*Jon is very reasonable person. Well spoken, understands the issues and understands what he doesn't understand. We need more level-headed people like him.
Bill could learn a few things from him, if only he’d listen
It’s a real mad man time… idk
Jon Hamm is a Pisces. Mahar is an Aquarius.
*Jon
Seems like a cool dude.
The best yet. Hamm is a great conversationalist, not overbearing, thoughtful, very likeable and intelligent. Two hours flew by. What other show in the internet or anywhere can sit someone down for two hours and just jabber back and forth with laughter, thoughtfulness, and keep one's attention? Bravo Bill.
Joe Rogan
What I loved about this talk was that John knows how to talk with Bill. I love Bill to pieces but he can ramble and often not give his guests enough time to express themselves. John knows when to insert himself and keep the convo a bit more on equal grounds.
Mahar has turned into a maga but love Hamm.
Bill needs Jesse Ventura!
@@gingergrant6759
Seriously, what the hell has happened to Maher?
You nailed it!
i like hows johns optimism is so magnetic.. that it even pulls maher out of his cynical dark abyss
Never seen Bill as respectful and genuinely responsive as this; i think Hamm, clearly intelligent and informed as he is, did his subject research on Bill in 'club random mode' and formed a game-plan for actually having a meaningful discussion with someone he respects without the default quick-fire sarcastic opposition and wilful misunderstanding-interruptions from the host. loved this one.
man crush
Totally agree 😊
Yes, completely! I'm toward the end and loving how much John has been interrupting Billy. It's a totally different experience with Hamm. 🎉
He's Wrong on tax rate and most other things he mentioned,,,
Hamm should have his own late show - smart, charismatic, funny and genuine.
He’s suburban PMC smart - not smart enough to carry a show and develop deeper insights.
@@MorePlausible Darling, you have been watching James Corden for too long. It has altered the state of your perception
Current talk show hosts suck. Anyone could do better but John would kill it.
he’s so hot
And Americans will hate him for every single opinion he have to say ?
This is the best version of this show. Jon Hamm is a great hang.
Missed booking the Vegas trip. Next round maybe🤩
Tune in to Club Random when Bill has guest Woody Harrelson and Mark Cuban. Very entertaining. But some of Bill's guest were very boring and seemed like they were FULL of themselves. Gene Simmons & John Mellencamp were pretty disappointing. I don't think they even laughed once.
I'm a 47 year old man who is straight as an arrow. But that damn Jon Hamm seems like the best friend we all wish we had. Great interview/conversation. Bill great episode as always.
Why does being a straight man have anything to do with wishing someone was your friend?
@@glengamble526 don't worry about it... live your life bro... dont Inject yourself into someone else's values
Here we go. Everyone argues now lol. Can't we all just get along
@@glengamble526 8:53 right there Glen. Right there.
@@glengamble526 Because deep down he’s attracted to Jon.
Mr. Hamm is such an intelligent, thoughtful man. And no question that he is an accomplished actor to boot. Enjoyable conversation, a good show.
Incredibly funny too.
And not to bad on the eyes.
@@debrajosephs 🙂
Why can't someone like Mr. Hamm be president
He'd be the perfect dinner guest at every party.
Jon knows exactly how to "yes, and" masterfully which made this conversation flow smoothly (despite Bill's constant mid-thought interruptions).
Don Draper was the role of a lifetime for any actor.
And Hamm nailed it. Great cast and amazing show
@@brianmeen2158 i still watch that show once a year, from the first season to the last.
and i will continue to do so. one of the best TV Dramas of all time.
@@kristopherryanwatsonI do the same thing. It’s my comfort show and one of the most intelligent shows of all time
He literally acts the same in every job he's acted in. He's not that great of an actor. Nice to look at but that's it.
@@soupnfreshhe IS Don Draper! ❤😊
Surprisingly good conversation between the two. Jon Hamm was very graceful and knew how to calm down Bill and stop him from going on a rant.
😂 true.
This was definitely one of the best conversations I’ve watched of Club Random’. Hamm breaks all stereotypes! Salute
I was just about to comment that while Jon Hamm was great, Bill was terrible. He is absolutely stoned out of his gourd and I feel embarrassed for how he’s making a fool of himself here. No?
40 minutes in and I am feeling the same way.
I mean everything they said about the writers strike was childishly stupid
Saluté
@@christinemaney2294 no way bro. Who wouldn't want to stay 16 years old for life? Maher is clever enough to actually pull it off
Jon Hamm is so far the best guest. He can talk with knowledge about anything. Very smart guy. Top episode.
