REUTERS/Danny Moloshok/File photoLOS ANGELES, Sept 18 - Comedian Bill Maher said on Monday he is postponing the return to his HBO political show “Real Time," becoming the second talk show host to reverse plans after an outcry from striking Hollywood writers and actors.
Maher said he will delay the return to the show “for now,” he wrote on X, formerly know as Twitter, now that the Writers Guild of America and the studios have decided to return to the negotiating table.“My decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening and there was no end in sight to this strike,” said Maher, who is a WGA member. Maher said he hoped "they can finally get this done.
The WGA said it was "difficult to imagine" how Maher could host the show and still comply with strike rules. The union said members would picket the filming of the show. The proposed return of "The Drew Barrymore Show" to CBS drew picketers from the striking writers' and actors' unions as taping resumed last week.
