The Real Time episode wasn't done in the regular format, but simply consisted of Maher interviewing Cameron Diaz, Oliver Stone, and Billy Bob Thornton one-on-one. These interviews are never as enjoyable as his normal discussions with guests, as they consist of much more ass-kissing, and address far fewer actual issues. He basically just fawned all over Ms. Diaz, but there was a little more substance to the interviews with the people he DIDN'T want to sleep with. Billy Bob did make a brief mention of the disastrous interview with Jian Ghomeshi (whom he simply referred to as "some DJ in Canada"), and tried to claim that he was speaking his mind, or something absurd like that. No, Billy Bob, that was incoherent rambling. He mentioned Patrick Henry, but he was famous for saying, "Give me liberty or give me death," not "I used to read Famous Monsters of Filmland." Unless that was one of his lesser-known quotations. Anyway, Beth said that the Boxmasters song they played at the end of the show reminded her of Thornhill-era Moxy Früvous, so that's kind of amusing.
