Bill Maher left his compassion at the stage door during Friday night’s “Real Time” when he not only downplayed Jada Pinkett Smith’s sensitivity about her alopecia-caused hair loss, but he also mockingly advised her, “just put on a f—ing wig like everybody else at the Oscars if it bothers you so much.”The comedian offered his opinion on the events of last Sunday’s Oscars, when Chris Rock joked about Smith’s stylish bald head, which prompted her husband, Will Smith, to jump out of his seat and onto the stage, where he slapped a stunned Rock on live TV.“Real Time” panel guests Laura Coates and Andrew Yang joined Maher in a discussion about the incident. He said that it wasn’t until the night of the awards that he had ever heard of alopecia, its symptoms and that Pinkett Smith had it. And the conversation went south from there.“I mean, if you are so lucky in life as to have that be your medical problem, just say ‘thanks, God,'” Maher said of hair loss.

By the early 1990s, the Grammy voting body had become ever more out-of-touch, complacent, arrogant and, most of all, old.
