About this episode

Bill Maher and Jerry O'Connell discuss childhood fame, marriage, and parenting in Calabasas.

Bill Maher welcomes Jerry O’Connell to Club Random with Bill Maher for a conversation that jumps from childhood fame to life in Calabasas. Jerry reflects on the unlikely moment that set his career in motion—when director Rob Reiner told the shy kid from Stand by Me to stop holding back and lean into who he was. That advice, he says, changed everything. From there, the two get into Jerry’s marriage to Rebecca Romijn, the surreal experience of being married to someone once married to John Stamos, and the chaos of raising teenagers in Calabasas. Along the way they cover Kourtney Kardashian’s parking etiquette, the Dean Martin school of zero rehearsal, and why ayahuasca is a hard no for both of them.
