Time to pick at the scraps of the Mark Twain Prize's carcass- ha ha, just kidding, this IS about the final Mark Twain related media, but I think it's actually pretty interesting. Yes, I'm an absolute pervert and have serious problems, but so do almost all of you (I'm not saying all because I'm leaving room for a few of you to be feds, you fuckers) and he's pretty fucking annoying here across two different media formats.

Thanks for supporting the show.

You know who should have won the Mark Twain Prize instead of Bill Maher? Larry David. That would really have annoyed Bill Maher.

I'm not in la but I'm also battling for my life against ants and I have gotta say ortho home defense insect killer has been really, really useful

it's like ten bucks for an enormous jug and it just works very well. it's safe and odorless and easy

More anti-Irish sentiment expressed here… smh

William

Past recipients of this award are usually touched, honored, and grateful for the distinction, and they typically thank their comedic heroes and peers from whom they learned and cut their teeth. Bill Maher is over here acting like a spoiled, entitled, narcissistic little prick who’s like “suck on it, losers!” Pretty sure that’s not what being a comedian is supposed to be.

Taking notes on fancy-people manners here . . . OK, Step 1: Big-time the interviewer about not knowing what's on the snooty restaurant menu. Step 2: Proceed to order Denny's-level breakfast foods and nothing else. Got it!

Laurie Kilmartin deserves the Mark Twain prize, but she's so underrated, and it's especially tainted now that they've awarded it to BM. There's the Midas touch, then the inverse, the Maher touch, which feels gross to even type or say.

Greg Daniels. He ushered in the TV workplace mockumentary era we find ourselves in.

Josh Hill

Honestly, how have Trey and Matt from South Park not been considered for this?

Will is now a singer, so talented

It’s definitely “fuck-ups of course,” not the f-slur (fortunately I guess??)

Steph Vel

Of all the things said on this podcast “Bill Maher might be capable of honest introspection” is probably the funniest

Kelli Rule

I can't believe he hasn't won it. Maybe he doesn't want it. Lol.

Matt Pearson

Because someone knows that if they did, their nomination would be immediately followed by a South Park episode spoofing that weird Mark Twain clay animation movie but the members of the trump administration would rape twain on that riverboat in space.

Amy Sedaris should get the Twain Prize. Full stop. Also, my brother, it’s a Niçoise salad. Niece-wahhhhz. How are you Canadian?? Also also, Olivia Coleman is the Oscar winner from Peep Show :)

Danny DeVito feels right to me

trasparenti

on the "you must be your own producer" line.... if anything it's an acknowledgment of how little Bill's producers do for him. Like, he's saying that only someone who's their own producer and thus cares SO MUCH about this puff interview could dare to do the modicum of research necessary to ask a mildly insightful (but still pandering) question. Because otherwise you get the diarrhea doo-doo questions Bill asks on his show, presumably (ans sloppily) overseen by his producers because Bill cares so little
