I was really happy not hearing Maher’s name for, like, 2-3 months.
Dammit.
Bill Maher has been a sniveling rat for as long as I can remember so this tracks. Eat shit you fucking scab
Fuck Bill Maher
I’ll take King’s opinion over Maher’s on pretty much any topic.
Cunt scab.
I wonder, he usually has guests, most of them are probably part of SAG or the WGA, I assume the quality of his show is going to tank (f on where it already was)
This isn’t the first time talk shows resumed without writers. The quality last time was absolutely terrible.
The irony though is that last time it helped resolve the strike. Letterman, who owns his own production company, struck a separate deal with the union. That meant that his show was the only one with writers, and it put a ton of pressure on his peers. But most of them were large, corporate production companies, so they had to swallow terms they didn’t like.
Man is afraid people will realize he’s no longer relevant. In effort to avoid this, he gives proof of irrelevance.
I highly doubt this. He gave a good reason to scab, even if I disagree with his decision.
Did he though? I bet the staff wouldn’t be struggling so much if he paid them more in the first place. Nvm there’s plenty of other ways to help your staff as proven by others.
Yep, read his statement explaining why he’s coming back
Yeah, I’m sure he’s doing it for the lowest paid people on his show, not too fill his bank account or anything… I’m sure he’s paid a similar amount to all of his staff /s
I mean, the dude’s broke, he definitely needs the money! /s
The greed is real
I bet the staff wouldn’t be struggling so much if he paid them more in the first place
People struggle when they don’t get paid due to not working. This shouldn’t be surprising. “Just pay them more” doesn’t work here unless you want everyone to be getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for every job, at which point inflation goes to 100% a year and you end up paying $5000 for an apple.
Writers, the ones complaining, get paid a shitload for their work. They get paid $100k for about 7 weeks work…and they want more… and they’ve somehow convinced the public who earn significantly less than them to stand up for them and fight to make them more money lol. One of the best grifts of all time tbh.

As always
People’s role models are a direct reflection of themselves.
Eh. I like Maher but I don’t support this move.
