Bill Maher reverses decision to bring back show amid strike negotiations, hopes they 'finally get this done'

Piers Morgan weighs in on the return of Bill Maher's'Real Time' amid writers strike on'One Nation with Brian Kilmeade.' After initially declaring his show would return amid the writers strike, talk show host Bill Maher announced Monday he has reversed that decision for the time being. "Real Time with Bill Maher's" 21st season was cut short after Hollywood writers went on strike in May. Writers are asking for higher pay, a guaranteed number of writers per room, better residuals and safeguards around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the writing process in their list of demands. With no foreseeable end to the strike, Maher initially revealed that the show would return without writers and simply skip the segments that rely on writers.
