Cheryl Hines | Club Random with Bill Maher

Nov 10, 2025 Club Random w/ Bill Maher
In this unforgettable episode of Club Random, Bill Maher sits down with Cheryl Hines for a funny and unpredictable chat about politics, marriage, sex, science, and self-awareness. Cheryl opens up about life with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — from their late-night TV habits to living under scrutiny in a world gone click-crazy. They trade sharp takes on pandemic policy, natural immunity, Big Pharma, and D.C. politics, before veering into lighter territory with Bill’s dislike of red, Cheryl’s leather pants, Priscilla Presley hair, and that persistent “sock” rumor.
