‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl Haliey Welch Talks Future Steps, Family Life with Bill Maher

Haliey Welch‘s fame has reverberated across generations it seems … ’cause she sat down for an interview on Bill Maher‘s podcast — and pulled the curtain back on the real Haliey.

The “Hawk Tuah” Girl joined Maher on his ‘Club Random’ podcast in an interview published Sunday … and, like the name suggests, the talk got really random — ranging from working in a spring factory to family to country music.

One thread tied the whole convo together … with BM telling HW early on he wants to help her figure out where her career’s going from here — a pretty serious move from a guy more used to cracking jokes about hard-hitting political subjects.

Maher — acting as Welch’s personal fame Yoda here — asks Welch near the end of their talk how she’d feel about jumping on TV in some capacity … and, Haliey admits she’s considered television acting.

But, Maher’s almost frustrated with the answer … telling Welch it would be a shame for her to portray other people when her own personality’s already stellar — clearly, others agree since she recently discussed a reality show with several producers.

Welch’s hilarious on-the-street interview catapulted her to viral fame features Hailey just being herself … though, on ‘Club Random’ she admits she made the joke after a fair few drinks.

BTW … the two yuck it up for much of the interview, but they get serious too — with Welch opening up about her difficult relationship with her parents.

Bottom line … there certainly seems to be more to Welch than her initial street interview might suggest — and, Bill’s helping the whole world see it.
