STAND-UP SMACKDOWN

Maher and Chappelle trade vicious punchlines over politics

- 

Bill criticized Dave for saying "it's easier to talk [in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia] than it is in America"

BILL MAHER is fast finding himself the most hated man in Tinseltown after his latest blowup with fellow funnyman Dave Chappelle!

Half Baked star Dave bashed Maher, who ripped him for performing in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Maher was among many critics of The Chappelle Show star and other comics, including Pete Davidson, Bill Burr, Aziz Ansari, Jimmy Carr and Louis C.K., who performed at the festival, pointing to the country's lack of free speech, record of human rights abuses and role in 9/11.