I mean everything they said about the writers strike was childishly stupid
Hes all wrong about book names and authors names, clearly hes lying and never read any of these books
Trying to think who was more enjoyable than Jon Hamm? Smashing Pumpkins perhaps? Jon even mentioned Peaky Blinders!💞
@@jannichi6431 rfk junior
No. There were better guests.
John Hamm is an intelligent, compassionate man. Love his positivity, a rare character trait these days! Best interview intellectually 👏👏
Bill is very much a “let’s talk about you ok that’s enough now let’s talk about me” kinda guy
when he's doing weed and getting drunk he definitely gets way amped up on this
Don’t say anything bad about Bill, or else his stans will come after you
Sure, Captain Woke.
@@itspossible2015 so you mean, always.
Me, and Woke, and Covid, and Me, and Woke, and Covid, and Me. And Woke. And Me. And finally Me.
Jon is extremely good looking, successful, funny, tall, and seems like he's a genuinely nice guy.
What a jerk.
Also has a giant hog
For Jon being a man of the African Americans he lives in a neighborhood with ZERO African American.😂
Lmao
@@dwm1795 😂😂🔪🚬🥃👍Tommy Lee of motley is jealous
@FIGHT + don't fight the world 🌎🌍
Man, I was just thinking the other day how great it would be if Jon Hamm would be in Bill's podcast. I open youtube and I see this. My day = MADE!
Jon is a naturally funny person. Quick wit and observant. The guy who can keep up with any conversation , especially with Bill Maher who seems to know something about everything. Good talk.
Well, Bill THINKS he knows something about everything....
Yes, Bill Maher thinks he knows everything. Which he does know a lot, I'll give him that. However, he interrupts his guest much more when he's drinking. I think he has low self esteem. He has some issues and they certainly come out. I don't think he should down the democrats the way he does. They are the caring party....certainly not the Magas.
@@thepoptartethat's just Bills personality as a Talk HOST for so long yet it's more controlling the conversations when he's drinking & smoking. He certainly should LEARN to listen more to HIS GUEST. I'm tuning in to listen mostly to what his guest have to say. I only saw one guest on the Club Random who seemed to be an ass in real life.
@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOROh come on! Don’t leave us hangin’! Ya can’t just say that & not tell us who the asap is! Spill the beans 😉
@@ileana6281 I'll give no name yet just say that he's a musician and one that I liked in his more popular time with hits. Worse than Kidd Rock who's totally full of himself.
“To play….TOUR of Duty or whatever.” 😂 laughed out loud at that one 19:20
:p
Yeah video games suck
New found respect for Mr Hamm🫡Great Guest!
Best Club Random so far. Jon Hamm is such a great guest selection!
Wow! Great stuff! I love when Jon Hamm uses the James Brown comparison. He's a witty dude. AND, he speaks sensibility about therapy. Thank you, Mr Hamm!
Please bring John back this was such a great conversation! I could’ve listened to another 2 hrs. Two regular guys just talking about real stuff and no bs❤
I mean everything they said about the writers strike was childishly stupid
Maybe on the return Bill will close his pie hole and let Jon finish a thought!
Please don’t do that to Mr. Hamm.
Actually there's a lot of BS ❤.
And JON Hamm is pretty smooth.
Despite me being somewhat cynical with a touch of misanthropy, I must say John Hamm is a breath of fresh air, and I'm envious of his sense of self, humble intelligence, passion for society, life IQ, and easy appeal....
I bet hes got a nice hog too
He's a good guy
I don’t find either Maher or Hamm as misanthropic. They have a good nature toward people.
@@blaizel3748☝️ look! There's an old lady here and you're talking about his "hog"! C'mon now?!
@@knemetnejat1 Neither do I (Maher, maybe)) I wrote despite "me being"....
Well, Bill this was an unexpected, delightful surprise! Love Jon Hamm and his many talents and features.
Great episode. I have always found Mr. Hamm interesting. Nice to get another insight to his intellect. You have the most interesting and diverse guest list. BTW Sometimes I love ya Bill and sometimes you make me f..king crazy but I can always count on your shows to upgrade both my intellect and my perspective. Please don't ever retire ☺
Jon Hamm is a good Interviewer.
exactly.
The man, the myth, the, legend Jon Hamm. Well done
Bill is sooooo much better/focused/insightful when he's marginally sober.
So he NEVER IS. 😅
He's not marginally sober. He's just a smart, inquisitive and fun to be with. ; )
English major drinking red wine. Seriously. Oh, and a puff.
I was thinking how Bill doesn't seem as wasted in this episode.
