Bill could have Fran on every single week, and it would never get boring. Love listening to whatever they discuss.
An extra $100 G's to Bill if he can engage with Fran, and keep eye contact without constantly fiddling with all his stuff. His focus stays on more ice, moving this glass over there, that bottle over here, looking for matches, lighting his cigar, pouring the drink, oops, time for more ice, getting a refill, the cigar needs another light, where is the ice!!! ... "now, where were we?"
@@sas6561 lololol
Fran is such a leftist nutjob, i'm glad he got this episode over, I can't stand listening to her
Fran strikes me as someone to enjoy a long dinner with. No smart phones, no interest on the latest on the Kardashians, no interest in social media. Just old school conversation like the old days.
@@Simon-talks ... Maybe when Scorsese does a documentary on you, you will have as much gravitas as Fran. Sorry for your envy and jealousy @user!
I loved this interview because Fran doesn't let Bill interrupt. Finally!
He does have that bad habit.
Kevin Neelan was subtly pointing it out to Bill. Bill has a tendency to make it all about him. Good thing he never got married.
@@dpa103304 many divorces.
@@jamesholland8057 What? He has never been married.
@@SixStryng Mr Subliminal.
Fran was the politest guest on this show that I have seen. So many of Bill's guests speak over him and he speaks over them, creating an unpleasant hearing situation for me. Fran allowed Bill to finish his sentences and he allowed her. Very pleasant to watch. Lastly, she is worth listening to.
He seldom doesn't hold forth, interrupt, and talk over guests. It's like his guests just provide a backdrop for his lecturing
Yeah, I disagree. When I think hosts who speak over their guests, Bill Maher is the first that comes to mind.
Julian Lennon was also very polite and a real gentleman.
That's because they are high.
@@WardenJune So true😂😂😂😂
I can't think of anything better than listening to a conversation between Bill and Fran. Best episode by far.
Fran is great.
I sooo agree!
are you a bot or something?
I wish Bill and Ann Coulter could do their magic again.
@@andrewmclaughlin2701 magic. Funny.
"Do whatever you want, just don't be noisy".
Amen, Fran
That attitude shows just how shallow and ridiculous her philosophy on life is. Imagine even for a minute what would happen if everyone just did whatever they wanted, to whoever they wanted, as long as they kept the noise level down. What an absurd thought. She thinks like a spoiled 5 year old.
Her comments are gold…quintessential New Yorker and American
HOLY PROBOSCIS!!!! with a schnoz like hers, old franny just has to be an expert on NOSY!!!!!!!!
@@Mr._MoonlightI guess they’re just not New Yawkkahs.
🤣
Amazing guest Fran puts Bill right in his place, And that’s always nice to see.
I wouldn't say she put him in his place
Agreed!!
About a hundred times
You DO NOT talk over Fran.
Even Bill doesn’t stand a chance.
This old broad is a whip.
I love her.
@@donmacpherson5498 wise words from an ex Syracuse QB
She is smarter than he is, especially when he’s blasted on the pot.
When your have the Democratic Party confused on WTF an actual woman is I was done! When you have the Democratic Party sending billions to Nazi Ukrainians & homeless folks under every bridge Mississippi & Flint Michigan still with unclean water it’s wrap! 🤦🏾♀️
Long live Fran Leibowitz! She still makes me laugh and think!
Jesus bro..She only looks like the crypt keeper, she's not dead yet
Love her!!
Twas a joy to behold (this episode). Laughed throughout.
Laughed even when I wasn't supposed to! @ (anticipating where
Bill/Fran would go next).
Former SNL head writer Marilyn Suzanne Miller was one of
Fran's biggest supporters. Had us start reading Fran way back
in the Spring of 1982.
MSM teaching a grad level comedy-writing course at Columbia.
No-one quite like Fran Lebowitz. So very sharp - she kills it with every phrase.
I thought she was transgender
Finally, a guest snarkier than Bill
She is hilarious. She should start vaping though
@@colewilliams9432 nah, fuck it. Let her enjoy the cigs
@@colewilliams9432 Beta male. 😂
@Cole Williams did you see the part where a 4-year-old approached her about smoking? Don't be that 4 yr old. No one appreciates it. We all have our own vices. Some of our vices are detrimental to us, and some are detrimental to
others - offering unsolicited advice falls into the latter.
