Bill Maher Is Latest TV Star to Delay Show After Strike Uproar

Comedian Bill Maher will delay the return of his HBO talk show Real Time, becoming the latest celebrity to backtrack after protests from striking writers and actors.

Maher, who like many other entertainers went on hiatus in May when the Writers Guild of America went on strike, had planned to restart his show. He joins other stars, including Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Hudson, who delayed the return of their programs following a backlash over the weekend.
