Billy Crystal's wit, intelligence, realness, and now 'crankiness' is so refreshing and inspiring to me. I'm so glad he is still around and speaking out. LOOOOOOOVE this man!!!!
I'm glad Billy Crystal is still with us. We have lost so many great artists in the last few years. It is good to remember that there are still a few great ones left.
real talk! both these guys have stuck with me since i was a boy. mr crystal truly 1 in a million and mr maher truly 1 in a million! thanks 2 both for years of keeping us listening and watching.
Great, great interview with Billy Crystal: intelligent and funny. The man will have 70 years in a few months, hope he stays with us for a very, very long time.
My mind goes back to the times of Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robin Williams hosting Comic Relief USA......they raised a lot of money to help needy people.
“Soap” and “Running Scared” are my two favourites of Billy Crystal. Billy made a very important point at the end-what type of world are we leaving for our grandchildren?That is something I wonder often as I near 60.
This is just what I needed. Billy Crystal is super hilarious. You always forget how hilarious he is because he’s not all up in your face funny or raunchy. He’s just very witty and has amazing comedic timing and delivery.
Crystal is funny without a profanity dependency because he focuses on his content in a sophisticated manner. He once claimed that the difference between a comic and a comedian is that a comic says funny things but a comedian says things funny.
Billy Crystal ; one of America's greatest national treasures, I've loved him since I saw him for the first time in the sitcom "soap", it's amazing that they never had a remake.
That was truly refreshing, two great minds. I am only guessing that Bill doesn't have the same level of 'crankiness' that Billy has, simply because he's always out there punching through the crap and saying what's on his mind..
Billy Crystal has this amazing ability to make anything funny. and still be incredibly tactful one of a kind. how did I know that he was going do his impression of Howard Cosell he is brilliant. thanks Bill Maher for this interview. I needed the awesome laugh.
You can tell that Bill Maher genuinely loves and appreciates Billy and his sense of humor. This was a nice break from the usually more serious interviews. I know this had its serious moments too, but you know what I mean. Maher was right to start the show off with Billy. Thanks for this.
Listening to Billy Crystal was the first time I had so many belly laughs watching a Bill Maher piece. Bill M. is good, but he talks about such serious subjects that it's sometimes difficult to laugh. It's nice to laugh out loud for a change.
He is brilliant. Please get him to host something instead of these shock comedians who thinks denigrating people publicly or doing edgy jokes is the only way to put on a good show.
if Mr. Billy Crystal ever comes to Houston, TX I'm going to see him. so sad that I will never get the opportunity to see Robin Williams but Billy is a great comedian and here he speaks truth to power. I love it and would love to be in the audience.
Smooth Operator they rehearse the interviews dumbass. All talkshow hosts rehearse when they have a comedian on, regular guests probably it's just a vibe and a few points but comedians always rehearse.
Using the 1st amendment to shit on the 2nd amendment is like using birthday money from your sister to buy a gun to kill your brother... like telling a stream to rise higher than its source.. you are criticizing the document which is giving you the ability to even do that. You can’t have the 1A without the 2A, and you can’t have the 2A without the 1A. It’s like if your body told your legs that they weren’t necessary. I don’t own a gun, but I think people who hate police and then turn around and only want police to have the guns is honestly laughable.
Big thanks for Billy for speaking out against the hypocrisy at the Emmys regarding Spicer. I thought it was disgusting. Spicer was not doing his job. Had he done his job he would have quit in public stated that he can no longer lie for the dictator wannabe. I remember when one of the reporters on RT quit on air during the start of the Ukraine conflict. That's how you do it. Had Spicer done his job as an american he would have done it the same way instead of prolonging this mad mans rule.
As far as I know, Hollywood tells stories. If guns are not a contributing factor to those real life stories, they probably wouldn't be used as frequently as they are in Hollywood. Guns represent a lot of good and bad. In my opinion, they represent entirely more bad than good. They are an extension of moral and immoral violence that exists within our human psyche and are vehicles used to fulfill our desires to enact some kind of formidable justice in a quick and decisive manner as well as an explosive gavel to maintain some form human law. Guns give entirely too much power to individuals with evil or corrupt motives.
No doubt, America does love guns and the truth is, the tragedies that do occur like in Las Vegas most recently are the price we pay. That factor, is neither good nor bad in my opinion it just is.
Geico - what a f*cking sad way you view the world. "the price we pay"? So, everytime you go out to eat at a restaurant the waiter just happens to pull his pants down a PISS in your water glass? And you're like, "well that's the price we have to pay" Damn dude, you gotta care more about life.
