The other black guy on the panel was comically dismissive of him and, as the kids say, "disrespected" him for the entire time.

And the liberal atheist host told him to shut his ####ing mouth a few times.

I agree that Maher shouldn't give these people a soapbox, but this time at least, they did kick the soapbox out from underneath him, and everyone laughed.

Also, Bill Maher is annoying as hell. But I did enjoy this.
That is the guy's ambition. He's not out to look good. I'm sure he was delighted when people protested him at Berkeley as well. It furthers his goal of getting attention, and the people who are his fans will not be taking Larry Wilmore's critiques seriously anyways. Bill Maher helped that guy succeed merely by giving him the platform to play the villain.
