Bill Maher and "Weird Al" Yankovic randomly riff on why Bill moved from his first house, Al’s birthday gift from his wife, the most common joke in a writers’ room, the famous people who went to Al’s high school, the making of the new Weird Al biopic “Weird,” Sacheen Littlefeather’s awful treatment by the Hollywood establishment after she accepted the Oscar for Marlon Brando, the movie Quentin Tarantino has to make, and Al’s strict rules for life on his tour bus.

Weird Al is a classy guy. Never a harsh word to say about anyone, not rude and he seems really sweet.
His Parody of Cher was funny.
Musicians who have played with him say about the same.
I met Al twice (in 1996 and 2001). He was very nice. A true class act.
Unlike Al, Bill was pretty blitzed by the end of the interview. I wonder if he’ll ever watch it sober and realize that his talent goes downhill the more hammered he gets.
@@andrewferguson8032 Pretty sure Maher gets blitzed more or less every time he does this show. Watch the episode with Woody Harrelson. Them dudes were FLYING.
At 32:30 when Al says he's political but he doesn't talk about it publicly. What a class act! Kind of an old school mentality!
If more conservative Christians were like Al, the world would be a better place. 👍
You can tell by Weird Al’s body language he has such a genuine interest in people. Look how he leans forward and listens intently. Just so respectful and down to earth.
SUPER DOWN… to earth 😂
I think he is trying to figure out why he is there.
Lol Bill should be the one listening
It was so nice for Weird Al to show up to the podcast and listen to Bill Maher speak.
He was trying to get him to open up. Seems like Al would rather keep his inner thoughts to himself and doesn't really like these kinds of interviews. He was pretty tight lipped on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast too.
I'm ok with that
😂😂😂
That's 'cause Al is squeaky clean and Bill's messed up.
Thanks for the comment, saved me an hour.
Weird Al is a great listener! Doesn't drink or smoke, just leans forward and listens intently to Bill riff. Who knew?
Although it's probably a bit disappointing, having Weird Al as a guest but now I'm 30 minutes in and it's mostly Bill talking about himself again. 🙄
I knew that about him, from past accounts and interviews...He's just sober, friendly, honest...SO refreshing, eh? And the magnificent hair!
@@Fiat_Lux_23 here to say the same thing. What a waste
@@Fiat_Lux_23 so what else is new ?
Bill with no wife,no children.A classic set up for self absorption. Just like his
guest from a few week ago..Aaron
Rodgers .
@@alienjournalism I mean to be fair Al is pretty boring lol
Crazy for Al to have so many years in show business yet still be so pure of heart and mind.
that's cause he was raised right
Unlike the person interviewing him.
Well said…
Actually it's NOT an interview, it's two people having a conversation.
U have to consume a lot of babies blood to be that pure
Weird Al is actually too wholesome for Bill Maher. This felt like Bill's therapy session.
I kept saying "Read the room Bill!" - Al isn't going to bit on drug or kink talk. Why do that to Al except so Bill can hear himself brag about his rich man lifestyle.
Weird Al is an amazing human. I've been a gigantic fan since I was a little kid and this man has never once let me down. The man is a treasure!
I’m 18 and I grew up with his music videos 😂 he’s great
Amish Paradise is truly a masterpiece.
Yes. A masterpiece....song AND video.
'Like a Surgeon' is the one that I am most in awe of.
The 25-year-old rumor is he got beat up for it is it true I still don't even know
@@mikechavez4020 I read somewhere in the distant past that Coolio (RIP) wasn't happy about AL using his song. I never followed up past that to see if he sued Al or how that was or wasn't resolved.
@@micahlively8321it was resolved. Coolio was cool with it
Weird Al is an American Treasure. He has made a plethora of highly-entertaining, , musical and funnier than hell music video. His band deserves great credit for being able to play any kind of style to perfection. Tacky is one of the greatest in his catalogue.
Nah, he's a hacky asshole that steal from people with actual talent. Fuc Al
Best cover band in the world.
@Tim Eskew
Al’s not a gimmick, brother. Al is an American institution like Dodge or baseball.
Al putting his movie on Roku FOR FREE is the kindest move I’ve ever seen from an artist. Plus, it’s very very funny and the cast did such a fantastic job.
He has no say in where his movie goes
@@LordZedd123 Just like every other entertainer, he is a bought and paid for puppet.
It isn't free - Roku puts a ton of AD's on it. and, the film was very low budget, and Roku paid for it.
@@fredpittman1972
How much did you pay to watch it?
