Billy Dee turned 87 yesterday. Happy Birthday, Billy Dee!
Omg!!!! He is soooooo handsome!!!!❤❤
“You spend a lot of time thinking about that stuff? Relax, its gonna be alright…”
And telling Maher he wastes his time thinking about that kind of stuff.
Billy & Morgan Freeman have the best line. Stop talking about race! Love this man
Why would we stop talking about race? That’ only benefits people who don’t want to deal with it
Soooo, not talking about race will make it dissappear right?!! GTFOH
@@therobotafroshow3289 there's a lot more to people than the color of their skin brotha man
@@badcornflakes6374 I’m well aware of that.
@@badcornflakes6374 America owe’s African Americans reparations. Until that debt is paid, it will always be about race!
Billy Dee is super sharp.. incredible man for 87!! He carries himself like a much younger man
Watching Billy Dee force Bill Maher to put his race card back into the deck... PRICELESS!
💯 💯
Bill seemed taken aback by Billy at times 😅😅, good 😅😊
Yup. Starting to see Bill as he is… a big boob. Man child out of touch with most of us.
He was so cool
When was Bill Maher a big rich racist bigoted Jew, a liberal ❓🤔
Billy D is an absolute legend, and even in his 80's, still the coolest dude on the planet.
I love Billy’s mocking of Bill’s focus on race.
I agree.. Bill's focus is driven by his perverse need to get a laugh and there's no dignity attached to how far he'll go to get it..
You put Bill in his place! Thanks
Five minutes in, and I'd never heard of Molly Goldberg. So I hit pause and looked her up real quick. It used to be you'd have to go to the library to find information. Now you can look it up instantly. Amazing times, and we got used to it so fast that we take it for granted.
Me, too. But since it started in 1949! I didn't feel too bad for not knowing about Molly/Gertrude. ❤
I didn’t have to look up Molly Goldberg. It was before Bill’s time…..
there were a bunch of ethnic shows - sitcoms- in early 50s NYC TV, jewish families, black families, irish etc, it was like Brooklyn ;)
Top sitcom of the time….her name was Gertrude Berg
On the flip side, most of the info you'd find in the library, and even in the media had some relation to truth!
Unfortunately, many people believe that's true with the internet!
BREAKING NEWS...It ain't!
I got to meet Billy Dee a few years ago. And he's the real deal. Soft spoken and very kind.
Billy Dee Williams is pure class. The conversation seemed to begin with a very rough start, thanks to Maher. Towards the end it was very watchable.
I somewhat agree - but this is like a normal conversation too. By the end both parties really understand each other much better and find plenty of common ground. Love it
Bill is so me me me me , let the guest talk
I think Bill had prepped for the interview hoping he would spend the hour talking about being black in Hollywood and back in the day stories from an older perspective of what its like being one of the most handsome men out there. When Billy didn't want to go there, he was out of material. Billy was first a painter! There are a million things to ask him that in sure he has interesting views on. But can see why Bill went there...many guests have their speel and Billy dee was doing his own thing. Imagine that!
Bill keeps trying to figure out the joke/snark/line... and Billy's not using any of that. He's speaking from the heart.
Billy dee giving Bill a lesson in class.
💯 💯 bill keeps coming back with sexist comments. billy is clearly not into that. its just not that of talking today.
Absolutely. Bill speaks negatively about young people, understandably so, but Maher's generation and others were taught to respect their elders. Maher needs to learn how to do that. Nonetheless, Billy Dee put him in his place. Love him.
Is he ever !!. But Bill understands subtlety as much as a kick in the ribs.
41 minutes into it and he STILL doesn't get that Billy Dee doesn't like the verbal gutter. Good grief.
There's a beautiful irony here when Maher complains about how awful kids are today and Billy Dee patiently sits there watching him and thinking the same thing...
Billy deconstructs identity politics in 50 seconds flat to open the podcast. iconic.
And then Billy talks about how the Jews moved out when the blacks moved in, etc. Billy talks about race history as much as Bill.
I love it! I think most are tired of divisions…..,
Billy D. shutting down the medias absurd identity race obsession.
Exactly what I was thinking.
