Ari Emanuel | Club Random with Bill Maher

Bill Maher sits down with Ari Emanuel, his own agent and one of Hollywood's most powerful executives, for a freewheeling conversation about the rise of Endeavor. Ari traces his path from the mailroom to the boardroom and shares stories about the Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien shake-up, a 16-hour flight to China for a lunch that never happened, and being the real-life model for Entourage's Ari Gold. The conversation moves from dealmaking and grudges to serious personal topics including dyslexia, loyalty, revenge, Donald Trump, and Israel and Gaza. Throughout, Ari argues that talking to people you disagree with still matters.