@@shanestephens4728 There was about 15 mins of ADs… so whatever that equals
It’s so cool to see Al like this. He looks super healthy and happy. He’s basically had a model career. Not saying he’s perfect, but he’s pretty darn close from a PR perspective and he’s been incredibly prolific musically speaking.
He’s straight laced- doesn’t do drugs or even smoke weed, and never has. He said he’s been drunk a few times in his life but very rarely. Al grew up with super strict, conservative parents as an only child, so that had a powerful influence on his personality (he rarely even curses, either in his music or in conversation) and self-discipline.
Prolific is correct. The fact he’s stayed culturally relevant, especially with original music, for decades longer than almost all the artists he parodied throughout the years, proves a talent that too many don’t give him credit for
Prolific is correct. The fact he’s stayed culturally relevant, especially with original music, for decades longer than almost all the artists he parodied throughout the years, proves a talent that too many don’t give him credit for
very true….and he’s still bookable
@@brutustantheiii8477 And it has been a very stable band since the early 80's with pretty much the same members all along, playing just about any type of music. Very consistent as well, and the silliness of it all is quite misleading. Their "Bohemian Polka" sounds so goofy, but upon closer inspection, it is also a very hard song to play.
I love Al. I have pics of my kids on his bus. Funny, congenial, and always good natured. What a down-to-earth, real guy. Such a treat in a town full of phonies.
The secret to communicating with Bill is to let him talk until he is tired or run out of things to say and then it’s your turn as a guest to speak.
Watching bill be raunchy and al just taking it in stride is hilarious.
I'd say Weird Al was doing far more than "taking it all in". I'd say he was being a very gracious guest on a "show" that did nothing to feature him in the least and did everything to indulge Maher's narcissism.
@@vbros7 that's literally his show and his character/mo. If Al didn't know that (and I'm not saying he didn't) then that is his fault.
That would be like going on Howard Stern and being upset he used dirty words or wasn't PC.
@@vbros7 -- Did nothing to feature him? He is giving him a platform where Bill is still relevant and Weird Al was relevant for a single decade. You seem like you have a personal issue or bone to pick with Bill
@@j.ballsdeep420 Weird Al has and will always be relevant.
@@vbros7 I like Bill Maher, but he was definitely letting his self centered narcissist flag fly strong
Weird Al not knowing that the podcast started is hilarious
He thinks he was just sitting there randomly bullshitting with Bill, like they were in a dressing room just getting to know each other before they go on a set. 😂
They all realize it eventually
That's the 3rd or 4th time that's happened.
@@Ms.ScorpioRising its a "creeper podcast"
@@JakeWitmer why ?
Guests like Al are why Club Random is the best show on the internet.
People like AL are the worst humans in history. Talentless asshole that stomps over others art.
You have got to be kidding me. "The best show on the internet"? Apparently you haven't seen ANY other show on the internet...
@@vbros7 For the last 15 years I have forgone sleep in a quest to watch all of the internet shows. I've watched 0.08% of them so far. Club Random is the best.
@@vbros7 says the guy who clicked on this video
I grew up with Weird. I was never a fan. I just did a complete 180. Holy shit what a delightful human.
If "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" would have come out in theaters, I think it would have had a good opening weekend.
Agree.
Maybe it's just me but I didn't like it
The Club Random format especially shines in this episode with Weird Al. Us as viewers would never get this commentary in the typical late night show. Love this behind the scenes, so interesting, and really hope to see more Weird Al work in the future...fantastic episode
I played Amish Paradise last week when hanging with a buddy and prefaced it with "I wanna hear some throwback rap." He got so mad but once Al's voice kicked in he was beyond happy. Al has that effect on people. What a gift.
How has Weird Al stayed so vanilla all these years? He really is a decent human being.
What's even more amazing is that he's not from a self-deprecating part of the country.
He’s never done drugs or smoked weed and rarely (according to past interviews) drinks. He’s a remarkably self-disciplined guy. He can have it, I’ll smoke and drink with Bill 😂
by staying away from everyone
@@coreypayne9401 oh he smokes weed lol
Wow weird Al is such a polite warm person. How could anybody not like him, good dude. Of course I love Bill too. Great episode 👍
He was, in his limited way, candid about some personal things...and this is a tribute to Bill, smoothly eliciting at least some weird things about Al, particularly his arrangements with touring, and only seeing his wife a few times a year!..and she seems to be cool with that!?...Al has something weird going on there, for sure!
I tried to watch his new movie today, while the first act had some laughs, it got so bad in the middle I turned it off and deleted the Roku app off my phone
@@EmperorStarscream it was intentionally bad...you're just not getting it...watch it again at 0.5x
@@JakeWitmer I get it was supposed to be intentionally bad, it just didn't work for me
Weird Al is very Mr Rogers somehow
I don't know what is more enjoyable
bill being so stoned he doesn't know what is going on
or Yankovic accommodating it
I love this. Weird Al is such a cool dude.
