Lisa Kudrow | Club Random with Bill Maher

I learned a new word! Abstemious means to refrain from freely consuming food or strong drink. It can also mean to avoid doing too much of something enjoyable, such as eating or drinking.

[@underthemask8725]

Sometimes this show feels like someone humoring their weird, old uncle who's halfway through a bottle at 4pm on Thanksgiving.

[@youbetcha6880]

I hear you. It must be hard to have Maher monologue over you.

[@microtransactions2661]

And that's part of the charm. Wish he'd let guests get a word in though. Shatner handled him pretty well.

[@fst2822]

I was thinking the same thing. I don't really get the compliments on this episode in particular. Lisa looked like she'd rather be anywhere else. The one with Glazer is amazing though!

Yeah, but she does it in a way that is mocking what YOU must think of her-- that way it gives you a chance to say "oh no, not at all-- I think you're great" ---- but if you don't do that, and just let her cut herself down like that-- and you don't disagree with her, she gets a little offended by her own self deprecation. lol..

Finally saw The Comeback during quarantine and it really was good. It is kind of a hard watch at times the way she keeps getting humiliated. I think she's right about the victim thing...it hits a bit differently when it's a woman (mom refused to watch it past the first episode). But it does raise the stakes and makes it that much more inspiring when she just keeps doing her thing trying to give the best performance possible. Weird, weird show but great in it's own way.