Right! 😂
Two New York attitudes. I love it. Bill has met his match.
Bill really laughed at her snark. Nice
Love love just Love Fran’s straightforward honesty!!!
Yep. This was amazing. They had disagreements but man, Fran definitely cracks Bill up! Her delivery has always been so unique and Bill genuinely finds her interesting and wants to pick her brain…Fran is a legend and its on full display here folks. They weave in and out of serious topics but with a sense of humor which is a classic concoction of “you either get it or you dont.” For Fran & Bill fans, this is a real treat! The real super bowl!
What you said, exactly!!!
This is the way adults talk
Could not have said it better myself!
In fact I didn't say it better
😄
Bill laughs at every guest
I agree. Most excellent and I have an English degree and I'm very reclusive and I rarely associate with people. And I'm telling you, I don't know what her IQ is and I don't know what her background is but I love hearing her speak. She's so fast. She's so on point. It's a beautiful thing
These episodes are why I love this show. Fran is a living legend.
She's such a distorted left wing nutjob wingbat...
a legend of what? she makes no sense
No bs with Fran , love that.
Frans is such a far liftist wingbat nutjob. Even liberal Bill Maher has to correct her.
She’s a brutal realist and ironically hilarious. I miss her regular columns since she retired.
Best episode yet. Fran is a formidable sparring partner in conversation.
Good to see Fran Lebowitz, I haven't seen much of her since the pandemic. She is quick . Thanks for having her on Bill.
One of the few guests that doesn’t let Bill dominate the conversation.
Out of sheer respect
Yeah. He’s becoming more of a bully everyday.
Yeah, I love Bill but he's REALLY bad about this
Pot ramps him up. I’m the same way. I get really manic and have to let out everything that comes into my mind.
@@lolamann4705 lithium will take care of your manic episodes.
I’ve watched this like 10 times. Love these two together!
Every single time Bill lit her cigarette, she replied, “Thank you.” I don’t know what it was about that that made me smile. Love Fran!!
Agreed
If you are old enough, it is likely the nostalgia and formality that brought on your smile. I smoked for a very short time as a teenager because I was an athlete. But I always was quick to light women's cigarettes in clubs because it was an easy icebreaker.
🚬
Same thought
More importantly Bill replied, “You’re welcome.”
I could have enjoyed their conversation for hours. Fran definitely made Bill laugh more than anyone I remember. 😊
Fran is always my favorite guest of Bill's. These two together is an entire vibe!
Absolutely electric between Fran and Bill - loved it.
God I love her. Anytime I see her it is a must-watch because she is so funny, insightful and honest.
she is a political moron. completely out of touch with reality.
She's a smug c@@@.
I didn't think she was a her, and now I feel like a terrible person. I have a trans sister and I still couldn't tell this bitch from a gay man. How the fuck am I supposed to have a serious conversation in this landscape?
She's such a distorted left wing nutjob wingbat...
She's neither, I find her arrogant, entitled, and above everyone. She's weird
What a terrific guest, what great chemistry between
Fran and Bill.
"Excessively surly" LOL many times over - i.e. IMAGINING
Fran as a child/teen!
@@josephkelley8641 she is looking like Muhammar gaddafi circa 76 when he had long hair!!!
@@pikebishop8516omg I knew she looked like someone, but you nailed it lol
Love Fran. Thank you so much for posting this. I couldn't agree more with your perspective regarding children, noise, and traveling.
These are my favorite kind of episodes of this pod. Two people I find very smart just shooting the shit for an hour usually on topics that require some intellect.
They are both very smart. They are not smart because you find them to be so. 🙄
@@JeffreyGillespie q1+q
Wow - Fran Lebowitz!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. My favorite person EVER. What a pair - EPIC. I’ll be watching this one over and over. Damn!!! ❤❤
Excellent episode! My favorite so far. Bill and Fran are two very smart, funny and well matched individuals. Please have her back very soon, I didn't want this episode to end 🥰
Yeah, So smart yet so stupid... Bill knows kids today are clueless on what they learn in school, he even admits Democrats manage the education in this country and says in this cast, 'Democrats own education' .. So, why are kids so stupid now days? It's obviously because of the stupidity of democrats, which think they are smart... yet they are so stupid.