Great episode! Jon is VERY well versed in multiple subjects and life in general…loved when he said “Florida is peak Florida right now” 😂😂
Like JOHN MCENROE 😅
Really well versed if you agree with his views I guess
@@cliffbooth8423 Even if you DON'T...LOL
Agreed...when a yank lists off random cities in Alberta, Canada they're a freakin genius.
I’ve had a a few favourites… but this one is by far the best ❤… good job to you both♥️
Still, it didn't hit the HEIGHTS of the Jack Osborne 1. 😅
I don't normally expect much from actors, but Hamm was great! One of the best yet.
This was terrific! Jon is so smart and funny. So well rounded, love to see someone so comfortable talking about such a wide range of topics.
He's an imbecile. Maybe America being homogeneous and having a high tax rate and great public spaces as he described in Mad Men all go hand in hand. But he wants white guys (Jews excluded I'm sure) to take a social backseat to gay guys and foreigners so we have none of the socialist benefits and order but all the oppressive taxes. Dime a dozen Hollywood libtard trying not to get canceled. Imagine being rich, looking like that, and having the politics of Rob Reiner or a 50 year old lesbian on Prozac.
"I'm engaged with life" is Jon Hamm all the way. That's exactly why he's so knowledgeable, empathetic, and entertaining.
One of the best interviews and Jon incidentally exposes some of Bill's blind-spots e.g. hostility to therapy also Bill has his usual tendency to go into professor mode and start lecturing people as if they don't know anything, classily JH politely lets him rant. Surprised Bill had never come across Bill Bryson before.
What a great podcast!
Jon Ham so clever - he always manages to smooth the person in front of him- great talent!
Jon Hamm needs to co-host all future episodes >>> great chemistry.
With woody Haralson too lol
the percentage of Bill vs Guest was waaay off from previous episodes and it was a breath of fresh air, John held the points at every step. Great episode
Wonderful episode!!! Jon Hamm is a brilliant conversationalist. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I didn’t think I wanted to watch this episode…it just started running after the last one ended…but I couldn’t bring myself to turn it to something else. I watched the whole video totally captivated by JH. I’m a fan!!!
I almost skipped this episode with preconceived notion that John Hamm was just a good looking, successful but dumb influential person. I was wrong...he's so well spoken, can talk like a normal person and isn't trying to impress Bill. Loved it.
The opposite of what I expected the Richard Dreyfus episode to be.
@@pendorran Same! 🤣
Indeed, I love the vibe and I learned a thing or two.
@@canndd2000It would help a lot if you could break it up with paragraphs.
You should maybe extend this to other parts of your life, cliche but
Don't judge a ya know tha rest.
Jon Hamm gets two hours, influencers an hour. Some justice in the world.
Influencers are boring as fuck 🤣🤣
As a self proclaimed influencer I take offense
Bill’s audience don’t give a shit about influencers. They’re talentless hacks who attain their title by virtue of their personality. Which is usually best described as douchbag. Young people are into douchebags, older people appreciate talent and intellect.
Influencers don't have these conversations
You realize quite quickly that most of them have nothing to say.
Absolutely one of the best podcasts we could listen to these two talk for hours
Jon Hamm is such a Chad that there's no way Maher could dominate the conversation the way he always tries to. I could have listened to 8 hours of this.
I was a big fan of "Mad Men." very clever series. It took several years for Jon Hamm to win an Emmy for Don Draper. I will never forget him when he crawled up on stage to collect his "too long in coming" Emmy award.
John Hamm is that dude who has just a blessed life but it never went to his head when it could have easily.
Didn’t he accidentally kill a guy in college?
@@JS-lq9ur No, but he did drag him around by his balls with a hammer claw. Pretty horrible.
@@shaggyb9599
Frat Boys! I'm sure they treasure the memories...
His mom died of cancer when he was 10 and his dad died when he was 20. Not exactly sunshine and rainbows his whole life...
@@debbiedoodiedandi I had a friend who lost both his parents at a young age, yet for some reason he never took a hammer claw to my lower region
Jon Hamm has it all. It's infuriating! Great episode.
His long toe is longer than his big toe. Circus freak right there :)
@@cc85300000⁰😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve never seen so many men gushing over another man than in this comment section. It’s kind of adorable, you guys.
Yes! I never knew guys loved jon hamm this much. It’s cute.
Very surprised how intelligent and funny Mr Hamm was...excellent episode...one of the best!
Just finished it. That was a great podcast, impressed by Hamm, he came across far more thoughtful than I would have imagined. Also refreshing to watch an actual, long, meandering, yet interesting conversation that doesn't comport to the limitations of late night TV.
