Maher opened his monologue by delivering a few jokes at Smith’s expense. “I’m not here to humiliate Will Smith. He gets enough of that at home,” Maher told the audience.
From there, he took aim at Jada Pinkett Smith, declaring that she should feel “lucky” that Alopecia is her biggest medical problem.

What form of alopecia are you talking about?Ms Harmless wrote:no, her form of alopecia is not "part of ageing"; my partner has it and they're under 30

Jada's alopecia and needing to use a wheelchair are both forms of disability, and they can cross overtree_ wrote:Balding and not being able to walk are the same thing?Ms Harmless wrote:which sounds a bit like "if your wheelchair bothers you, drive a car"tree_ wrote:Just looked it up.
