Maher criticized the WGA strike during a discussion with comedian Jim Gaffigan on the “Club Random” podcast. His HBO talk show “Real Time” ended its most recent season in April just before strike, shared his thoughts after Gaffigan noted the strike might kill late-night T.V. for good.
“They’re asking for a lot of things that are, like, kooky,” Maher said about the WGA. “What I find objectionable about the philosophy of the strike [is] it seems to be, they have really morphed a long way from 2007’s strike, where they kind of believe that you’re owed a living as a writer, and you’re not. This is show business. This is the make-or-miss league.”
The WGA strike started in May and hit the 100-day mark last month.
