I laughed plenty at Patton Oswalt’s new Netflix special “Talking For Clapping,” which touches on prescriptions for the elderly, poorly reared Russell Terriers, ringtone choices, RuPaul’s surprising lack of political correctness, “My Little Pony” and much, much more. His big closer, which deals with a disaffected hipster children’s party clown, kills.
“Silicon Valley” star Thomas Middleditch is the mid-show interview guest on tonight’s “Real Time With Bill Maher.” Journalist Lawrence Wright is the top-of-show interview guest. The roundtable guests are author Charles Cooke, journalist Lesley Stahl and political commentator Van Jones.
