I could have listened to Bob Costas for 4 more hours. The guy is great and doesn’t miss a beat. Great show.
Bob Costas one of the best commentators in sports history. Great guest .
He's a sports encyclopedia
He is great. Very smart guy
Which is a joke.
Best guest yet.
Bob Costas should have been the Commissioner of MLB -- well, there is still time for Bob
The quality of guests this pod gets is unreal. Treat I look forward to every sunday night.
I love these somewhat longer ones too. When they cut off after like 40-50 minutes I feel gipped 😂
That's because Bill knows way more people than your average stand up comedian podcast host

Can't get enough of these episodes. Thanks, Bill - you're keeping us entertained as always. Cheers.
I’ve never been him reply to comments.
And it's free! :)
The 12:39 😮 13:20 and b lol th 15:30 15:31 g😢just jim is hh😢 myyouygggggghyyyyyybytbhby Jj
I am not a sports fan, but I could listen to Bob Costas talk about or interview ANYONE associated in the sports world. I never missed an episode of LATER . He really did his homework. He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the entertainment and sports world and is a JOY to listen to.
Glad you appreciate him but I don't know how someone could listen to him and not become a sports fan.
Well said, totally agree. I loved Later so much. He interviewed so many figures in entertainment and showed an unwavering depth of understanding and skill. Imagine how much us sports fans love him!
As a 25 year old I have been watching Bill for years. I am one of the few "young people" he mentions that think like him. I wish I could talk to him in person. He is so engaging and his centrist, common sense is music to my ears. I enjoy that he can talk to both sides of the spectrum and call out the bs they say while also finding things in common with them.
We aren’t as few as he makes it out to be. It’s just California 😆
Centrist? Lol. The last 6 months maybe. Hrs always been a lunatic lefty
23 year old here!
bro i just turned 25 too happy birthday
😊
I still miss Bob Costas' old late night talk show. He was excellent interviewing a wide variety of people beyond sports.
I miss it too and yes he was! It's only recently that I've come across some full-length 'Later With Bob Costas' episodes on CZcams. His Paul McCartney interview is especially great!
Sure. But hey, Rogan is doing a helluva job at picking up the slack on that. Right? And you aren't limited to 22 minutes and 8 minutes of commercials. The full on deep three hour interview with someone who has enough of value to fill the whole three hours, is two steps above the short outings that the old Later show represented.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post another CZcams link, but look for the "Bill Maher interview - Later with Bob Costas" video on here. It's still very watchable 30 years later.
He's the best interviewer in the history of television.
@@alanchamberlain9967 ...that’s a mighty bold statement! ...and we totally agree for a bunch of reasons.
I love Bob Costas, my favorite sports broadcaster! What a warm personality and high intelligence!
Looked it up, he won 29 Emmys. That's gotta be record.
What a pleasure, I love Bob Costas he is so eloquent and well spoken. It’s great to see an extended conversation with him. I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that he had his choice of broadcast opportunities and did not take because he was thinking of his family. Bill just wanted to acknowledge that I really love Bob Costas and it was great to watch the conversation.
So good to see the genuine laughter between Bill and Bob with the "power pitcher" talk. Bob has such a genuine laugh. Such good stuff Mr Maher
I met Bob Costas sometime in the early 90's while a newspaper intern and he was in town for a speaking gig. He had some down time so we spent time chatting. I'm not a sports fan but watched his old show "Later with Bob Costas" and he made a few appearance on Letterman back the in the day. This line is a classic: czcams.com/video/Okw2ciYE6oc/video.html -- I complimented him on his breadth of knowledge. You could tell he was well versed on a wide range of topics in his interviews. He deflected to say he had great producers. He was really cool and kind to young, green kid. Class act.
Thanks to CZcams, I've been able to see Later with Bob Costas. His interview with the late great Garry Shandling was damn priceless. God, and it SO made me miss Shandling!
@@robvangessel3766 Shandling was so far ahead of his time. Watching that interview now!
Based on this interview, he didn't actually need his producers. He really is that great. But yes, humility, deflecting. Very admirable. (Then again, after winning 29 Emmys, you gotta wonder what does he say, "Uh, thanks again. Thank you to my producers..."
Every time Bill says "What was I talking about?" you know he's lit.
too many times some episodes
Or old.
