The strike, which has been\u2062 going on\u200c for 135 days, is a \u200dresult \u2062of the Writers Guild of America&#8217;s demand \u2062for higher wages from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Maher, host of &#8220;Real Time,&#8221; took to X (formerly \u2062known as Twitter) to express his thoughts on the matter. &#8220;Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, \u200dsans writers or writing,&#8221; he wrote.

He expressed his love for his writers but emphasized that he cannot bear to see an entire year go to waste and witness the suffering \u2062of many below-the-line workers.<\/p>\n<p>Maher admitted that the show will\u2062 not\u2063 be up to its usual standards without the contributions of the \u200dwriters. \u200dThe absence of a monologue, \u200ddesk piece,\u2064 New Rules, and editorial segment, all of which are written \u200cparts of \u2063the show, \u2063will undoubtedly impact its quality. \u200cDespite this, Maher\u200d is\u2063 determined to bring\u200c people back to work.<\/p>\n<p>The Writers Guild of America\u2062 responded to Maher&#8217;s decision, expressing \u200ddisappointment and reminding him of his obligation as a WGA member to follow \u2063the strike rules and refrain from performing any writing services. The union also announced \u200bplans to picket at the show&#8217;s studio.<\/p>\n<p>Drew Barrymore, who\u2064 now hosts her\u200c own talk show, also\u2064 announced the return of her show\u200c for \u2062its fourth season. However, she made it clear that\u200d she will not\u2062 discuss or promote any film or television that is\u200c struck. Barrymore acknowledged\u2063 the larger significance of her decision, stating that her show was built for sensitive times\u200b and aims \u2062to provide a way to bring\u2062 people together and make sense of the human experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Writers\u2064 Guild of America, consisting of approximately 11,500 members, has been on strike for months. \u200cThe last time both the \u2062WGA and the Screen Actors Guild and the \u200dAmerican Federation of Television and Radio Artists were on strike simultaneously was in 1960, \u2064with Ronald Reagan leading\u2062 the charge before his presidential run. As of Thursday, SAG-AFTRA has \u200bbeen on strike for 62 days.<\/p>\n<p>It remains\u200b to be seen how these talk shows will fare without \u200dtheir writers, but \u2064one\u2062 thing is certain: the writers&#8217; strike has sparked a heated \u200bdebate about\u200d the value of their\u2064 labor and the\u2063 importance of their \u200dwork.<\/p>\n<h3>Click <a href=\"link\">here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk show hosts Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore defy writers strike, confirm show comebacks.