Word:)
Weird Al, Therapist to the stars.
Since watching a bunch of episodes i now choose the next one based on how Bill is going to talk AT the guest rather than getting to hear what the actual guest has to say...maaan Bill loves the sound of his voice
Weird Al is an American treasure that must be loved and protected at all costs. Thank you Al for everything you've made including UHF ❤
Finally, someone I can watch without retching. I am going to enjoy this, I'm sure.
He has his hits and misses for sure.
For me only one dud guest so far, the fellow who repeated everything at least three times in a loud, irritating voice, a sports guy.
Got tiresome quick, it's the only one where I starting fast-forwarding it back to Bill.
How dramatic
Four Tops have got your song - Retch Out I'll Be There
Al is such a good guest (and company). He's leaning forward, always paying attention to the host, showing interest the entire time. That's a very cool thing.
Weird Al is very unique in the music business.Hes had major success selling records of his versions of other people's songs.
He is the only parody artist starting in the late 1970s until now.
Comedians would do funny bits incorporating music putting their own funny lyrics to a song or something,but nobody did it like Weird AL .Al just came along at the right time he is a niche musical artist.
He writes a lot of originals too.
Eco warrior Bill flying on private jets...of course.
And burning up oxygen producing plants. Every time he lights up. Jk
Every time I see him light a joint ( or even worse, a pipe) with a zippo. I want to slap it out of his hand.
I love Club Random, but this was a good one. I loved how Al is so engaged, but they both laughed alot, and seemed to really enjoy each others company.
UHF is a masterpiece
It really seems like it was just two buddies catching up and shooting the shit. Great stuff.
Agreed ... I just wish Bill would have allowed Al to talk more ... or ... Bill ask more questions ... js
I never actually watched UHF. It looks hilarious.
@@robertnaumko I'm just happy he's a Guest.
If this man is not in the super bowl half time show soon, we have failed as a nation.
He's too real & wholesome for that. Wouldn't be surprised if he declined even if he were offered, not that there's anything wrong with doing that kind of performance
Exceptional episode!!! Al is a great inspiration. I've been a fan since I was 7. Al is twenty years older than me and Bill is of my deceased dad's generation. Hearing these two laugh and wax poetic about "the good old days" reminds me of my father's stories. Dad took me to a Weird Al show in 1993 and loved it!
Al is and has always been one of the nicest entertainers around. Never a hint of scandal or complaint about his behavior. Bill should have let him talk more.
Al is exactly what id expect .. and exactly what i want. I can't put a finger on it but he brings me so much comfort.
That’s because he’s non-threatening and unchallenging to you.
What a cool guy. I've seen many concerts. Pink Floyd in 1989 and Weird Al 1999 are easily my top 2. Al is an unbelievable entertainer. If you ever have a chance to see him, do it, it's worth the money.
Weird Al, I love you. You are such a good person and I hope you know how much we out here love you. You're so intelligent, polite and just an awesome person.
Thanks for being so funny Weird Al!
Sincerely,
My Childhood
Weird Al is the man! Great episode!
I love the dynamic of one guy gradually getting drunker, his speech slurring, while the other dude is 100% sober, just willing to spend time with his slovenly friend.
For real lol
🤣 Sobriety is overrated.
…not quite. it’s bill maher. that’s his voice. and it’s going to take more than that to get him slurring in an hour.
You could tell BIll was pretty high by the end of this one lol But Al was very gracious and patient with him
Weird Al made kid me very happy with his parody songs from Eat It to Smells Like Nirvana. Kind of lost track of him after that but always appreciated his talents and humor.
Yea pretty much the same hearing them two tunes you said, wondering did they just focus on those other than the music he's done recent I guess.
Al is timeless. One of the first albums I bought back in the 90s was "Alapalooza" and it changed my life 😆
Livin' in the Fridge? Was that on there? And polka Bohemian Rhapsody?
@@jackhackett80 Hell yeah! 😄
Ah another great episode watching a guest listen to Bill
Bill says he can be friends with people quickly, but he never lets them speak!
I say the same thing. Really interested in learning more about Al, and Bill can't stop rambling about his BS. Yet here I am, back again 😂 Felt the same with the William Shatner interview
Weird Al did a great job interviewing Bill here, I feel like I learned more about Maher than ever before
Bill does ramble on sometimes, but Howard Stern takes the cake, that guy doesn't shut the hell up. His podcast is irritating.
