Wanda Sykes Reveals Bill Maher Confronted Her in Parking Lot After Golden Globes Joke [View all]

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.'"
