Someone posted the clip on the old sub once -- Nick Mullen started the episode by singing "Bill Maher the n****r guy" to the tune of the Bill Nye theme, and the other hosts riffed on it. It was pretty disgusting, but it definitely didn't happen on Bill Maher's show.
Bill Maher wasn't really making fun of racism, as long as we're pointing things out. The joke was just that he's not tough enough to be outdoors, and he used a slur to make it.
This was in the context of Maher and Ben Sasse commiserating about adults dressing up for Halloween and Sasse suggesting that Maher come out to Nebraska, because they don't do that out there apparently.
I watched this happen, I gotta share just how bad it was. Especially in the context of this author fumbling the facts this badly.

EDIT: this is it, CW: slurs of course