Bill brings up gay sex a lot for a straight dude
@@Albinoman887 I was thinking the same thing but decided against saying something. He couldn't stop talking about anal sex with that one guest, the conservative podcaster who happens to be gay.
Weird Al is very wholesome, which is exactly what I'd expect.
Don't write any music, cause then you'd have to expect him to steal it and make the whole thing into a fart joke. Fuck AL.
The most Bill Maher thing Bill Maher ever said:
"I played Carnegie Hall once. They should get over themselves."
😂😂🤣😂
Al: I lost my sense of smell a long time ago.
Bill: Oh, is that right?
Al: No.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite show so far. Please do another one with Weird Al soon!
Weird Al is the man! So are you Bill for having this podcast with him ❤ keep them coming!
Kind of funny, Bill said he knows nothing about hockey. He is wearing a hockey t-shirt. 😄 love it.
A classic example of a high guy having a conversation with a dead- sober guy. I've been on both sides. It's tough to be the sober one. Weird Al rocks!
Wow... I like this interaction between these two, it's somewhat down to earth yet between two famous people... love the humor also🤣👌
Seeing Weird Al at Red Rocks was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
What song does he sing that maybe someone who isn’t a fan might know?
@@HH-gv8mx Go online and watch the video version for Amish Paradise. It's a of parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio.
@@susanbaker2796 🥃👍🚬🤣awesome one Susan
@@garyny4073 I know, right?! It's a good one!
The first few minutes of this is essentially Bill talking to a therapist.
My first time listening to Bill's podcast. I'm a big Al fan. Thanks for having him on. Enjoyed you both!
A national treasure. Everyone loves Al.
I would trust Weird Al with my kids
I’ve been a fan of Bill almost as long as I’ve been a fan of Weird Al. So happy about this pairing! And a great episode :)
Just checking off the box for bill’s weekly Beatles mention.
Nice I can listen to Bill Maher talking for an hour to Weird Al!
This is such a great show Bill! Watch every episode!
This was so incredibly boring. Probably the worst I’ve listened so far.
@@HH-gv8mx Then click off of it, it is TH-cam…no need for the hating on people’s work…just click off of it.
@@tonyamick8252 Hey I wasn’t the only one who claimed this. I hung in till the end hoping this guest would be less bland and boring than he was. But the only thing we learned about him is that he lives on the bus that he doesn’t shit on and he gets to have anal sex with his wife once a year. Wow. It was like pulling teeth to get them to talk. Or say anything interesting.
Weird Al is an irreplaceable part of my life.
Bill I appreciate the opportunity you provide us to get to know you and the many interesting guests that you have on, Al is a very nice man with a really sound foundation, thank you Bill !
Once again, this is just the guest coming in and interviewing Bill!
So fuckin true!!!! It's friken Annoying...
Yeah, sometimes he's just too high.
Give Bill a break!...Some guests just do not really "bring it" when it comes to talking about certain things that might be really entertaining/revealing...so Bill HAS to contribute more than his share of dialogue!...but yeah, he is narcissistic anyway, so he does not mind talking about himself!
@@curbozerboomer1773 Okay, but it's pretty much with every show at this point. And don't get me wrong! I do enjoy listening to Bill, but I'm certain Weird Al had a lot more to contribute than he did in the allotted time, if given the chance.
This podcast is not meant to be an interview. It's just supposed to be two people shooting the shit.
Every single person who reacted to or reviewed the Weird trailer said the exact same thing; "there's a Roku channel?" Al put them on the map. The movie is so good. There's an all time genius scene in there that's so meta it's like a parody of meta about parodies. "What is it about, eggs?" lol
Thanks, Al, for giving us so much fun for 4 decades--and the "Weird" biopic movie we got to watch for free was hilarious! You're a national treasure.
i remember a neighbor and school friend of mine from the 4th grade making a copy of Eat It for me. Al has been around my entire life. my dad ordered some Spike Jones tapes from t.v. in the 80s. we laughed at 'you always hurt the one you love' and all the gunshots and washboards. that was what he listened to as a young man. he is 89 now.
One of the best Club Randoms so far. I've been a fan of Al's since My Bologna; and a fan of yours since "You know my attorney, Mr. Cohen". Thank You. Glad you were wrong about the mid-terms. PEACE.
Okay, this is the podcast I've been waiting for. Good one, Bill.
Man Bill, can your guests get in more than 5 words a minute
Especially since it's rare to see Weird Al do long-form interview.
Al spoke in generalities the whole time. He never opened up.
As a poster said above, he seemed more like Bill's therapist.
But it was congenial and pleasant and I like to hear about the old days.
I was wondering that too!!
