ET ― Following the nonstop criticism, Maher has apologized for using a racial slur on his Friday show. 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. PREVIOUSLY:“Inexcusable” and “tasteless.”Those are the words HBO used Saturday to describe Bill Maher’s use of the N-word on his talk show, “Real Time with Bill Maher.”The host used the offensive word during a segment with Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Friday’s show after he told Maher, “We’d love to have you work in the fields with us.”