Agreed. But I will say those who use the 1st amendment to shit on the 2nd amendment is like using birthday money from your sister to buy a gun to kill your brother... like telling a stream to rise higher than its source.. you are criticizing the document which is giving you the ability to even do that. You can’t have the 1A without the 2A, and you can’t have the 2A without the 1A. It’s like if your body told your legs that they weren’t necessary. I don’t own a gun, but I think people who hate police and then turn around and only want police to have the guns is honestly laughable.
I clicked expecting a new interview with Bill Kristol, surprised that he'd come back after getting eviscerated the last time. One of the best interview/debate moments Maher has ever had was when he asked him if he'd ever met a war he didn't support.
Born during the height of the Great Depression, I'm soon going to depart from life in a country that is in worse shape than when I entered. And that's a shame.
KRAKENN PRODUCTIONS Actually that's how it's always been. Think kings and court jesters! Difference is kings learned from those jesters. That's why they had them around.
When Trump was pushing ' Big Luther Strange' all I could hear was a Pro Wrestler's Manager bating at the camera before a big match.. it really is like wrestling plot on LSD.
Billy Crystal and Bill Maher. These are the Americans I want to see in the media. Love and Peace.
Bill's admiration is touching. He really admires Billy Crystal.
WOW ---- two of my most favorite people together. What a treat.
Billy Crystal is as sharp and funny as ever, and here his humanity really shows through as well.
Billy Crystal's wit, intelligence, realness, and now 'crankiness' is so refreshing and inspiring to me. I'm so glad he is still around and speaking out. LOOOOOOOVE this man!!!!
Billy is a national treasure. Love this guy .
I'm glad Billy Crystal is still with us. We have lost so many great artists in the last few years. It is good to remember that there are still a few great ones left.
Man Billy Crystal was SO on in this. Very well done. One of the best interviews I've heard in a long time.
Billy Crystal lays it down!
Brief. Perfect. Needed.
real talk! both these guys have stuck with me since i was a boy. mr crystal truly 1 in a million and mr maher truly 1 in a million!
thanks 2 both for years of keeping us listening and watching.
Great, great interview with Billy Crystal: intelligent and funny. The man will have 70 years in a few months, hope he stays with us for a very, very long time.
Thank you bill Maher, Have loved billy crystal since SOAP!
He was he first to play a gay leading man on prime time television! That took courage!
jesushatesyoutoo Yep, and I adored the character Jody dallas!
Love him in Forget Paris.
My mind goes back to the times of Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robin Williams hosting Comic Relief USA......they raised a lot of money to help needy people.
And I
Billy Crystal are one the great comedians of all time
Billy Crystal is great combo of very funny man and very smart guy - loved this interview- you rock Billy!
I'd like to see Billy Crystal on Real Time as a regular. He's intelligent, informed and articulate.
It’s too bad to end this interview too soon. I could listen to Billy Crystal all day. So smart and so funny, give me more of this
Billy Crystal was just amazing in this opening for the show. It's so worth watching.
His Son-in-Law(Jared), who he(Trump) loves openly, and his daughter(Ivanka), who he loves, suspiciously... Comedy Gold!
He was great here too, really on his game. Literally every joke landed.
Billy's back! Was depressed for a long time and I'm so glad he's over it. We need him.
“Soap” and “Running Scared” are my two favourites of Billy Crystal.
Billy made a very important point at the end-what type of world are we leaving for our grandchildren?That is something I wonder often as I near 60.
Didn't think I could like Billy any more but he proved me wrong here.
Very well said, Mr. Crystal. Could have listened to him speak about the Trump regime for hours.
This is just what I needed. Billy Crystal is super hilarious. You always forget how hilarious he is because he’s not all up in your face funny or raunchy. He’s just very witty and has amazing comedic timing and delivery.
Crystal is funny without a profanity dependency because he focuses on his content in a sophisticated manner. He once claimed that the difference between a comic and a comedian is that a comic says funny things but a comedian says things funny.

This is an Epic Interview-
2 Bills on 1 Screen !!
And I love both of them!! :)
Bill and Billy, can't be any better 👍
Deep. I love Billy Crystal.
Me too!!
Great appearance and such a voice of reason and humor.
This is the funniest I've seen Billy crystal in a while. Satire with a grin.
Just when I think he’s past his prime, I’m proven wrong. Billy Crystal is a step ahead.
Billy Crystal ..... a flawless Diamond. Great Interview Bill
One of the best opening interviews!! He is so witty!
Such a libtard too!
Bill and Billy - doesn't get any better than that! Love it!!!
