I was channel surfing last night and was surprised to see that Bill Maher was on with a new, live episode (Saturday night, not Friday). His monologue was terrible as always, but probably even worse than I've seen. He had some interesting interviews and panelists, but no "New Rules" at the end.
He also did a little commentary about the writer's strike towards the end, which was really interesting. I'm obviously paraphrasing here, but basically he said that he loves and supports his own writers, but he thinks that the strike is misguided by those at the top. It really surprised me how he cam out like this. Letterman, Leno Stewart and the others I've seen back at work have shown nothing but support for the strike (even if didn't support it privately, they publicly supported it).
Did anyone else here see Maher's show? Any other thoughts? I will say this: Bill Maher does need his writers more than ever. He seems lost without them.
