I was watching it live, and I knew right away that it would generate some articles.

It was the right joke, but probably wrong word. In my head it was house slave and then he went the extra mile. If I'm offended by anything it is that he went with 'ah' instead of 'er', if you are going to go there then go there. No one was ever a House 'ah' they were House 'ers', 'ah' is just the modern almost acceptable, but not really, we are taking it back, pretend variation of the word. If you are going to make the historical joke and have it stick, you have to go there.

Overall this won't affect Maher at all though. He handles controversy as a comedian pretty much perfectly (with a middle finger and calling whomever it is a pussy). Expect no apology and Maher doesn't give a fuck because he is secure in his self enough not to.
