Bill Maher Confronts Wanda Sykes Over Her Scathing Golden Globes Joke About Him
Comedian Wanda Sykes revealed that Bill Maher privately confronted her over a joke she made about him at the Golden Globe Awards. While presenting the award for best stand-up comedy performance, Sykes quipped, "Bill Maher, you give us so much, but I would love a little less."
According to Sykes, Maher took issue with the joke after the show, questioning her about the comment while they waited for their cars. Sykes recalled telling him, "It's a joke, Bill," and pointing out that the audience had laughed. Maher reportedly called the joke "stupid," prompting Sykes to respond that she had received texts praising the joke and criticizing him.
Sykes also disclosed that Maher invited her to appear on his "Club Random" podcast, an offer she declined. During her presentation at the Golden Globes, Sykes made jokes about all the nominees in the stand-up category, but Maher was the only one who appeared visibly displeased. He ultimately lost the award to Ricky Gervais, who was not in attendance.
