Bill Maher to Gen Z: Explain This To Me

Bill Maher sits down with two UCLA seniors for a brutally honest, surprisingly thoughtful generational clash—and it’s not what you expect. What starts as jokes about “dying industries” and privilege quickly turns into a real conversation about Gen Z anxiety, AI taking jobs, and what it actually feels like to graduate into an uncertain future. They get into everything: social media addiction, digital footprints that never disappear, and why young people feel like they have to censor themselves in real life. Bill pushes back on “overly sensitive” culture, while his guests defend their generation with nuance—landing somewhere in the messy middle. It’s funny, tense, and unexpectedly human—a rare moment where two generations actually listen to each other.