Thanks, Columbo 🤣
Bill is always lit. That's why I love Bill.
Bob Costas is truly gifted at what he does. Agree or disagree with this or that related to him be he is indeed a legend.
one of bill's best guests ever who is right about howard cosell being an early victim of cancel culture. he knew personally that cosell could be an arrogant jerk but that he wasn't a racist in any way, shape or form.
Very nice to hear Bryant Gumbel getting some Love. 54:20.
Bill and Bob spare no one. Nothing. They cover it all. Love the
appreciation here. Respect for Howard Cosell as well.
Another great show, Bill and another great guest. Bob Costas is Sports Royalty. Thanks for the enjoyment
Bob calling out a Club Random episode with Stephan A Smith. Man does his research. And the gift for gab between these two is off the charts…
@@aristotle736 yep. Absolute professional and a National Treasure - 100%
Bill Maher needs more sports people
@@jslberto bill could be interviewing an astronaut he will still bring the conversation back to, "so how about cancel culture?" Lmao!
@@ANTIStraussian well he didn’t do that in this episode. Not that it matters because your whining has nothing to do with what I said or what the person I replied to said
@@jslberto they talked about it at 19:00
This podcast gets better and better! Kudos to Bill, his team and the guests
This is a great discussion. Costas is the real deal and I like him even more now after watching this
As a conservative, Bill and this show especially has become my favorite person to listen to. Why? Because Bill is SO authentic, and that's so rare these days. Great to see a different side of Bob as well. Give me more of this. Our country desperately needs this.
I am not a sports fan, but I loved this interview. Bob is fun to listen to,...and Bill's voice I find that it relaxes me.
Finally, someone to watch all the way thru!
ADHD?
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 FYI, unwatchable guests.
Best club random episode yet. Bob Costas is a legend.
A woke legend!!!
Anyone who uses the term woke is immediately disqualified from being taken seriously
Thats crazy Bob looks basically like he did in 1982. Its actually quite nice seeing how many other things have completely changed since then. The guy is always on his game. An American Classic 🇺🇲
F-In! Bob Costas! Love him. This is gonna be great!
I could listen to Bob Costas discuss sports for hours.
This was an hour and forty minutes. I was disappointed it didn’t go another hour and forty minutes. What an incredible rapport between the two. Bob Costa is my all time favorite sports announcer. And as they discussed about references to old things, I am more than old enough to catch each and every one of the references.
I have been saying for years that Dick Allen is a Hall of Famer and by definition he belongs in the Hall of Fame.
So great. Love seeing a class guy like Bob Costas on CR,
one of the best episodes ever , always loved listening to BOB
Tony Kubek, Curt Gowdy and Joe Garagiola--great team. Always love to listen to them announce baseball games.
It seems one out of every 2-3 guests are good. Bob Costas is a GREAT guest. One of the best baseball minds and one of the best conversationalists in media. What a pro.
I grew up hearing Bob Costas do sports for NBC. It was like the end of an era when he left NBC 4 years ago in 2019.
Bob Costas, Marty Brennamen, Red Barber, Vin Scully.....they helped make baseball enjoyable. Baseball survived not because of the game, but the supporting cast.
Hawk Harrelson, Jack Buck, Dan Schulman
And, "The Scooter" and Joe Morgan.
@@JustinCase780 is that John Miller? Gosh I always loved him.
Ernie Harwell
First, thank you for having this show. Discourse between two people without judgement and hate. Rather, listening and respect. Thank you for this beacon of how we are all SUPPOSED to behave.
This was just absolutely fantastic. I’ve had a chance to interview Bob on several occasions. He is the best.
If it’s True that Discussion Is a Art-form, then you guys are Artists for sure. Great Stuff. Many Thanks!
Best one yet. I’m a huge Bob Costas fan and this podcast didn’t take a detour down any rabbit holes. The French connection was my first date movie, too.
"Later with Bob Costas" was one of the best shows in the past 40 years. Such a brilliant, well researched, and genuinely wonderful person who thrived in the art of conversation. He's missed on the airwaves much and NBC owes him everything
Costas had a flip phone until five years ago? Ha. I gave mine up only three years ago. I feel like a legend, now!
I have up mine in December '21.
The only thing wrong with Bill Maher's podcast, is that the episodes are not long enough.
