Bill Maher posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathise with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns.” Like Drew, the return of Maher's show faced criticism and the WGA announced picketing his show.
