Bill Maher Thanks WGA for Swiftly Resuming Shows After Strike
Bill Maher returned to HBO's "Real Time" after the Writers Guild of America strike, offering mild thanks to the union for settling the five-month work stoppage. Maher had previously faced backlash for announcing the show's return without his WGA writers, but was forced to delay due to pushback from the striking guilds. In the return episode, Maher engaged in a discussion with GOP presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis about his credibility and chances of winning a general election.
