Drew Barrymore Pauses Show's Return Until End of Strike | THR News Video
Drew Barrymore is pausing the return of her self-titled talk show amid the writers strike, and Jennifer Hudson, Bill Maher and 'The Talk' are following suit.
Last week, Barrymore revealed that 'The Drew Barrymore Show' would be returning without writers and would abide by strike rules in not discussing struck work.
After she received pushback, the actress and host shared a now-deleted apology video on Friday explaining her previous decision to return the show to production.
'The Drew Barrymore Show' is back but the host was notably silent on the controversy surrounding her show during the WGA strike. In the show's first new episode since May, Barrymore launched straight into her sit down with Shania Twain, at the singers Vegas farm - halfway across the country from her New York City studio, where she had previously been met with pickets after announcing plans to bring back her WGA-covered daytime talk show without WGA writers in the midst of the strike.
