Cheryl Hines does a fabulous job of establishing rapport with Bill Maher right at the beginning of this Club Random podcast.

I'm listening to the whole thing, but only 26 minutes in.

She's fascinatingly skillful at personal interaction... and he appreciates it. He raises the dumb subject of wearing orange — because it's "right before Halloween" — and somehow she's got him talking about women in "blood red" lingerie and how he doesn't want to be touching a woman wearing leather in the middle of the night....


They talk about Bobby and Trump too. Watch it for yourself.

Funny she doesn’t sound in any way like the stupid starlet that the lefties here said she is just last week when her book and the intra-family kerfuffle at the matriarch’s wake.

Who's Cheryl Hines? In fact who are any of these new talking heads?

Cheryl Hines and RFK Jr. in a conversation, both thinking "God that voice!"

She should have been more understanding that there was a bad connection and the TiVo guy was there.

I tapped out Maher’s Andy Rooney- You ever notice… I’m glad Ann found something entertaining for a few hours. Jealous I am…

I haven't got to this one yet, but she's been on Adam Carolla and other podcasts. She seems like a nice, interesting person.

I'm shallow. She's hot.

Maher isn't used to people taking a personal interest in him, and he's flattered, and responsive. I think he has developed his craft as a way to be popular in life, but his guests always see him as the interviewer, someone doing his job, and they're there to be pumped - and he's just the qualified attendant.

Listened to her on other podcasts. Very smart person. Does her research. Improvisational comedy background. Very, very impressive.