This is this first one I was able to watch all the way through, and in one sitting. Its almost 2am, ugh. As a fan of both of them, it was a great conversation, and I'm shocked that Bill actually let her speak without interrupting as much as he usually does.
Finally!!! I love it when Bill and Fran converse for us all!! This made my day!!!
What an amazing conversation. I’ve never seen Bill so vulnerable. Nice to see.
PLEASE!!! Make this one a series! Fran & Bill Part I, II, III IV, ad infinitum... !!
Let's start a petition to make this a weekly show!
YESSSSS!!!
This episode was a GEM.....and Fran Liebiwitz is National Treasure! ❤️👍
Wish the podcast were longer. I could listen to these two talk all day. I aspire to be just like them in the future. I don't want kids, I don't want marriage. I just want a successful career doing what I love.
VERY HAPPY to see Fran here!
She hasn’t changed one bit. I forgot how much I enjoyed listening to her .
Love this format. It's great watching them smoke, drink and the conversation gets better the longer they smoke and drink!
Nobody say’s “I don’t care what you think” with more class then Fran Lebowitz ! I love it how everybody cares what she thinks….. Nobody cooler
She makes a fine doorstop.
I'm encouraged to see her still so energetic, sharp and youthful. Here's to many more years of her acerbic, wonderful presence on the planet.
BEST Comment! Cheers to that🥂 💓
@@Elhastezy888 Aw thanks. Now I feel ten feet tall 😀
@Skyline Runner 🤩 Oh goody! I'm glad.
Your comment immediately made me think of my mom. How truly truly phenomenal some folks are & there's no pain in the world like watching someone amazing change ..... & then slowly go away.
It's a big deal.
Your sentiment is a big deal 🩶
Hope you have a great day. many blessings
@@Elhastezy888 You're so right about that. Time is a good but merciless teacher, and the knowldge of loss and the inevitability of fading away has haunted me since childhood. I'm happy my words brought your mom to mind, and I'm even happier that you reached out so we could share these thoughts and makke a connection.
@Skyline Runner 🥰 me as well.
I like Fran she’s clever and honestly funny. She can keep Bill inline. 😂👍
⚡️
She's sharp as a tack!! Her reprimand of Bill, "I gave you an example I thought you'd understand!" 🤣🤣🤣
@@hurdygurdyguy1 good point Mr. Bannon.
Fran is a national treasure.
I love Fran. She makes me feel like I can say and do whatever I want.
Me too
Same
The best episode every. I love Fran. She's a national treasure. More Fran please.
This is one of the best episodes thus far, I like when Fran challenges Bill. I suspect he does too!
they have a great flow
Ya but she's willfully iggnorant to hold onto her political like religious beliefs. Republicans volunteer more and give more to charity. The vaccine provides zero immunity. All the race ghettos are run by the Democrats. She's desperate to defend her sacred cow
@@Rays_Bad_Decisions That’s a lot of misinformation. I bid you a good day.
Thoroughly enjoyed this whole show and conversation. My mom said all the things to me that Fran heard in her home. I was told " Children are to be seen and not heard."
Fran Lebowitz is great! Glad you hd her on th show!
Is 'hd' now short of 'had'? And 'th' for 'the'? Crazy 🥴
Fran Lebowitz is the best. This is the only episode I have watched beginning to end. She should be your permanent guest!!
Best Club Random to date. Enjoyed seeing Bill laugh at Fran’s comments, plus they weren’t constantly talking over each other & interrupting. More please.
This is like watching my aunts and uncles getting wound up. I love it. I am 46 btw.
he is 68 and she is 73 and me is 57 and i am enjoying this for this reasons. funny.
One of his lengthier pods and with Fran it still wasn't long enough! Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Love Fran! Bring her back, please.
Fran Lebowitz is a legend and a gem
Best episode yet. This was watching 2 masters of their craft.
As a childless never-married older person, it’s so nice to hear people like me talking about these things that we have in common.
