Wanda Sykes Reveals Bill Maher Confronted Her in Parking Lot After Golden Globes Joke

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Not every comedian is thrilled to find themselves on the receiving end of a punchline.

During a recent appearance on Vulture's Good One podcast, comedian Wanda Sykes recalled an awkward encounter with Bill Maher following January's Golden Globes ceremony, where a joke she delivered at his expense apparently struck a nerve.

Her joke was simple: "Bill Maher, you give us so much, but I would love a little less. Just try less."

"Oh, he stopped me out in the parking lot," recounted Sykes. "We were waiting for our cars. And he was like, 'What was that about?' I was like, 'It's a joke, Bill.' He was like, 'Well, I mean, it wasn't even a joke.' I said, 'Oh, no, I heard laughter. It was clearly a joke.'"

1. Fuck Bill Maher

2. You beat me to it.

3. He's thin skinned like trump

He can dish it out but can't take it. I also find it creepy the way he approached her.

4. For a comedian, Maher takes himself way too seriously.

As my father told me when I was 14, "Laugh at yourself first, son. Otherwise others will do it for you."

5. He imagines he has 4-dimensional punch lines

He never really did jokes, per se. His thing was mostly pointing our absurdities, which are plentiful. But these days, he is on the side of the absurdities more often than not. That leaves little room for humor.

6. Maher is a typical right winger. Don't say anything about them but they

can say what they want about you.

7. New Rules: Maher Derangement Syndrome

8. Yes. Maher is deranged