What a great Time Warp this is. All of us that were huge
Bob Costas "Later" people. Running-it-back. Decades later
with Bill. Too good to be true, loving it. @ Entire campus's would stay up
'for the great guests et al on LATER. Bob = New-Hip-Kid-On-The-Block.
"Kid Gunslinger with all of the Tools." (Also great to hear Jim Bouton mentioned,
Jim having helped many like me. Climb the ladder. i.e. Jim read the first 50 or so pages
of a proposed sports novel - really applauding the effort. Then sending more completed
novel to Jim's managing editor at Doubleday (Jim Charlton). Jim Bouton so generous
and kind - such a class gunslinger. In Jim's own right.
Bob Costas; articulate as they come.
One of the best episodes yet
I love Costas. He is the greatest sports announcer of our time.
I'm not even a sports fan at all, but I can watch Costas talk about sports or ANYTHING. Big brain.
Costas is amazing. I listened to him as a kid in the 70s when he was on KMOX. He has remained loyal to St. Louis. His comments at Stan Musial's funeral were the perfect words for baseball's perfect knight. A great national career, no doubt. But his commitment to the city where he started, a river city in the Mid-West, reflects the essence of the man.
Bob Costa is the Best!!!!!!!!!!! Great Interview
Wow! This is like seeing Superman interview Batman!
Guaranteed to warm the heart of any old liberal, which I am glad to count myself as.
Bob is quite arguably the best of all time. He looks great for his age.
That's how you get work done: look the best for your AGE. Not wierd cat people pulls and tucks
Hair dye dos wonders ✨️
@@JBGC916 LOL!
Na, Vin Scully takes that title.
@Michael Ramos I agree! I'm a Cleveland fan. He called the tribe Yankees playoff series, and it was horrible low energy really, really dull
I love how Mr. Costas acknowledges "the deep chair" - Bill, get some pillows
The captions are legit on "Real Time"! So glad Bob gave props.
Look forward every Sunday night. Thanks 😊
Great job Billy. You get awesome guests and provide a Good Platform. Mahalo 🤙
easily the best random show, Bob Costas is so entertaining with great analysis, no better than his critique of Fox News, and no better time to expose Fox for its bias with Trump.
I’ve never heard Bob laugh before, 50 years he’s always seemed so serious. I loved this episode, Bob’s voice is so easy to listen to. As always Bill is amazing and continues his level of awesome memory and high intelligence. I’m going to watch this one more than once. A+
Great episode. Bob Costas is a favourite of mine. I used to watch his Later show, those interviews were great. Cool to see you guys are buds.
How I loved the 80's Mets...never loved baseball that much but they captivated me. I was sad Gooden and the rest used drugs and ruined what could have been a great career but they were great while it lasted. The excitement was unforgettable.
I know nothing about American sports (I am South African) - as always listening to your conversation was awesome Bill Maher. You are the voice of reason.
Great episode.I was waiting for Costas to come back to his Cosell story.Cosell did alot of crazy things
This is a good opportunity not to drink alone. I am having a gin and tonic, on the rocks with a twist of lime, cheers!
Oooh yeeah , Club Random makes my Sundays 😎👑
Damn. Had to really prop up Bob on pillows 🤭
Well Bob is only about an inch taller than Kermit The Frog.
I love Bob Costas. Thank you Bill
Grabbed my dictionary for this episode! Great one!
Excellent, could not have been better, get more interesting people on. Again, awesome episode.
I’ve watched everyone of your Random shows,Bill. I’m 83💜
Bob has always impressed me with how well read and well spoken he is!
this is almost like watching Bob Costas excellent show Later!
His new show on HBO is great!
No one does 'young man hair~old man face' as well as Bob C.👍
Bob is the best
A machine of knowledge
Wish we saw more of him
Bill thank you for all you do. Please bring common sense back To the democrats. Keep up the good fight against the crazy republicans
I love these shows but I wish it wasn’t so dark and blurry
I grew up on Bob Costas, and his commentary on the top sporting events in my life. Hope there is a plaque for him in Cooperstown, he deserving so.
Best Club guest since getting baked with Woody Harrelson! And I know why I relate so well to both of them. We're all NYC born and raised baby boomers, and I just think like them (even if I lack their gift of gab).