Mr Hamm, I am downloading Beirut right now. i am not going to pay you, but I am going to watch it!
Hamm is the golden child, everything he touches is great, his opinions are great, it makes you jealous of him for being so lucky but you also wouldn't know a better person to give the luck to. Nice to see Bill learning from him too, usually Bill has more common sense but in this one I think John was the better guide.
John! John! People are not freaked out or scared in the Midwest. Some people want to believe they are scared. That’s a problem. Love you two guys.
Agreed, that was the only real main thing I completely disagreed with. Never once in all my life have I seen a Midwesterner act afraid or negatively towards someone of a different race. Generally polite friendly people.
I think it may be because John meant Missouri where he's from, but I don't suspect many of us up in Iowa/Illinois/Wisconsin, etc.. consider Mizzourah the Midwest, more so the South. But i guess it kinda is. Wikipedia thinks so and I can see it seems to be so on the map. I guess it may depend a lot on which part.
Yeah I live in the Midwest and I’m puzzled by what he said about racism. I just do not come across these scared racist whites like he claims exists all over the area. Are there racists? Sure but there are racists in all groups . It’s so tired to just blame one group is guilty of it. It’s not only wrong but silly and ignorant
True. I'm not freaked out at all.
Well maybe they aren't freaked out, but why did Johnson running for re- election in Wisconsin significantly darken opponent Mandela's skin color in his campaign videos if he didn't think appealing to racism- see this VERY scary Black dude- would help him? Attended the UW- Madison Graduation last month where two Black students were given time to speak on their difficulties with the racism they had encountered while studying there. And Madison is as liberal as it gets.
Rural areas in the Midwest??
I love Bill Maher and from someone who also enjoys a good chit chat, I have learned the power of listening. I wish Bill could just chill a little more, let his guests finish thier sentences. He wasn't always like this but I did notice it far more after COV19.
Jon Hamm has a ton of great things to say and seems incredibly reasonable. Great episode!
Hamm: I lost my mom @ 10 & dad @ 20. Maher: My failed teenage relationship of 3 months still haunts me.
Ukraine is horrible, Bill, like the writers strike because that's about me.
Maher: resisting dictatorship is equivalent to a union strike
And Bill claimed it took from 1973 til 2006 to forget about this girl breaking up with him. He said once he was 50, he didn't think about April 7 anymore. Since he was born in 1956, that would have been when he turned 50.
@@bleepbloop9123 Sure, with bigger weapons. And with simplistic solutions, it SHOULD be easily done! If words were weapons......
Was I the only one wishing he was going to ask for an Old Fashioned?
Don Draper's drink.
First drink ever ordered in Mad Men.
He's sober.
My grandparents always had old fashions. And finally when I was in college, and went home for Thanksgiving, and went up to visit them, they kept offering me old fashions, which I politely accepted , but would dump them out in the indoor plants when they weren’t looking.
@@maxmeier532 did you happen to watch even the first five seconds of the video?
bill goes on and on about age-ism and then throws martha stewart under the bus immediately
Doesn't SOUND like Bill 😅
I am convinced Bill has dementia. His arguments are so stupid he cant possibly still live in reality. It's obvious the only time and the only reason for his ageism complaint is when it's self-serving. Yet, he is notorious for not touching a woman with a ten foot pole if she's older than 39. He's basically an old fart arguing young people should listen and young women should fuck him, because otherwise it's ageist.
lol
If Martha Stewart is attractive enough to be on a magazine cover, all the power to her.
That’s Bill. Contradicting himself constantly.
I love Hamm and really hope he is one of those people who can drink normally again🙏 I’m an alcoholic in recovery. I’ve stopped for 15 months and then tried controlling it, but to no avail. It just got worse. 7 months sober again now. 🙌
I can relate! Good for you. I’m still in the trap. It’s a constant struggle.
The most interesting thing you can put in front of an audience is two smart, funny people having a conversation. The best edition of Club Random bar none.
Tune in when Bill has guest Woody Harrelson and Mark Cuban. Funny and Cool.
Jon is such a level-headed, down to earth guy.
Bill is clearly amused and his Guest as well. Thats a true Club Random Episode 🎉 one of the best !💪
Loved that one Mr Bill! Jon Hamm is your ideal guest!
For the win Bill, love me some Hamm
One of the best. Hope Jon Hamm comes back yearly.
This is a two joint episode. I knew nothing about Jon Hamm, but now a big fan.
