Remember this? Bill Maher in his previous career?

A glimpse of this, and you can see why he ventured into talk shows (besides his gift for brilliant spontaneous timely jokes, and a mind that holds all sorts of facts, and his gift for comedy):

Start watching at about 34:45. It's not long. But this is his "climax" in the show, and bless his heart, he gives it his all:

[question everything]

1. He appeared in two episodes. One of them with Faith Ford - later of Murphy Brown

I loved Murder she wrote and it was a joke that all the old Hollywood actors at some point were cast.

But yet unknown ones were, too, like George Clooney.

2. I'll look for the other one.

Poor thing. He wasn't terrible, but it's good he found a different career. He looks just the same, all these years later! Except for the hair.

[question everything]

3. The episode is called "Good Bye Charlie" From Jan 1990

"Jessica Fletcher" narrates, does not appear there. And Maher is one of the main characters. No need to find a special time

4. He was also on an episode of Roseanne...

As a photographer who took some boudoir photos of Roseanne for her and Dan's anniversary.