@@mrsnakesmrnot8499 Nah, Bill Maher is a race peddler. Billy Dee Williams clearly did not want anything to do with it. Williams mentioned a simple fact, that's it. Bill Maher still suffers woke-mind-virus, despite his claims to the contrary. Maher isn't as bad as many liberals, but he is still a work in progress.
Bill tries to make everything salacious and Billy remains the charming gentleman with solid logic as Bill messes with his own head.
You said it more succinctly than I did, thank you. Bill crossed the line too many times and Billy was not having it, good for him!
I dident think bill caught on at all, he’s not equipped for a man of that level of. Class and graciousness
He’s stoned. He goes with the flow. He’s not gonna get it right every time.
Two totally different generations -
Billy Dee Williams is a national treasure.
Billy Dee is an eccentric and a joy to listen to. Brian's Song is forever engrained in my cranium as it has no rival in the TV movie genre.
I cried like a baby, great film!
Mahogany and Ladie sings the blues , omg he was soo gorgeous! And still is … Billie Dee suave❤
Him telling Bill to not play the race card is awesome. I like Dee even more 👍.
I'd hardly call it a racecard, he was just giving context. White suburban boy is synonymous to loser kid.
agree bill didnt know how to handle that race page is off limits.. billy just says be humble. bill wants keep stirring him up which is clearly uncalled for .
It was necessary for the time period being discussed!
@@2wheelmanexactly. As much as Bill hates on "woke", he's still fallen into their biggest trap: making everything about race.
@@canuck33stop that also applies here.
I went to a Star Wars convention and paid him $20 to sign a Colt 45. When I got divorced my ex wife smashed it, that is how important it was to me.
That's awesome and I'm sorry
Be happy you made it out alive. ❤️🩹
So sorry, to read that she messed with your stuff. 💔
I hope all of your living beings stayed safe, with you. 💞
🌷.
sounds like she or you turned to the dark side
Lol!
Despicable and unhinged
I don't think that Bill was prepared for such a class act that Billy Dee is!
I agree. May b he thought Billy Dee's persona was a just an act. Mistaaàke.
He wasent and Billy Dee was as gracious and classy as ever, bill handled him all wrong
That was great. Billy Dee is the man. Too classy for Maher.
Billy is the greatest telling Bill to “stop that”. He is sick of the bs just like everyone else.😉
It's just boring now.
Thank you Billy! You are an American!😊
Of course he is. Does he need your validation?
@roberttietjen5012 I don't know why in all my 50 some yrs in my country Wight folks talk about "High IQs", but when it comes down to so-called "Black Americans" or now misnomer again as African Americans identify ourselves differently, Wight folks iq level goes down. They become dumbfounded. It's like "whacha talkin' bout Willis?" Well this one's for you!
READ VERY CAREFULLY: btw native Americans are not "aborigines", I think you know that, right? Riigghht..
*The physical characteristics of the American aborigines are generally admitted to point toward affinities with people belonging to the Pacific region rather than with those bordering the opposite coasts of the Atlantic basin. The nomads and fishermen of Siberia are more like hyperborcans than any existing European people, and certain features recall the Melanesian inhabitants of the Pacific islands rather than the African negro races.* We're not all of "African" descent, both sides of my family's lineage ain't from Africa, but right here in America.
So what's your point Mike? *I'm glad you ask Robert! We're still here misnomer after misnomer. Indian, N-Word, Negro, Black, Colored, etc.. oh btw, the 1828 Noah Webster's Dictionary describes us as "Aboriginals or Copper-Colored races.* *I strongly dislike racists, I wish they go back, that's my point*

Billy tries to keep the discussions light and learning but in a nice way. He went toe to toe if necessary. Be accurate and know your history. God, what a joy to listen to him. No bitterness. Just a pleasant discussion😄
Bill gushing, fawning over Billy Dee is totally justified & correct 😊😊
One of the last centurys leading sex symbols, Billy Dee is charming, humble, witty, gracious, and down to earth. This is hollywood royalty and congratulations Bill on snagging such a legend for Club Random ❤🎉😊
yeah but after the like 50th attempt of flattering him he should have read the room and drop it.
Love how he basically told Bill he doesn't buy into woke identity politics, well done that man 👌
I love how Billy rejects all the racism & black victimhood stuff. Thats a rarity cause every other black celeb seems to want to lean into it. When on the View he really set those old hags straight when they kept trying to make him seem disadvantaged. His career sure as hell is not that!
