For all your Bill Maher fans out there, he finally landed the big one. He’ll be interviewing President Obama this week on his _Real Time_ show: HBO, Friday Nov 4th at 10PM.

I’m assuming this will be the first part of the show, where he interviews a guest one-on-one. Although it’s going to be taped, not live.

This should be good!!

Yes, noted while waiting for either Last Week Tonight or Westworld.

DVR’d.

President Obama was also on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee yesterday. I haven’t seen it yet, though.

I haven’t either. He’s clearly got some time on his hands. Heh. I’m sure having Clinton win the election means a lot to him. I can’t imagine not only watching a Republican win, but watching Trump be his successor. Painful idea.

A couple of weeks ago, the president mentioned in a speech that [someone claimed on the radio](http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/12/politics/obama-sulfur-smell-alex-jones/) that both Obama and Hillary Clinton smelled of sulfur (implying that they’re demonic). So Obama sniffed himself to find that he did not smell of sulfur, saying, “Now, I mean, come on people!”

The President seems to be loosening up this late in his term of office, and is more willing to point out the insanity out there.
