writers strike going for several months. “I love all those guys, I do, but… the formula of ‘Real Time,’ obviously it’s less of a celebrity interview, turn and burn thing, but like it hasn’t felt any of the effects of that,” Gaffigan said. “Like I think this strike is going to kill the late night show that we grew up with.”“Why is the strike killing it?” Maher asked.
“I don’t get it.”“Well, because it’s off the air,” Gaffigan responded. Maher then questioned how late night as an “art form” has lasted this long in the modern era while separating his own HBO program, which has also been halted due to the writers’ strike, from his other competitors. “This is, again, no knock on the guys who do it, but I don’t know how this art form has survived up until now,” Maher said.
“I mean, I understand why I’m on because I’m on HBO. It’s an hour without commercials. And I mean, sorry, it’s a lot more entertaining, it’s a lot more edgy, it’s a lot more unpredictable.

What I don’t get is this era of watching — what sponsors are sponsoring a show that’s on after most people go to bed in an era when you can do anything at any time.”He continued, “You know, you can watch anything- you get into bed, you can watch Netflix, you can watch HBO, you can watch YouTube, you can watch anything that was ever made, or do video games.
Even if you wanted to watch this late night stuff, wouldn’t you watch it sometime when you could zip through the commercials and just see the stuff you like. It just seems so anachronistic. I don’t know how it survives until now.”Gaffigan attempted to explain why shows belonging to Colbert as well as Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have lasted as long as they have, telling Maher people
