I DID NOT LIE ABOUT TWO BONUS EPISODES IN ONE WEEKEND (BUT I DID LIE ABOUT THEM BOTH COMING OUT ON FRIDAY)

Hey folks, we've got a ride array of stuff this episode as I go through a bunch of voicemails (I'm caught up to August!), and then I break my promise about being done with the Mark Twain Prize and give a brief looky loo at the dinner before the prize, as well as the red carpet for the prize. Bill Maher is so fucking smug on the red carpet I am sincerely lost for words and barely say anything about it. Then, a quick clip from an episode of someone else's podcast, Real Time's old head writer talking about what Bill Maher is like and what he's contributed to the show, bit-wise, and then finally there's a Hollywood Reporter podcast from 2016 about awards, and if you guess that Bill Maher is extremely normal and humble on it... why would you guess that? Are you fucking stupid? Have you heard the show before?! ARE YOU JUST A GOD DAMNED FUCKING MORON WHO'S MAKING FUN OF MY WHOLE DEAL????

I've decided that going forward, these episodes that are sort of pieces together from various bits will be known as "odds + sods" episodes. Please make a note of it.

Adding "odds and sods" to my cork board with at least twelve red strings coming off it toward various photos of bill maher looking creepily at women

Sitting down to an interview not knowing who the interviewee is *can* be funny, but you really need that like, Philomena Cunk setup where a.) We in the audience don't really know this person either and b.) The joke is that the interviewer is very stupid.

Aged 5 years every time he said Muslim.

He totally says Chai Tea and Pita Bread.

This man definitely thinks what he does is on par with what like a neurosurgeon does, doesn’t he? Like he thinks he’s doing us a service by continuing to do real time, even though it’s “thankless”??

mrg

i have yelled it was 1939! at the tv at least once this year myself

Hating Bill Maher brings people together

Myles Dunigan

The part where Mr. Bill says people are coming up to him in public with adulation is 100% a running Alex Jones trope… hmm, old white dudes, claim to be above the left/right paradigm, substance abuse issues, Islamophobic… I think they’d hit it off.

Samuel Cain

I think comedy ➗ s us and that's okay 👍

Samuel Cain

Americans yearn for the Tom Green show

Samuel Cain

Bill says liberals love Muslims and Arabs bc they love Abdul El-Sayed and Zorahn Mamdani even though those people only now got elected like, in the last 3 months ... Aaaand it's exactly the opposite

I also had a very pathetic first heartbreak, but it's not by any means, well into adulthood, my most intense brush with depression. What depresses me is all the shit he ignores.

I don’t know if it’s an algorithm thing or if it’s universal for everyone that watches John Oliver, but Real Time always autoplays for me right after. I watch Last Week Tonight while doing chores and when I hear the credits, I’m programmed to run to the remote and turn off the TV, otherwise it’s, “start the message. bum bum bum bum bum bum buddah bum.” Thinking about it, I’m sure it’s HBO fudging the numbers to justify continuing to air this shit and ensuring it remains in the top five.

trasparenti

Can I just say, in response to the hack free press article -- which reads like something written on autopilot by someone who didn't watch the source material (speaking from experience) -- that at this night where Trump totally wasn't the main event, that Bill Maher's own stupid speech was "interrupted" by his friend doing a Trump impression? That we suffered a 10-minute digression as Bill worked out his daddy issues with fake Trump? Not to mention that they referenced the guy non-stop I mean God
