Bill Maher Calls Himself a 'House N*gga' on 'Real Time'
While talking to Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, Maher had a very aggressive response when asked to work in the fields.
During a Friday night interview with Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse on Real Time With Bill Maher, the show's eponymous host caused a stir when he said the N-word.
Sasse invited Maher to his home state to "work in the fields with us." Maher answered, "Work in the fields? Senator, I'm a house nigga."
Maher seemed to delight in his audience's discomfort, and followed up by saying, "It's a joke." Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of people who did not find the TV host's use of the slur funny.
Others pointed out that Maher has made racially insensitive comments before.