Old hags 😂
Multiracial Dee is above divide
He's a mild blend less acidic
He’s been a class act and a man for his whole life
Maybe it doesn’t bother him.
I’ve had the cops called on me for walking in my own neighborhood on several occasions.
Just last week I had a woman take an item out of my hand at the grocery store and proclaim “white first”.
Not to mention I’ve been turned down from home loans because of the color of my skin.
My great uncle was also accused of arguing with a white man and was hung from his neck. I heard it took him several minutes to die. This is what my father said anyway
True stories from a 73 year old black man living in the United States
you sound like a fantasist. everytime you dont get what you want its cause youre black! Entrenched in victimhood. @@helloitsmehb
"STOP THAT... get off that".
That was bloody beautiful. Bill HAVING to choke on humble pie.
He needs DAILY doses of it.
Bill wasn't not being humble. He was going on about white people and black people. Which is more of a race thing.
well said!
Billy Dee that old school class
I remember Billy D on the Jeffersons . Great episode Florence was in love with him haha
That was just on Antenna TV!
Anyone else notice Billy Dee sounds like Yoda now as he chuckles after nearly every sentence?
As a 56yo Black Man, I can tell you, my man B. D. W. is on point.✊🏾
Also identify as a 56 y.o black man (haters will say I’m a 35 yo white man tho). He on point for sure, I had to dig up an old red jacket of mine to properly and respectfully watch this shit.
I agree big time
for cluess ppl .. maybe
💯‼️
I like hoe he pulled a Morgan freeman on him, imma skip all of that.
I never heard of this guy and i’ve already learned so much from this classy gentlemen of a man. What a beautiful presence
You never heard of Billy Dee Williams?????? WOW!!
He's the coolest most handsome man in space!!
You get to enjoy getting up to speed on this!
Watch his movies. He was SMOOTH.
Bill would have to live another hundred years to understand someone like Billy
Billy Dee Williams artist/ movie star is 87 years old. He won the jackpot on genetics! What a distinguished gentleman with a distinguished mind! Many great roles, but I just loved his guest appearance on The Jeffersons!
Yes!
He was such a stunning man- mahogany , lady sings the blues , he was some gorgeous hunk
Watched Brian’s Song for the 30th time and still cry at the end. Billy Dee is one cool cat!
Awesome movie. I'm surprised that Brian's Song wasn't mentioned in this interview/ chat. Williams was so good as Gale Sayers. As was James Caan playing Brian Piccolo.
@@waynej2608 I was surprised as well. Bill went right to his 80’s movies. Missed opportunity to ask about him and James Caan. Star Wars & The Godfather. They did alright for themselves. lol.
@@lumpydavidg2201 Indeed. 👍
Hurray Billy Dee, Denzel and Morgan for them calling out the nonsense of victimhood.
He was gorgeous was Gayle Sayres=still is handsome
Lando, what a classy guy.
Ultimate space MO-FO and Still the coolest cat decent artist as well. Legend!
💯
@user-et8fn8fu7u what lol. I was saying he is stylish
Wow, i have huge respect for Billy D Williams. More than I did before. This man is all about who you are as a person and not what race or religion you are. God bless this man.
Not to mention I didnt even know Mr Willams is still alive, what an absolute treat listening to him. Very wise and interesting. And he's 87!?!? We're very lucky to have old guys like him still around. I think I'm going to order his book.
Billy is a gentleman who understands it is not respectful to refer to a woman as a "pussy"
Bill has an extremely adolescente view of male / female relationships. He just never matured emotionally or intellectually. I cringe every time he says "pussy" in these podcasts. He thinks that's the measure of a man -- how much "pussy" they got. So stupid.
Thanks grandpa
I hate that!
This is what I love about Club Random: I'm constantly surpried. Guests who by name I would've thought were boring suddenly turn out to be excelent in a totally unpredictable way. Bill knows how to pick 'em. Trust. I almost didn't listen and now I love Billy Dee.
Bill thank you for having a legend on your show. Billy looks amazing still absolutely darling. Such a true gentleman. A class act. 🙏🏼🥰🌟
Best Club Random show by far. Billy Dee is a true classic and national treasure.
Bravo Mr. Billy Dee. Class all the way. Love you always❤
Stop doing that Bill. Just stop! ...priceless!
