New York CNN —Bill Maher has changed his mind and isn’t bringing back his HBO talk show amid the ongoing writer’s strike.
“My decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening and there was no end in sight to this strike,” Maher wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Last week, Maher said he would bring back his talk show, which ignited outrage from members of the WGA since his show employs a number of union members.
Over the weekend, Drew Barrymore changed her mind about bringing back her talk show this week after she caught a slew of backlash from Hollywood.
CBS’s “The Talk,” as well as Jennifer Hudson’s syndicated talk show, also postponed their season premieres.
