Bill Maher has delayed returning to his HBO talk show during the ongoing strike by writers and actors, a decision that follows similar pauses over the weekend by “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

Maher last week said he would bring his show back into production, but on Monday said he’ll wait because talks are scheduled to begin between producers and writers on Wednesday.

    He didn’t balk. He was ready to go until people were mad about it. Fuck that guy, and fuck this headline for making it sound like he cared.

      Lol it’s a pretty standard opinion, actually. Maybe one of the most shared opinions across the American political spectrum.

            I think you can have sense and still find him a little entertaining. He’s definitely a bit full of himself, but I enjoy hearing someone talk shit a little shit about the left.

            Guess I did get a little tired of him, haven’t watched his show in like a year. But I wouldn’t say I hate him.

              He’s a disgusting individual who regularly courts the fascist alt-right while making statements where we routinely attacks average people.

      It’s not controversial. Anybody with the level of success he’s reached has a trillion trolls and haters. You can’t make everyone like you… especially when you speak your mind about everything.