It's almost as if corporate feminism screwed over woman to get cheaper labour...
Sad life.
@@drewmcmahon2629 there are other things that people can connect to. Thank GOD they are showing love to something other then another human being
@David David just had a stroke. You ok David?
@@drewmcmahon2629 You're a mean B.
This is a fantastic conversation. I love Fran so much and Bill and she work well together, agreeing or disagreeing. Excellent episode.
Even though Fran and I have almost nothing in common, you still gotta respect her confidence
Fran...when the eyes go you can always listen to audio books...saved my mother in her later years and she was also a real voracious reader.
And you can do more than one thing at a time!
Please invite her again soon. I can't get enough of her. I want to hear what she has to say about every single thing.
Ewwwww noooo. 🤮
I know right, I can listen to her ALL DAY 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think throwing my ears into a blender would accomplish the same slap.
watch her doco public speaking. It’s literally just her having opinions on everything.
@@bebeemiller3020 I have the DVD. I must have watched it 30 times over the years. She's a treasure.
Fran Leibowitz is a fantastic character. Honest and authentic.
Stop. Fran. So sophisticated talking to a drunk...funny drunk...but aging. She stays fresh with intellect and compassion.
I love Fran! This made my day 👏
FINALLY, the guest I-and, I suspect, many others-have been waiting for.
Ha! She calls out Mayor Adams, 41 minutes in.
I love Fran Lebowitz.
Fran has such a unique brilliant classy style. It is so refreshing to get a peak into her mind.
I love Fran Lebowitz and Bill Maher. Fully compatible with me - Leigh Silverton
I am English, and I discovered Bill Maher 3 weeks ago, through this podcast series. I think I have now watched everything he has ever done on TV, he is a F....... legend! Also I have lived over 50 years, and until 30 minutes ago I had never heard of Fran Lebowitz, she is fantastic!
😎🙄 really?
seek out old clips of his show real time from like 5-15 years ago. was a lot better.
Woman in Australia here - I watch his show and podcast every week and feel a part of being there - check out his #adulting gig- enjoy Brit in Poland 👌😂😎🇦🇺
@@poppyfromaus3888 thank you 🇬🇧🇵🇱
@@xerxes2044 yes thanks, TV shows world wide are all pretty much dumbed down and softer! The podcast age is f..... amazing, because the guest can "almost" be themselves and not play up the formulated "expected target audience " but as a Brit I do prefer the Americans and their podcast shows, Burr, Rogan, Maher etc etc the British seen has gone diversity woke sick 🥱🥱😡🇬🇧🤮🤮 especially the BBC, or as we call it, the British Brain Washing Corporation, or Bullshiting corporation
What a delight ....my two favourites ...Bill and FRAN!!!!
The 'Music of the Eighties' holds up pretty good..! Interestingly enough.
J Seinfeld said that comedy is like a smoke ring that can't be explained. That's Fran Liebowitz--- she's astonishing.🙂❤️💯
Articulate, funny, on point, witty, relevant. Fran is the best guest!
Bill ... the University of Phoenix has online courses that teach how to focus on the other person in conversation. How to listen without rudely interrupting, how not to fidget with your stuff etc. to at least show real or even feigned interest. The courses are reasonably priced. (You're welcome!)
At one point I was expecting Bill to say, get off my lawn! Fran, a delight to have on the show.
Yes!!!! Fran Lebowitz at Club Random! The best.
Great conversation. Fran is great.
Hooray for Fran! Always good to see her with Bill.
I could not love her more! Fran is the most real, genuine person! I feel like I know her and it would be glorious to sit and talk with her like Bill is doing here.
Yes…yes… totally relatable. Most folks buy $30 pots of coffee from the Beverly Hills hotel every morning while traveling.
God forbid we support a local ,small business and buy coffee from them….
Typical.
@@Bruv234 She is the Margaret Hamilton to Greta's Dorothy. Toto is her cigarette.
Except, she's kinda misjudged desantis.. 🤔
Fran is one of the most interesting guests a talk show host can have. Intelligent, humorous, sarcastic & never boring. When alive Joan Didion & Truman Capote were also both interesting.
