New York CNN —Bill Maher said his show is returning to air — despite the WGA writer’s strike raging on.
“Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing,” Maher said on Instagram Wednesday.
“It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work.”Maher’s show is an HBO original.
Maher said he is not willing “to lose an entire year and see so many below-the-line people suffer so much.”“Real Time with Bill Maher” is not the only show coming back on air.
Maher said the quality of his show won’t be as good without his writers but that he will “honor the spirit of the strike.” Maher said he won’t perform written pieces such as a monologue, desk piece, New Rules or editorial.
