Bill Maher to resume show despite ongoing Hollywood strikes
- Comedian Bill Maher is returning to television without his writing staff, becoming the first late-night host to do so during the ongoing writers' strike. Despite acknowledging that the show will not be as good without the writers, Maher plans to continue the heart of the show: off-the-cuff panel discussions that aim to cut through the bullshit and predictable partisanship.
- The Writers Guild of America strike, which started on May 2, has left Maher's staff struggling and out of work for months. While he sympathizes with the writers' issues, Maher is not prepared to see so many below-the-line people suffer so much and wants to bring people back to work.
- Maher's decision to return without his writers marks a departure from his peers, who have gone dark since the strike. However, other shows like Drew Barrymore's daytime talk show, 'The Jennifer Hudson Show,' and 'The Talk' have also announced their return, signaling a shift in the entertainment industry amid the ongoing strike.
