Bill Maher has been accused of making a racist joke after he referred to Popeyes Chicken during an interview with Texas Republican Congressman Will Hurd on Friday’s episode of his HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
“I was in the CIA for almost a decade,” Hurd said during the segment at the top of the show. “I was the dude in the back alley’s at four o’clock in the morning collecting intelligence on threats to the homeland.”
“That’s where they collect them huh? By the Popeyes Chicken,” Maher told Hurd, who is black.
The comment followed a fried chicken joke Maher made during his opening monologue: “Besides the lies and the crazy [President Donald Trump] is just aggressively stupid. It’s black history month, so he went into the Rose Garden and pardoned a bucket of chicken.”
“At this point people have to start declining invitations to go on @RealTimeHBO,” said New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb.”I’ve been on previously. No way I would again.”
Conservative critics also called Maher out as an example of perceived hypocrisy on the left. “Bill Maher insults black CIA vet by suggesting he picked up tips “behind the Popeye’s Chicken” same day as Ralph Northam admits he submitted racist af blackface Klan photo to yearbook,” said Federalist publisher Ben Domenech. “It’s almost like this is all a game to them.”
HBO, Bill Maher, and Rep. Hurd did not immediately respond to requests for comment from TheWrap.
Maher’s comments came the same day Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam apologized for a photo included in his 1984 medical school yearbook depicting two people wearing racist costumes. Northam so far has declined to resign despite widespread condemnation.

11 Times Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect Comments Sparked Outrage (Photos)
Comedian Bill Maher has made a career of saying things that could come back to haunt him, both on his former ABC show "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher" and on his current HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher." Though Maher prides himself on being politically incorrect, there have been plenty of times he's said offensive things that got him into hot water. Here's a look at 11 of them.
HBO
11. Maher interviews alt-right darling Milo Yiannopoulos
After Milo’s speech at Berkeley University was canceled because of protests that included a few small fires and thrown objects, Maher brought the alt-right idol in for an interview. Though Milo’s anti-feminism, anti-transgender and anti-Muslim positions are well known -- as is his role in the harassment-focused online movement known as GamerGate -- Maher offered almost no pushback against Milo.

10. Maher jokes about Tila Tequila being assaulted
In 2009, news broke that Tila Tequila claimed she’d been assaulted by then-boyfriend and San Diego Charger Shawne Merriman. Maher responded with a joke many found sexist: “New rule: Stop acting surprised someone choked Tila Tequila! The surprise is that someone hasn’t choked this bitch sooner.”

9. Maher claims Hillary Clinton cried for political gain

7. He gets into an Islamophobia argument with Ben Affleck
On a panel with actor Ben Affleck and author Sam Harris, Maher defended Harris’ assertions about Islam, including when Harris said “Islam at this moment is the mother lode of bad ideas.” The discussion turned into a shouting match, as Affleck quickly challenged the stance and bigotry related to discussions of Islam.

6. Maher compares One Direction’s Zayn Malik to Boston Marathon bomber
Singer Zayn Malik quit the band One Direction, prompting a few jokes from Maher during an episode.

Many saw the joke as one mocking both Malik’s appearance and his Muslim faith. Watch the clip.

5. He defends Bill O’Reilly’s joke about Maxine Waters
After former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ hair looked like a “James Brown wig,” Maher came to his defense on “Real Time.” Maher’s point: liberals can’t take a joke. Many criticized O’Reilly’s joke to be racist, and he later apologized. Watch the clip here.

4. Maher says dogs are like children with mental disabilities
In the middle of making some point about how he’s not lauded enough for raising dogs, Maher said dogs are “like retarded children.” Guests floundered both to address Maher’s use of the offensive word and the much more offensive comparison of children with disabilities to animals. Watch the clip.

2. Maher says 9/11 terrorists weren’t cowardly
Maher's ABC show “Politically Incorrect" was canceled in June 2002 after what he later explained was his attempt to level criticism against the American military. Less than a week after Sept. 11, 2001, Maher said the terrorists who stayed aboard planes were “warriors,” adding that the U.S. had been cowardly for firing cruise missiles at enemies “from 2,000 miles away.” The comment caused a row, as advertisers pulled out of the show. Watch the clip.