Great episode Bill! You guys were great together
This episode is superb. Jon Hamm is a great guest. Very smart guy like Bill. You need to have him on the show whenever the strike ends. If ever.
Am I the only one who wants to be John's friend? It seems to me that an evening of discussion with him should be at the same time funny, stimulating and comfortable.
Your the ONLY 1...😅
Bill! This format is better than Real Time! You guys are just getting high and dropping gems!!! Love it.
Yeah fuck the writers, I was thinking the same thing
Yet another wonderful episode of Club Random ~ I would love a second hour with these two!
This was one of the best eps I’ve seen so far. Get Jon Hamm in as regularly as you can! Also, I think I’ve watched Beirut almost every year since its released. It IS a great movie!
He would've been a great Bruce Wayne/Batman 🦇👏
Still could be?
He's better than that.
Make him a humorous one liner batman. That hasn't been really done.
@@timothyletwin5911 yes like a action/comedy movie with Larry David playing the villan
@@sluke5561 A little more serious but not so serious yes, Larry would be "pretty good".
I love this interview Bill, you and Jon have a great chemistry
They have no idea what’s going on in education. It starts at home. There is not enough accountability. Everyone passes no matter what. The students don’t produce enough actual work. There is not enough repetition and practice because everyone is so worried you might hurt their little feelings or cause stress.
I have a child with an IEP. You don't sound as if you understand that group at all.
Yeah, and that's college!😂😂😂
Bingo
He was a teacher.
Love Jon❤! Please bring him back on as this was a great convo and very entertaining 👏
Hands down, THE best episode of Club Random. A++
This is great 👍🏻 Very engaging! Just love the conversation and you almost feel like your eavesdropping lol. Almost forget they are being filmed, it’s just a natural, awesome conversation between these two guys 😁. Good stuff 😎
Bill I miss seeing you on Friday nights!!!
I needed a VACATION from the MAN who knows EVERYTHING about COVID and Pays ALOT OF TAXES. 😅
Great conversation
Another great one. Awesome guest again, love the banter and insights. So glad I can still get my Bill Maher fix while the strike is on.
Definitely one of the best conversations I've listened to in a long time. It doesn't matter where I'm from. ( I'm an old lady from the East coast.) More importantly, my grown kids are thoughtful, participating citizens!
Jon: My mom died when I was 10 and my dad died when I was 20.
Bill: My girlfriend broke up with me on 1973. Never got over it.
Absolutely love John Hamm's commercial with FLO from progressive insurance . Please do more.
Whoever casted ham in madmen deserves an award.
That'd be Matthew Weiner, creator of the show. He won quite a few awards
In fact he had to defend casting Hamm. I believe it was a "I walk if he's not the lead" type situation. Not that I was there haha, but I followed the show and read a lot
Loved every minute! Thank you!
My two favorite men!!!! I'm on cloud nine watching this. I love you both so much.
17:43 “Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
John Steinbeck
“I like the guy on CNN…he’s got a long road ahead of him” 😂
Yeah, they said they filmed this on Friday, just not which Friday. Unless they meant the head guy that owns CNN, and he still might be just as bad. If you get rid of Reliable Sources for exposing the right-wing media lies because it might start reporting on CNN shows, that is a problem.
This was such a kiss the boss's ass moment. Too bad it was all for naught! 😆🤣😆
Yeah that didn't age well
Apparently, Bill is desperate for gigs.
the coolness of jon really highlights the annoying nature of bill
Such a great episode! You two have great chemistry together.
Love, love, love the dialogue, the sharing and the meandering around many topical events 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great conversation
Hamm is so smart
How is someone this ridiculously hot and yet well-spoken, intelligent, humble, and self-aware?
I love how Jon keeps interrupting bill giving him a taste of how it feels.😂
EXACTLY!!!
It stopped Maher's worst tendencies, but it wasn't annoying to me. They both came across well IMO.
This is great. These two laughing together is great. I don't know why, but I didn't expect John Hamm to be so witty, smart or funny.
I enjoyed this conversation. Thanks Bill.
Oh how I wish Al Franken would run for POTUS, such a good man, such a smart man,,,
Let's keep it real so the writers are gone and where are the shows?? Nowhere! You're nothing without writers so pay them what they're worth or write for yourself!✌️
Oh finally some entertaining dude on this podcast
Have you seen the one with William Shatner?
@@mrkymrk99 Shatner, Chopra, Kid Rock, were awesome.
John Mcenroe 😅
Great conversation! Love Jon! And bill too lol. I think America needs good comedy films right now! We need you 2 right now!
My favorite convo on this podcast thus far.