@@johnogrady2418 Al never opened up because when he did, Bill would insert his own opinion and bias on everything Al brings up, plus Bill bogarts the whole conversation and does not allow the guests to speak. We might learn more about Al at Joe Rogan's podcast.
@@isang4432 True what you said, Neil deGrasse Tyson is also just like that.
Glad to see Weird Al. Another interesting guest. The only Club Random I've missed was last week 😶 no Kardashians for me
Agree. Pass on Kris Jenner.
I love that 11 min in, Al is interviewing him.
Weird Al is a very intelligent guy. Too many people underestimate him, and see him as "just" a guy who does take-offs on other peoples' songs, which he is *great* at, and famous for, *but* he also writes original material, too, that is often sharp and hilarious. Unfortunately, in this discussion, Al didn't have much of a chance to show his wit and smarts, because he was trying to navigate Bill at his very stoned worst.
It's a laid back show where Bill is high. That is the point. If you are looking for something deeper then you are watching the wrong show.
Weird Al is so cool. I loved his music videos as a kid. I still laugh at the old ones. He did that appearance with Coolio... so classic.
Al such a lovable nerd lol
I was never a big weed smoker. almost never socially. I was in Weird Al's position so many times, at parties in my 20s lol
It's about time these two met. Both have made show business careers to tell the truth, using humor as their ultimate tool. The Roku discussion was fascinating and hysterical. Today's media continues to evolve. (And so do mobile homes Bill!)
Great guest, great talk, simple 👍👍🔥🔥
Maher has no clue what the truth is and he's never been funny. He's a bitter angry little person.
Al’s career is making sophomoric mockery of pop music, hardly anything really profound, but he’s proven to be quite adept at what he does.
My advice is to watch this as though Weird Al is not his guest, but Bill's shrink. So many paths for Bill to go down with Al.. but Maher really missed the mark here. I went from excited, to total confusion. Weird Al must have been very confused, but Bill just kept going and going and going and going... THE END
Too high.
This Image reminds of when I visited a psychiatrist hospital I saw a man he was tapping and tapping…. See more
Vinex confined the ho
Al’s bands have been topnotch through the years, making the parodies all the funnier.
His drummer,Bermuda,has been with him a LONG time..not sure of rest of band….
His band has been the same since the 80s.
I have the impression that Al is a hell of a capable live singer as well. Bang on pitch! That takes work.
I LOVE UHF!
I still watch it a few times a year. Might watch it on my next day off while enjoying a Twinkie dog!
Spatula City!
Bill, you just pitched your own movie idea. If someone else does it - including Tarantino - it's SUIN' TIME! YOU make the movie! Produce it, man! Bill Maher's second major feature.
I can’t with Weird Al’s hair, his curls are nicer than mine. So unfair.
Laughing at Bill coming to terms with AL explaining what a music tour is... lol
It cracked me up that, while pointing out that the French don't speak English, Maher noted that speaking English is "de rigueur" in other European countries.
Super Interview Bill.. Al is a super guest.. A gem… Loving the show.. 👏👏👏
Bill's fixation on shell station toilet paper is cracking me up. 🤣
We all know what he means!
I worked a movie theater in high school when UHF played. I watched it twice a day for its full run and never got tired of it. Al's new film is an instant classic. Just a classy guy, nice to see he is a really down to earth guy.
I actually saw the tour, it was great! I also saw Al do a live rendition of “What Is Life” by George Harrison and it was outstanding!
I'm so glad you did this interview. Weird Al is great, such a regular guy.
Bill has no idea where the hell to go with this lmao. its like when you are on mushrooms in a room with someone who is not.
"Weird" had me lol-ing often. I was so glad he took on that topic that was ripe for a roast. 🤣💛
It was difficult not to be laughing with them. Great podcast!!
Only Weird Al makes celebrating with
Fuji water cool AND hilarious .
Love it! Bill's getting a little tipsy. Nice to see him loose and not so intense. Al's great too!! Good job Bill.
Intense? What Club Randoms have you been watching?
@@BudFuddlacker no no- I was talking about his regular show.ha!
@@jubie8565 oh LOL, yeah, he's always chill at Club Random. Love the vibe
@@BudFuddlacker yes. That's the first one I've seen. I love it.
@@jubie8565 oh, then you def. should check out all of his prior Club Random episodes, so much great content!
Al being a good listener should not be surprising. He is the best listener ever. He hears an original song. And almost makes it better. On purpose I think. He never rode coat tails. He always added.
“I have my political views but I don’t discuss them publicly.” So refreshing to hear an entertainer say that.
It’s great to see you flourishing Bill!!!