EQ-smoove
And you thought they meant it? You wouldn't know sarcasm if jumped up and bit you in the ass.
tw Amen to that!
EQ, if you didn't get the meaning of that song you are brainwashed Christian idiot!
Such a Class Act
Mr. Saturday Night! Brilliant as ever.
He's really sharp. Brilliant.
Billy NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was truly refreshing, two great minds. I am only guessing that Bill doesn't have the same level of 'crankiness' that Billy has, simply because he's always out there punching through the crap and saying what's on his mind..
Sobering final thought. Great show, as always.
OMG, Billy Crystal is hilariously funny. I would love to see more of him.
I have and I can tell you, you aren't wrong.
Billy Crystal is a legend...
Billy Crystal has this amazing ability to make anything funny. and still be incredibly tactful one of a kind. how did I know that he was going do his impression of Howard Cosell he is brilliant.
thanks Bill Maher for this interview. I needed the awesome laugh.
You can tell that Bill Maher genuinely loves and appreciates Billy and his sense of humor. This was a nice break from the usually more serious interviews. I know this had its serious moments too, but you know what I mean. Maher was right to start the show off with Billy. Thanks for this.
V
"His daughter who he loves suspiciously" ROFLMAO! Forgot how much I love this guy.
Love Billy Crystal and how he threw that lady out. Love it.
Still killing it after all these years. Could listen to him for hours. Crystal ain't bad either.
Both of them have a great chemistry together!!!!
Listening to Billy Crystal was the first time I had so many belly laughs watching a Bill Maher piece. Bill M. is good, but he talks about such serious subjects that it's sometimes difficult to laugh. It's nice to laugh out loud for a change.
5:42 Well played Mr. Crystal!
He is brilliant.
Please get him to host something instead of these shock comedians who thinks denigrating people publicly or doing edgy jokes is the only way to put on a good show.
if Mr. Billy Crystal ever comes to Houston, TX I'm going to see him. so sad that I will never get the opportunity to see Robin Williams but Billy is a great comedian and here he speaks truth to power. I love it and would love to be in the audience.
Billy Crystal came prepared!
Smooth Operator they rehearse the interviews dumbass. All talkshow hosts rehearse when they have a comedian on, regular guests probably it's just a vibe and a few points but comedians always rehearse.
God I love me some Billy Crystal.
Billy Crystal....beautiful performer...
When the voice of a comedian becomes the sound of reason. Pretty remarkable!
Using the 1st amendment to shit on the 2nd amendment is like using birthday money from your sister to buy a gun to kill your brother... like telling a stream to rise higher than its source.. you are criticizing the document which is giving you the ability to even do that. You can’t have the 1A without the 2A, and you can’t have the 2A without the 1A. It’s like if your body told your legs that they weren’t necessary. I don’t own a gun, but I think people who hate police and then turn around and only want police to have the guns is honestly laughable.
I’m wondering how amazing it would be to have Billy Crystal, Bill Maher and Russel Brand all on one dinner table
More, more Billy, moreeee I love him!!
If you are like ME a HUGE FAN/Lover of Billy Crystal... Then you HAVE to see his One man Show called,
"700 Sundays"! GREAT, GREAT SHOW!!!
Just friends talking. Good one, Bill.
Billy Crystal and Bill Maher should do a FULL show together and _take it on the road for a year._
Yes! I wanted to hear so much more of this interview.... mostly what Crystal had to say....!
I totally agree wz that Idea
Too few of these intelligent sensitive moral people to make a difference unfortunately.
Big thanks for Billy for speaking out against the hypocrisy at the Emmys regarding Spicer. I thought it was disgusting. Spicer was not doing his job. Had he done his job he would have quit in public stated that he can no longer lie for the dictator wannabe. I remember when one of the reporters on RT quit on air during the start of the Ukraine conflict. That's how you do it. Had Spicer done his job as an american he would have done it the same way instead of prolonging this mad mans rule.
He would have never gotten involved, honestly.
I love Billy been watching him for .years. Terri
Billy Crystal is such a comic genius!! Brilliant!
Mr. Crystal sounded a lot like George Carlin when he was talking about Americas love of guns.
funny, that was Carlin's standup routine. just listened to it on KLOS on Thursday.
Yes, but he didn't say SH*T about Hollywood - Hollywood movies LOVE guns!!!!!!!!!!
As far as I know, Hollywood tells stories. If guns are not a contributing factor to those real life stories, they probably wouldn't be used as frequently as they are in Hollywood.
Guns represent a lot of good and bad. In my opinion, they represent entirely more bad than good.

always fun to listen to Billy Crystal...