I’m 28 and I find this engaging every week
I agree w/Maher. #1 Bob Gibson threw heat🔥 back in '68... A year that the Cardinals were successful in winning *another* National League Pennant, but that they also let Gibson down in the Series! The Cards were up 3 games to 1, & Bob Gibson beat Denny McLain, a pitcher who won 31 f@¢king games that year, & yet the Cardinals can't seal the deal in the Series?! The "cardiac Cards" I heard my father call 'em! Jack Buck was another great sports announcer, & so was his son!

Great conversation! Bob Costas is an American Treasure!
Best Club Random yet. Thanks Bob and Bill !
Bill is the Carson of podcasts. Every interview is completely entertaining.
Really? I watched the Andrew Sullivan one and all they talked about was dicks for about 40 minutes . That’s when I quit watching. I wonder how long that went on?
They are definitely not all “completely entertaining”,
@@helethead that's your opinion. They are all entertaining to me. Got it?
No, they are not at all. There are some real crappy episodes mixed thru the good ones.
@@garyberg8072 When you're lo-info, EVERYTHING is entertaining. 🤣🤣
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 life is easier that way 😁
Love Bob Costas❤
My family had The World Book encyclopedia too.. but from 1962 (which is a few years before I was born.) I enjoyed thumbing through it often, even before I could even read and possibly thought Kennedy was president into the 1970s lol.
great stuff--just noticed Bob has pillows on his chair to be taller--too funny
Legend
I am a club random watcher for life. Redbars watching.
What a great interview. The fact that at 71 Bob can pull so much data out of his brain that he's experienced/seen and then use in conversation is amazing. I say that as someone in their late 50's. Aside from some movie quotes, there is no way in hell I could do what he does in that manner. I have a pretty good memory, but man..
Side note and sort of related - when they were talking about people who seemingly are uninterested - if not outright hostile - about hearing something they don't know about rather than being INTERESTED in learning something new.. That is a thing, but not something new, necessarily. That's in a sense like music hipsters who can't bear the thought of someone knowing/liking what they like and flat out refusing to even entertain the idea of listening to something brought to their attention because they didn't hear it first.
These two help to restore my faith in humanity.
~ okay... for those of you who didn't catch it... if you go 28 minutes & 55 seconds into this video, they switch the angle of the camera for only about 4 seconds and it's right when bill maher lights up his joint... kudos to the editor on that profound amazing & genius decision!! ☆ that's called ART people... and for a split second, i actually felt like i was in the room getting high with bill maher:)
One of his best.... again...
I've watched a lot of these, but I haven't laughed as much before. Really great chemistry.
I’m on the right, and I really enjoyed these discussions, and like both of these guys. I got a lot of respect for old liberals politics. Btw, I got to talk to Bob Costas for about an hour, because of my occupation, and it was a great moment in my life. I came away very impressed by him as a human being. He loves to share opinions on sports, like he’s doing here with Bill, and he was attentive to mine. Bob is a class act, and very intelligent, much like Bill.
In the mid 1970's I lived across the street from Forest Park in STL and this other single guy my age, Bobby Costas from NY, moved in across the hall. He moved there to work for KMOX radio. He was my neighbor across the hall for 3 or 4 years and a seriously nice guy even when he was starting to get national attention. From what I've seen over the years since, he hasn't changed a bit. We used to get high together :)
I remember when Bob Costas was on mornings at KMOX with Jack Carney on his radio program. Bob was hilarious when they would recreate radio dramas.
He's a c@@t.
I know right where that is. I lived in Florissant as a child
Great story. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Love Bob
The lighting is so bad
I love both of these guys. We need a Bob and Bill dedicated podcast. They are brilliant together!
Hahaha. Love these two together. Been watching Bill since his original broadcast show. He's amusingly crotchety on Real Time of late. Bob Costas just never ages. This episode reminds me of my very solid, California Dem liberal roots. And what I still am. The things that parade as the extremists of my party simply - aren't.
Ahhh Bob Costas. The Luke skywalker of sports broadcasting.
And wasn’t the same without him.
May the force be with you.
St Louis loves Bob
Indeed!!!!!
Bob Costas: Legendary sportscaster, iconic voice, and lexicon. 🎙️
Bob costas is one of the greats
nice to see the real Bob Costas
dumb...af
