On Club Random, Bateman argues that the indie-film bottleneck is not a lack of buyers, it is a lack of bankable actors.

The Hollywood superagent turned a book-plug visit into a live demonstration of why his grudges need their own legal department.

Kevin Spacey says Netflix is shelving Gore, a completed Gore Vidal movie he calls one of his best films
Spacey told Bill Maher that Netflix should release or give up the finished Gore Vidal film, and he made the pitch with maximum self-interest and one genuinely sharp point.

On Club Random, Santos tried to shrink one of the ugliest parts of his federal case into a very Washington story about campaign optics, committee gifts, and elephant-print neckwear.

Kenny Chesney says a tour-bus epiphany in his 40s ended his out-of-control hillbilly rockstar years
On Club Random, Chesney gives the least bro-ish possible version of a country-star hangover story: not redemption, exactly, but math.
Kathy Griffin says she hasn't been in the black for six years since the Trump head photo
On Club Random, Griffin makes the cancellation sound less like a scolding and more like a long, expensive layoff with lawyers.
Max Amini says Jimmy Carter helped put Ayatollah Khomeini in power to hold back Iran
On Club Random, the Iranian American comedian walked into a classic diaspora theory and Bill Maher, of all people, played the skeptic.
Shannon Elizabeth says OnlyFans is the only relationship she needs now
The American Pie star told Bill Maher that her fan chats have replaced dating, which is either a very modern boundary or the cleanest sales pitch in the parasocial economy.

On Club Random, Spacey made his cleanest case for a comeback by arguing that Netflix is punishing an entire finished movie over allegations against him.

Jack Whitehall says Channel 4 pulled his show at 11 p.m. because Michael Jackson died after it had a pedophile sketch about him

Bill Maher says his high school talent show was canceled after he stole a risqué Johnny Carson joke

Bo Derek says Marlon Brando called Ursula Andress because he couldn't remember if they'd had sex
On Club Random, Derek dropped a tiny Old Hollywood grenade, then spent the rest of the hour proving she may be one of the last people alive who can make that story sound casual.
Penn Jillette says Bob Dylan lied about hopping trains, then Penn lived Dylan’s hobo story himself