With the demise of people like Joan, Truman, Andy Warhol & William Burroughs, you'd want a Fran Lebowitz at your party.
They remind me of 2 old friends discussing life from high school and now sharing all their wise stories all the while just loving every minute of conversation Sweet language takes a lifetime
This is why I always attend her speaking engagements when I can. Fran 2024.
I've had the privilege to talk with Fran and I can tell you she is always on. So intelligent and funny and, this may surprise some though I don't know why, nice. She could tell I was a little nervous and kept coaxing the conversation. By far the highlight of my life.
Best episode yet. Love listening in on this conversation. Thank you! 😂❤😂
Better than JACK OSBORNE?
Best CR yet! Fran should have her own podcast.
I could watch them for weeks straight and never get bored😅
The art of conversation. People need to talk to one/another more. It is “thinking out loud” and requires a certain amount of trust. Too many people do not process the thoughts rolling around in their head and only through bringing them out in the open can they be dealt with.
Fran made this her podcast, which is the kind of guest needed to match maher’s vibe
I can tell Bill really likes and admires Fran.
Had to comment when I heard you say women didnt like the film the Godfather…. It’s one of my favourites. When it came out all the girls in my class at school were reading it and we had great discussions about and loved it. Love u Fran👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This was great because Lebowitz is just as opinionated as Maher and more obstinate, so we didn't get an hour of Maher lecturing and ranting his opinions to another celeb without pushback. And because they're friends, she was comfortable on his turf.
I miss her weekly writing since she retired. She’s always been there for all of my sixty years and she influenced my thought process very early on. I was reading her work in The Village Voice before I got out of elementary school.
The best yet, I love Fran Leibowitz!
Best episode to date , congrats Bill and Fran
Many of our youth don't know that this is one of the smartest and funniest humans walking this earth! I love her and have for years.
First time I've seen her and I didn't know who she was. And oh my God I'm thoroughly enjoying it and I'm an English major and I did graduate top of my college for the first 2 years. And then I was pretty much a 3.7 for the next 2 years when I got another bachelor's degree. On top of the associates. And I've always been an Avid Reader of all kinds of things. But not romance novels so much.
This is I think the best interview I've seen out of four. It's mind stimulating. And Bill Maher doesn't know everything about everything as I've seen in other interviews but the two of them are keeping up with each other. And I like to see that
Fran is SO funny!
Made me happy!!!
She kept Bill & us in laughs :)
As hard as he works - it's nice to see Bill
having fun.
Like Tom Brady, I want BILL to be HAPPY.....
Maher really enjoys Lebowitz as I've never seen him do with any other guest. I believe it's totally sincere and the best thing about him. The fact that he continues to interrupt her only shows how much she excites him intellectually.
I was raised the same, and I am Gen X. As a child, I would be quickly escorted out of the room if the adults were talking. A look was all it took to stop me dead in my tracks.
I LOVE Ms. Lebowitz! I've always thought running into her on the street would be so awesome.
I think this is my Favorite episode.
Nowadays kids can use every profanity in the book and threaten adults whenever they want because punishing them is racist.
I can really relate to Fran in so many ways. I too don't care enough to have streaming or a cell phone and people are aghast.
Bill and Fran…best podcast ever! Fran is an amazing person and your wit and Fran’s wit Bill had me laughing. Made my day!
Almost two hours, that's a sign of a good guest.
Thanks for this Bill. Shows that 2 different intelligent people can have a very good chat. I love to talk too!
I thought I'd pee over Fran's story of correcting the grammar of the thug-looking guy on the street. I'm still laughing. She can't help herself. Love this woman. I wish I could hang out with her in her apartment with 10,000 books --literally!
Remember ma'am "the plural of mouse is mice not mouses"
The 'Mice' story is just amazing in so many ways. Thanks for her, him, and the whole of this...life.
I love Fran. Such a quick wit.
So true, and yet I wanna tell her she's unattractive and testosterone. I hate the confusion.
Is that still LEGAL?
@@jasonanthony4659 You're basing her value on her looks???
If you find old interviews of her on David Letterman, she was actually hot in her 30's. That's what a lifetime of smoking will get ya...