Billy Dee is awesome.
Class act but also really highlighted what a dbag Bill is.
I was on the fence about Bill but the more intelligent people he interviews like Billy it really highlights his assholishness
At 87, Billy Dee is based!--and completely unbothered. "I'm an African American? What's that?" PS: "The Goldbergs" was a very popular radio show, and then a popular 1950 movie, starring Philip Loeb, who was blacklisted by HUAC, which destroyed his career. He tragically took his own life. One of the meeting rooms at Actor's Equity Association is named for Loeb.
🕯... for Philip Loeb . 😔
Thankfully, his name is not forgotten.
(That meeting rm. tribute, is moving.)
11:07. Billie Dee Williams speaks a truth we all need to hear. This proves he is working at a life level far beyond where Bill - and many of us - are.
Bill Maher and his white guilt. When Lando Calrissian himself tells you to "stop that" you stop it. Not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I think most would agree that The Empire Strikes Back is still the best SW movie, and Billy Dee was one of the best things in it.
The director of The Empire Strikes Back was an actor’s director, which was a big part of why it was so good.
I do think it's reasonably important to cite how far we've come on the issue of race and the diversity of roles opening up to non-whites, considering how hard earlier generations fought to make it so. Part of the reason the original Star Trek remains significant, given its indirect ties to MLK, Jr.
@@RocStarr913 True that. it had a different vibe from the 1977 movie.
Thank you .. Empire is my fave and yes Billy Dee was huge ..
Bill Maher with guilt?😂😂😂 White guilt? Bill Maher has no White guilt. Don't confuse an educated White man with weakness
Billy Dee my Man!!!!!!!!!!! Class.
I saw Olivier portray Othello, It was so powerful you cannot see any make up on his face. Also, if you can handle it, James Earl Jones as King Kear in Central Park 1974, dark and frightening but the best.
Billy Dee Williams' smooth rendition of "Our Love is Here to Stay" is the perfect retort to Bill's frat boy crassness and humor. I was surprised to hear him admit out of the blue that he had lived with a madame...talk about random - LOL!
Incredibly, entertaining, one of your best club randoms
Billie is a lot like my mentor, who is also 87 years old. He keeps you off balance very well and knows how to fuck with you. And also calls you on your bullshit in the same way Billie does.
I see Maher is intimidated by Billie so this is good to see Bill's ego get exposed. Humility is an achilles heal for Maher and a lot of us humans. Its one of the hardest skills to learn. And even harder to learn as we age. Billie has this lesson of humility oozing from his pores.
Finally Bill got the coolest, smoothest cat in the world to sit down with him.
shatner and billy Dee need a movie. or a cable show. real or characters. they be great together.
And I wouldn't mind Williams re-uniting with Diana Ross for a project, too.
A Non-Grumpy Old Men.
Oh, now THIS is a guest! I honestly didn't even give that last ep a whirl, based solely on the lack of recognition .
"The Molly Goldberg Show." Had to look that one up. Early tv. VERY early! 1949-1957. I never heard of it. And it lasted a long time, thru the I Love Lucy/Honeymooners era.
Ok. Over in 57. Bill was like, one.
Being near Maher's age, I hadn't heard of it either. Sounds like the Jeffersons "Moving On Up" with a Jewish family instead of a black family.
It is one of the most beautiful things in life to see an African American person shutting down another person who is either race baiting or trying to make a conversation all about race. Well done Lando.
Bill couldn't even take the hint. He was dead set on making that black man see just how "disadvantaged" he is. What a jerk
Interview starts with compliments and laughter until Billy Dee was like, 'Funny how?"
As a kid, I loved Billy D as Lando but never saw him in a long format interview. What a great guy, with a great perspective and outlook!!
"Do you feel you have to say that?"
"Do I strike you as someone who feels like I have to...?"
"I'm sorry I said that!"
🤣
Love Billy Dee’s little giggle..🤭
PROPS FOR BILL HAVING THESE LEGENDS ON
I’m in awe of Billy’s wisdom.
Can't tell you how much I love this show.
Billy Dee to Bill Maher: "You have a lot of arrogance."
Perfect.
