Show Notes
Bill Maher sits down with Dana Carvey and David Spade – together – for what feels less like an interview and more like eavesdropping on two flies on the wall… plus Bill. The longtime friends riff on Saturday Night Live war stories, the brutal math of stand-up (bombs, hecklers, benefit shows), and the slightly unhinged psychology of chasing laughs for a living. The conversation zigzags through classic films, old Hollywood, celebrity politics, and the strange new podcast economy. Funny, profane, nostalgic, and sneakily thoughtful – it’s three comedy legends talking shop after hours, with no one trying to win the room.

ABOUT CLUB RANDOM
Bill Maher rewrites the rules of podcasting the way he did in television in this series of one on one, hour long conversations with a wide variety of unexpected guests in the undisclosed location called Club Random. There’s a whole big world out there that isn’t about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it.

ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.”
Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.”

More from Club Random with Bill Maher
On Club Random, Michael Douglas joins Bill for *One Hell of a Ride* — and apparently, that's putting it mildly. From a rehab leak that somehow turned a struggle with alcohol and drugs into a sex-addiction scandal to a tongue cancer diagnosis and the one conversation with his father he hoped he'd never have, Michael has lived through enough plot twists to fill several movies.
On this month's Club Random Classics, Bill welcomes Roseanne Barr for a conversation about whether jokes can save humanity, how Joe Rogan’s doctor helped her, and what her kids won’t forgive her for. Roseanne and Bill revisit their battle at the Playboy Mansion, talk about the comedians who spoke their minds, and do their impressions of George Burns and Gracie Allen. They also get into Pharaohs and inbreeding, Roseanne’s wild pig problem in Hawaii, her pyramid of power, the beauty of Kabbalah, a childhood accident, singleton and multiple personalities, and their interpretations of the Bible. This episode originally aired December 23, 2023.
Hollywood power broker Ari Emanuel drops by Club Random, which is convenient, since he’s also Bill’s agent. As Bill points out, maybe once the book tour is over, Ari can go back to thinking about him!
Can a germaphobe survive Bill Maher’s world—and being left alone for two whole minutes? Howie Mandel returns to Club Random for a delightfully off-kilter conversation about OCD, cancel culture, comedy, and the trouble with getting clipped out of context.
George Santos has been called a liar, a fraud, a fabulist, a convicted felon—and, for a while there, a United States Congressman. Now he’s at Club Random with Bill Maher, which feels about right!
