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.

    idk what people find interesting about TV. Most of it is just mind-numbing shows

      I listen to his show as a podcast. I miss out on the imagery some of the bits require, but it’s still a great listen.

          He doesn’t, he used to. He’s a joke now.

          He realized that the crowds at the sad casinos he does his “comedy” at were aging rapidly. They increasingly wanted a “different” kind of “humor” and he’s as desperate as they come. So he sold out any morals/decency he had as a person so he can stay in the “spotlight” - even if that spotlight is aimed wrong and is housed at the smaller, more rundown theater in the Central Oklahoma’s third largest casino with a C from the health department that just had a big hepatitis outbreak.
