Bill Maher Plans to Start HBO’s ‘Real Time’ Without Writers
"Bill Maher will soon be operating by some “New Rules” — and not just the ones he makes up in the signature segment of his HBO program.
The comedian and commentator plans to re-start production of “Real Time” on HBO without writers, the first of TV’s phalanx of late-night hosts to try and do so despite the continuing Hollywood strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
“Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing,” Maher said on social media Wednesday night. “It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns.” All of TV’s late-night shows, ranging from NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” have gone dark since the writers went on strike earlier this year."
