Headline: Bill Maher claims writers are not 'owed a living' amid strike

Caption: During a recent discussion with comedian Jim Gaffigan on his Club Random podcast, the Real Time host, 67, stated that many of the strikers' demands were "kooky". "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.
