Bill Maher is out one big guest for his next live show on HBO this Friday -- Senator Al Franken just canceled his appearance.
Franken announced Monday he won't be appearing alongside Maher for Friday's episode. A spokesperson for Franken said Maher's use of the n-word last week was the reason.
A spokesperson for Franken tells us, "Senator Franken believes that what Bill Maher said was inappropriate and offensive ... He was glad to see Bill, who the Senator considers to be a good friend, apologize and express sincere regret for his comment."
This would seemingly be the first real professional consequence Bill has faced since using the racial slur. As we reported, HBO isn't going to can him ... and his tour dates are fine for now.
Ice Cube is also scheduled to appear on Maher's show this week. Unclear if he'll go through with it.

and was Maher inferring in return that Sasse was a ‘field n*gga’ in the US Senate?
Liberals are so easy to see through when they publicly pretend to protest against something they all do and have no problem with.
Bill thought he was part of the club, now he finding out he is not.
And you just know secretly Al Frankenfurter is loving what Kathy Griffin and Bill Maher had done, but he doesn’t want it to affect his book sales.
Megyn Kelly gets pushback for looking like a troll when she tried gotcha questions with pooty poot, and she looked like the biggest fool on tv when he schooled her on every “russia rigged the election” questions.
Yeah, I wonder how many times he used the word.
Behind the scenes Al Frankenfurter is high fiving the likes of Bill Maher for saying what he did, and Kathy Griffin for trashing Trump in the way she did. He is just pretending to be outraged.
That's what they said when Maher had his "Politically Incorrect" show and went on his rant about how the 9/11 terrorists "weren't cowardly" and that the United States is the "real cowards"
That scumbag was back on the air a few months later.
He did.... but only after hearing from his constituents.
White liberals better get in line! The “N” word is reserved for blacks to use on each other only!
to be sure maher will be saying he was ‘identifying’ as a negro rapper when he said it.
Honestly, I don’t know what the context was, so not so sure just how “terrible” this is. We treat this word as the ONLY thing that must not be said, and if it is, then you’d think you’d done murder.
Even in the worst context, not sure he deserves the level of retribution put by Kathy Griffin for her disgusting yet glib reference to REAL Moslem atrocities, using a very clear representation of the president.
Maher would win points with me if he replaces Franken with some rap artist who sings the n-word constantly in his music.
The house ns or the field n-s?
Clearly, it's the Senate n-----s.
pong
That is correct,it is all about book sales and money. He would do anything for money. I hope he uses the money for a complete face lift,and reconstructive surgery.
‘.....Hes about to discover that apologizing only means youre guilty.’
