Patton Oswalt | Club Random with Bill Maher

Bill Maher pours a drink and settles in with Patton Oswalt for a sharp, hilarious tour through comedy, culture, and the weird world we call home. From dissecting Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” to breaking down Trump as the ultimate teenage troll, Patton digs into the line between being childlike and childish, how audiences have evolved (or devolved), and what really fuels creative greatness. They cover how technology accidentally wiped out the classic serial killer, swap stories about Conan O’Brien’s cult-favorite Lookwell, revisit Johnny Carson’s legendary mean streak and his unexpected love for comics, and debate everything from politics to pop culture—sometimes clashing, always laughing. To echo a certain tiny Parisian chef: not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
