Maher's a scab, no surprise to anyone paying attention to him.
Yeah. He's also despised by most of his peers, so it's not like he can join anyone in raising money for his staff - like the daily talk show hosts who started a podcast to raise money for staff salaries.
It's not supposed to be easy, it's a strike.
Fucking Scab Maher, lol...
He totally peaked in that House movie where he played himself.
The worst part of an otherwise pretty great movie
I like Maher, but he definitely doesn't have a track record of supporting fellow guild members.
But he won't lose much, he's rich and probably at the tail end of his career tbh. There aren't a lot of future benefits he'll be missing out on if he's kicked out of SAG or the WGA.
I also think his more extreme views make him tough to cast for larger roles, nowadays.
I don't find his views extreme, nor do I think that perception would keep him from getting roles (Chris Pratt and Zachary Levi have been able to get roles, for example). But I don't think he wants to act at all. Wouldn't be shocked to see him want to write though.
Fair enough!
Bill Maher has been a sniveling rat for as long as I can remember so this tracks. Eat shit you fucking scab
I was really happy not hearing Maher’s name for, like, 2-3 months.
Dammit.
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.
