help out Communist China and Russia. He’s making the USA a laughingstock on purpose to help his communist friends. All I hear is silence from Maher on Trumps antics. Is Bill Maher scared and a coward? Yes, I believe so.

  • What a waste (pun intended)

    Bill has some interesting guests on whom I would love to hear from. But he is always so high all he does is talk over them. Wasted opportunities from a wasted host. Let your guests speak, Bill!

  • Rude

    Jay Leno is a true professional, and twice the comedian you are yet you constantly interrupt and talk over him. I couldn’t listen to any more of the podcast, was just waiting for you to bring up the fact that you never married and don’t have kids…boring and very predictable… NOBODY CARES get over yourself Bill. Come up with some new material and humble yourself.
