Bill Maher postpones return to the air, the latest TV host to balk at working during writers strike

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 between producers and writers this week. “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 said via social media.
