Club Random was created in 1997 as a way for Bill Maher to continue speaking his mind and being politically incorrect. The club was originally broadcast on the internet, but later became a series of HBO stand up comedy specials. The club consists of Maher’s thoughts on politics and other current events as well as his own experiences in life. During its run, Club Random has featured unexpected guests as well as some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Alec Baldwin, Kevin Nealon and Jeff Goldblum. With its great guests and popularity, Club Random has brought some of the most hilarious and thought-provoking hour long conversations to late-night TV.
On top of doing a great job hosting, it is Maher’s willingness to confront difficult topics and his humorous take on current events that has made Club Random so successful. Through its many years of broadcast, the show has become a staple of HBO’s programming lineup and earned Bill Maher numerous accolades including 9 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Variety Series. For those looking for an entertaining yet intellectual late-night alternative, Club Random is the perfect choice.