🤣
Bill. Get ur shit together. Billy dee is one of the best people u can converse with, so please be cool
Billy Dee Williams is the epitome of cool and classy..🤙
Very enjoyable Club Random. I would have liked if he asked Billy D. about playing Gale Sayers in Brian’s Song. Probably has some good stories about Jimmy Caan.
I was thinking the same thing. I kept waiting for it. It was a very significant movie for Williams. Emmy winner and it remained popular for many years. I actually caught it on TCM recently. It's still impressive. They had Brian's Song double billed with Duel, also a stellar made for tv film.
Not to turn this to politics but I will anyway. 87 year old man, wise, on point. It’s not Biden’s age. If Biden could sit down and coherently have a conversation many wouldn’t see his age as an issue. This goes for trump as well!
Biden does that, Trump? Just read one transcript of part of his rally speech. The man cannot construct a sentence.
Bill comes off so crass and uncouth in this interview. Billy Dee Williams handled him perfectly. What a pro.
Because your perfect.
I thought Billy was in awe and obvious different generation. BW got it wrong - Bill wasn’t debating - just comparing the two eras of moviemaking!
Bill Maher couldent hold a candle to billy Dee, that’s giant class and suave old school gentleman,
Who the hell are you?
I love Billy's philosophy. It's inspiring and enchanting. He isn't afraid of expressing individuality and that's reflected in his artistic endeavors.
Billy is such a gracious cat. Pure class
Bill just keeps going & going there. What a dueche trapped in his own world. lol Billy is a class act!
He's a stand up comedian, nothing more, nothing less.
This was a fun conversation. BDW loosened up a bit at the 50 minute mark after his wine soaked in. Bill Maher is clearly a fan...and well deserved.
He put Bill in his place
BDW is so calm and chill!!!🥰
Say what you will about Bill Maher, but think about this podcast. He will be a legend and this postcast will be in the Library of Congress some day.
Agree. This is the first time I've seen Billy Dee Williams in, I don't know how many years. Great podcast.
That red pillow behind Billy D. with his red sweater looks strange...lol
Like the queen of hearts!
* I enjoyed the show a lot. My takeaway, though, is that BDW doesn't love Bill and believes Maher is a crude dude.
BILLY JUST MAKES ME SMILE. HES TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD.
Billy Dee is a class act 💜
Every single time I watch these episodes I think my God Bill shut up!
Absolutely! He tried his best to destroy the Sheryl Crow interview, but she was too good.
Bill, I agree with Billy. A good actor can do it. Robert Downey Jr. is the only actor that played a black character. It was done and wasn’t racist undertones AT ALL!
This is one of those rare occurrences where, after seeing the guest, I want to read their autobiography. He may be old, but, he has an amazing mind. Really impressed with Billy, and the conversation.
Hey without Bill there is no this. Thanks Bill & thanks Billy. Great watch indeed!
bill is so annoying. billy dee has the upper hand the whole time, intellectually
Love how the red cushion looks like shoulder pads 😅
Lucifers jacket lol!!
Love the show, and it's not just the passionate, moving ad reads! Thanks for doing this show, adds value to your other work (for me), which I already respected ... cheers!
The great Billy Dee Williams teaches us about a show in the early years of television
I just wish Bill would have allowed Billy to talk more uninterrupted.
I scrolled down before stating the same thing...Why must he constantly interrupt and take over the thought being expressed before Billy can express it? Bill, you're doing this show for a while now, improve at it. Guy's of Billy's generation won't be here forever, let them talk , dam it ! You'll still get yours in ...
What a sweet laugh
By far the funniest 😅😅😅 was driving , laughing and crying 😂😂
"I know you're saying it, and I know you're wearing his shirt" lmao
Billy Dee put Maher in his place ! Bill couldn't instigate trouble or controversy.
“Stop that, stop that stop that”. Billy Dee on Bill talking about Race inequality
Morgan Freeman would say the same thing
He’s too cool for that nonsense ❤
Dude, This is a wonderful side of Billy Dee that before this podcast I didn't know about him. Spoke of his multiple views on the way to live life that I agree with. ❤👍🏻
87? WOW What an incredible Pioneer! This is a complete keeper and I haven't even heard a word yet! Not many people can Humble Bill Maher............Billy Dee does here! Very much so.
The ppl in the next room in the hotel could have banged on Bill’s door and said ‘’quit banging on the door!’’
This is sooooooooo goooooood❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
