On this episode, Bill sits down with fitness icon, wellness entrepreneur and straight-talking firebrand Jillian Michaels. Bill and Jillian settle in for a free-wheeling chat that drifts from lighthearted ribbing to debates about public health, politics, and pop culture. One minute they’re laughing about early-morning phone alerts or swapping travel stories; the next, they’re chewing over whether either political party still speaks to the middle. Big personalities and bigger opinions collide, but beneath the jokes they keep circling the same question: how do we stay sane—and a little healthier.

On this episode Bill hangs out with author-podcaster Lewis Howes for a free-wheeling chat about life choices and staying sane. They swap stories on moving to L.A., falling in (and out of) love, and how childhood baggage can push you toward self-improvement—or self-destruction. Bill explains why he’s happily child-free and “married to the job,” while Lewis talks about healing old trauma without drugs or alcohol. They poke at big questions—meds vs. mind-body fixes, meat vs. veggies, woke kids vs. baffled parents—and laugh over a possible 98-year-old tortoise adoption, and Bill’s headline-grabbing dinner with Trump. Mostly, it’s two guys comparing notes on how to stay curious, healthy-ish, and kind of normal in a crazy world.

On this episode, Bill hangs out with actor Terrence Howard for a free-wheeling chat that bounces between Hollywood and big ideas. Terrence speaks about clashing with studios over money, why Empire was both a blessing and a headache, and how an early brush with Richard Dreyfus taught him to fight for every scene. He and Bill riff on environmental junk in our food and air, and Terrence’s belief that music tuned to 432 Hz could reshape everything from space travel to human longevity. Along the way they trade Hendrix trivia, swap stories about celebrity parties and canceled careers, and agree that nailing a close-up still feels like magic.

2025-04-2001:41:11

On this episode Bill welcomes Turning Point USA founder and conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk. The two sit down for a long‑form, surprisingly cordial debate that roams from identity politics to faith, personal freedom, and the state of American institutions. They spar over marijuana, public safety, the limits of adult choice—topics that segue into bigger clashes over homelessness policy, whether safe‑injection sites help or hurt cities, and if Ivy League schools ought to be razed and rebuilt from scratch. A lot of ground is covered in this thoughtful back and forth, plenty of laughter and even a spit-take or two.

On this episode, Bill sits down with musician, podcaster and one-time Mumford & Sons banjoist Winston Marshall. The two reflect on Winston’s departure from the band following a social media firestorm over a controversial book endorsement, how that ordeal exposed the intense pressures of “cancel culture” within the music world and why Winston ultimately decided to speak his mind despite the fallout. They dig into England’s shifting cultural landscape, the rise of political correctness in both the UK and America, what it’s like to navigate taboo topics in today’s hyper-partisan climate, Bill’s own battle with early 2000s cancellations, the nuance of “platforming” divisive guests in media, and how comedic irreverence can serve as a release valve against excessive wokeness. They also touch on London’s changing face, the lure of extremist ideologies, the importance of honest dialogue across the political spectrum and much more.

2025-04-0601:43:29

On this episode, Bill catches up with journalist Chris Cuomo. They get into Chris’s current life since his CNN exit, why he’s suing to clear his name, and reflect on the media’s “scalp-hunting” mentality. Chris opens up about growing up in a political dynasty under his father Mario and working closely with his brother Andrew, how policy fights don’t always match party ideals, and what it’s like navigating scandal in a 24/7 news cycle. They swap thoughts on Trump’s flair for the dramatic, America’s appetite for outrage, the “defund the police” debate, how we lost the art of joking about sensitive topics, and why it’s vital to push back against extremes on either side. Throughout the conversation, Bill and Chris find common ground in calling out hypocrisy, highlighting nuance in politics, and believing we shouldn’t judge people by their worst moments—and they close out with some friendly banter on self-defense, fatherhood, and the value of letting go of grudges.

2025-03-3001:50:531

On this episode, Bill sits down with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd for a wide-ranging, personal chat about her new book “Notorious"—a collection of her incisive profiles of major cultural and political figures—and why she once went viral for a botched edible experience in Denver. The two swap stories about growing up in Washington, D.C. (her father was a detective), how “woke” culture may have dampened the fun on the left, and what still draws voters to Donald Trump’s brash humor. Maureen recalls the times she’s gone toe-to-toe with politicians across the aisle, and she and Bill debate whether Democrats need a showman of their own. Throughout it all, they reflect on the challenges of bridging America’s political divide, the strange alliances they’ve formed in the process, and how a good dinner party could be the real key to bringing people back together.

