Writers Guild of America (WGA) remains on strike.
At the time, he said that “writers have important issues
that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed
to their satisfaction, but they are not the only
people with issues, problems and concerns.”.

and hope they can finally get this done, Bill Maher, via X.
Other shows that have reversed their decisions about resuming production include 'The Drew Barrymore Show,'.