Billy Crystal is so great.
What a very wise man, Billy Crystal.
Billy - you look marvelous!
debbiedoodiedandi
Excellent! Thanks for that!
Lmao Debbie!
Love this! Billy hasn't lost it. Robin Williams would be great to hear now also.
Debra Yeah it's really too bad that Robin Williams has passed on, sigh. He was an amazing guy.
Passed on? That dumbass killed himself. What a pussy
OMG I love Billy Crystal!!!!
Two of the best Bills
The Best. Thank you both.
This is the only interview where Maher talked very little and enjoyed the person opposite talk non-stop.
This was a very nice and useful interview!
Anyone else just listen to the audio only prentending it's Mike Wazowski? 😅
Man, I totally forgot about Billy Crystal good to see him
Maybe he's going to swing over to the Stern Show next?........MUHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaa!!!!!!
Awesome!!!
"you're oxygen tent or mine?" - hilarious
I'd watch an entire hour of this interview.
billy's one of the best
Agree!
What’s wrong with mein Fuhrer trump? Another tyrant power crazed
Billy has always been great.
This man is a comic genius. He sits there and makes it up on the fly.
no he's a second rate Carlin
He's doing a George Carlin bit.
I can’t believe I just found him after trump was left office wow just wow he is right about it all
Billy Crystal is the best ever!
Agreed. But I will say those who use the 1st amendment to shit on the 2nd amendment is like using birthday money from your sister to buy a gun to kill your brother... like telling a stream to rise higher than its source.. you are criticizing the document which is giving you the ability to even do that. You can’t have the 1A without the 2A, and you can’t have the 2A without the 1A. It’s like if your body told your legs that they weren’t necessary. I don’t own a gun, but I think people who hate police and then turn around and only want police to have the guns is honestly laughable.
I needed that. Thanks guys.
As soon as he went into HC the look on Bill's face was priceless: he smiled gleefully like a kid watching SOAP for the first time. Such talent.
Billy Crystal kills!
Billy Crystal Pure genius he hits everything right on the money.
Comedy helps us to see how stupid things have gotten without feeling so damn depressed. It also causes us to think. Thank you Bill and Billy.
This is in my bucket list to meet Billy Crystal someday.
Start of interview I am thinking of one thing: George Carlin!!!!!!!!!
Especially the military ism in football.
Huge throwback to Carlin baseball vs football routine
The best interview this year
Billy's still got it. Great interview.
Billy Crystal killed it here
In the words of a young Billy Crystal;
"You look marvelous"
Simply marvelous.
Lol
I love that skit lol
I clicked expecting a new interview with Bill Kristol, surprised that he'd come back after getting eviscerated the last time. One of the best interview/debate moments Maher has ever had was when he asked him if he'd ever met a war he didn't support.
what a great guy....or great guys
Billy Crystal loved, loved, LOVED your assessment on dt. We think exactly the same. I didn't want you to end! Thanks Bill Maher. I needed the laughs!
dt? ..... oh Donald Trump. Yes I agree!! Sorry I'm a bit slow lol
I love Billy Crystal and ,love Bill Maher...💕💕💕💕💕 my two Bills 💕💕💕✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Born during the height of the Great Depression, I'm soon going to depart from life in a country that is in worse shape than when I entered. And that's a shame.
❤️️
Jerry Schleifer : Mr Schleifer, I understand your sentiment. I am not as old, but old enough to realize there are some difficult years ahead.
Jerry Schleifer;
Hope you're still around. Totally understand your post. (And I'm older than you.) I was born in 1937.
What we have now, is shameful.
Hey are you still in that country?
You’re not the man, Ben. You’re a boy…literally.
The time has really come that the comedians are telling common sense, and politicians are telling jokes, and are jokes
KRAKENN PRODUCTIONS Actually that's how it's always been. Think kings and court jesters! Difference is kings learned from those jesters. That's why they had them around.
Susan, interesting...too bad leaders don't learn from comics today! Guess they just don't give a shit.
stormwatcher59 It is too bad. This was a great show.
stormwatcher59 Ha! They probably think they're "fake jokes." Can't see past their own noses!
Chuck Schumer wrote Kimmels monologue on healthcare, but then its only politicans you agree with
When Trump was pushing ' Big Luther Strange' all I could hear was a Pro Wrestler's Manager bating at the camera before a big match.. it really is like wrestling plot on LSD.
Probably going to be the highlight of this season
The Pence and Von Trapp chasing comparison was on point!
small hands, big guns
Billy Crystal for President in 2020!!!!!!
Throw that crystal ball away, man!