On this episode, Bill is joined by stand-up comic and podcast provocateur Andrew Schulz. The two swap stories about Andrew’s transition into fatherhood (including fertility hurdles and the emotional roller coaster of IVF), the perils of fame in the digital age, why he once called Fox News out on its overblown “outrage” stories, negotiating free speech in comedy and the ever-shifting rules of social discourse, meeting fans where they are online. They debate America’s “abundance mentality” and how it informs politics, the decline of open discussion in modern media, the rise of cancel culture (and how both the left and right weaponize it), the fine line between comedic license and genuine offense, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, and the peculiarities of personal relationships in the spotlight. They also trade observations on religion, Trump’s enduring appeal, social media mobs, bizarre magazine collections from New York City newsstands, and much more.

On this episode, Bill is joined by veteran broadcaster and cultural commentator Don Lemon. The two discuss Don’s transition away from CNN and his new foray into streaming, the shifting landscape of media bias and viewer trust, the lure of unfiltered conversation versus traditional “managed” television formats, and the political tightrope walk of modern journalism. They candidly dive into everything from Don’s experiences as a gay Black man in the public eye and meeting his husband, diversity and inclusion in hiring, the mystique of AOC, “defund the police,” and how Democrats might counter the MAGA movement without veering into extremes. They also weigh in on the comforts (and occasional perils) of personal freedom. All this, plus reflections on life in New York vs. Los Angeles, the ups and downs of public perception, and much more.

Kid Rock | Club Random

2025-03-0901:54:111

In this episode, Bill reconnects with rock-rap icon Kid Rock for his second round on Club Random—unpacking how they both manage to stay raw and honest in a world that loves to be outraged. Kid Rock talks about why he thought a Bud Light blow-up might be fun for social media. He also teases a new triple album (“Kid MF Rock”), wrestles with “woke” culture’s boundaries, and tries to sell Bill on the idea of finally meeting Donald Trump—complete with a tongue-in-cheek pitch for Elon Musk to carve Trump’s face onto Mount Rushmore. Bill, meanwhile, pushes back on Kid’s defense of Trump—especially around election denial—yet they bond over hating hypocrisy in both parties, not missing shows, and embracing the backlash that comes from speaking your mind. It’s a no-filter chat with two guys who, despite their differences, can’t help but find plenty of common ground.

He also reveals the hilarious story behind his fight scene with Jennifer Aniston in “Derailed,” complete with Brad Pitt lurking awkwardly in the background, and Bill recounts how one of Xzibit’s iconic lyrics made its way onto “Politically Correct” —a testament to Xzibit’s impact on both music and pop culture.

Bill Maher sits down with former Colombo crime family capo, podcaster, and best-selling author Michael Franzese for a fascinating exploration of organized crime, current politics, and America’s shifting cultural landscape. From comparing Mafia code to modern government maneuvering, to dissecting the psychology of leaders, the two dive headlong into the forces shaping American life. Franzese shares candid reflections on his days running lucrative schemes (and why he ultimately walked away), while Bill challenges the notion of how power truly works. They also swap favorite scenes from The Godfather and Goodfellas, delve into Franzese’s religious awakening, how lessons from the mob world can translate into navigating business, politics, and personal relationships. Get ready for a raw, riveting sit-down that blurs the lines between comedy, true crime, and social commentary.

I've always thought that Sean was pretty eloquent in his previous conversations but he sounds like he's struggling now he's definitely aging rapidly. it just sounds like he's struggling to get his thoughts out of his head. well that's our parents mother nature and father time

I wish she would stop interviewing this guy. David Mehmet is one of the most blow-hearted arrogant human beings on the planet and the funny thing is all he knows how to do is right but he's actually not a bright guy. every time I listen to him he just comes off as a blowhard who basically reads A Blog and thinks he knows more than the blog and then the blog doesn't know anything so

I'm a long time actual journalist one of the dying breed and for you to bring this clown on the show to talk about journalism is the biggest farce of all time. this guy is the last thing from a journalist and that's saying something that you got conservative media doing just as bad

Oh Bill, "Color was new to Hitch in 72". Before you have another movie guy on, have me over for 2 weeks. I'll bring a suitcase of movies and my Roku and we'll make a cinephile of you yet.

A George Bernard Shaw reference, now I know I'm smart, or I just remember Shaw from that Monty Python sketch featuring Oscar Wilde, George McNeill Whistler and Shaw trying to take and pass around credit for praising and insulting the King who has to go back up the palace.

So obnoxious. Bill couldn't get a sentence out without Bob overtalking him. Couldn't listen to the whole thing.
