The controversy began during Maher’s recent interview with Sen. Ben Sasse. After Sasse joked that his home state of Nebraska would “love to have you work in the fields with us,” Maher laughed and referred to himself as a “house n****.”

“Sources close to Cube tell us he will NOT cancel the appearance, which was scheduled before Maher’s controversial joke,” writes the site. “Sen. Al Franken was also scheduled, but chose to bail.”

“What Bill Maher said was inappropriate and offensive, which is why he made the decision not to appear on the next episode of Real Time,” Franken’s rep told the New York Times Monday. “He was glad to see Bill, who the senator considers to be a good friend, apologize and express sincere regret for his comment.”

Maher has since, apologized.

“Friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because I’m up reflecting on the things I should or shouldn’t have said on my live show,” said Maher after the backlash ensued. “Last night was a particularly long night as I regret the word I used in the banter of a live moment. The word was offensive, and I regret saying it and am very sorry.”
