Bill Maher Network ‘Shut Down’ With Billy Corgan?

Bill Maher’s “uncancellable” podcast studio has been “shut down,” as per RadarOnline.com

It has been reported that less than 2 years after it opened and following his support of President Donald Trump, Club Random Studios has “closed” operations after launching in 2024.

As per to reports, the website for the network’s shows is no longer in service, and a few podcasts have not shared episodes, which has all added to the speculation.

The studio was designed to support give a larger platform to “unfiltered” celebrity voices and even helped launch a few shows from Sage Steele and Vice founder Shane Smith.

Despite the studio being shut down, some of the bigger celebrities involved, including Steele and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, have continued podcasting.

Maher, as well as two co-creators, noted at the time of launching the studio: “My lifelong goal has been to get the kind of conversation we have in life – utterly real, completely authentic, cleaned up for no one – on the air. I went with that as far as I could on television.

“But I knew there was still another level to get to and a nighttime feel that was missing in podcasts, and that’s why I started Club Random. Now I want to help this impressive slate of other voices to do the same thing on the Club Random network. Dance like no one’s watching? We talk like no one can cancel us.”

Maher, who has been an extremely vocal hater of President Donald Trump, did a complete 180 and then turned into a supporter of the president – leaving many fans scratching their heads.

In April 2025, on an episode of HBO’s Real Time, the host took a moment to recall his recent visit with Trump and Kid Rock.

The comedian then turned off his hating ways and claimed Trump was actually “gracious and measured” and not like the “person who plays a crazy person on TV.”

Maher explained: “Let me first say that to all the people who treated this like it was some kind of summit meeting, you’re ridiculous. Like I was gonna sign a treaty or something. I have no power.

“I’m a f—— comedian, and he’s the most powerful leader in the world. I’m not the leader of anything, except maybe a contingent of centrist-minded people who think there’s got to be a better way of running this country than hating each other every minute.”
