Bill Maher sits down with Smashing Pumpkins icon Billy Corgan for his second visit to Club Random, diving into free speech, political division, and the rise of AI in music and entertainment. Billy riffs on reaching his own version of Valhalla but finding real joy in unconditional love, shares stories of bringing his kids on stage to dance during shows, and dishes on Dark L.A., song titles that stick, and Taylor Swift’s cultural takeover. Plus: the truths (and tall tales) of castles, islands, and the myths of rock & roll fame.

ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.”

Maher has written six bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
