Drew Barrymore returned to daytime television Monday, Oct. 16, with no mention of the tumult that engulfed her show during the final stages of the Writers Guild of America strike.
The first episode of The Drew Barrymore Show was dedicated almost entirely to a 30-minute interview with country legend Shania Twain. The pair discussed classic Barrymore topics like trust, relationships, and therapy — in this case equine therapy — as well as Taylor Swift and going clubbing with their mothers as children. (“I had this passion for music and I thought, ‘Well I...

The Drew Barrymore Show launched its fourth season Monday, and not a word was spoken about the strikes and controversy that has surrounded the show in recent weeks. Barrymore introduced her guest Shania Twain, saying to the audience, “Alright everybody, welcome to season four. Let’s go girls,” without comment about her return following the recently ended writers strike and ongoing actors strike.
Barrymore went straight into her interview that was filmed with Twain at the Grammy-winning artist’s Vegas ranch.
As announced earlier this month, the show returned without its writers, WGA members Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon and Liz Koe, who decided to depart the show. Sources close to the show confirmed to Deadline that it extended three offers to the trio as soon as they were allowed to after the strike but they declined. It began interviewing writers and said that it would be in compliance with the guild.

Drew Barrymore’s in hot water following drama surrounding the Writers Guild of America strike. When writers began striking, the Never Been Kissed actor announced her plan to continue The Drew Barrymore Show. And, of course, she paid the price. Barrymore issued an apology following the announcement. But it might be too little too late, as her show might now be in jeopardy.
Several writers for ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ have declined to return to the show following scab drama
During the WGA strike, Drew Barrymore hoped to resume filming The Drew Barrymore Show. Of course, writers, actors, and fans took issue.

Drew Barrymore came under fire last month when she announced that she would be bringing The Drew Barrymore Show back despite the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. This prompted an immediate backlash. Although Barrymore attempted to “own this choice,” the damage was done and she reversed the decision the following week. Now that the WGA strike is over, The Drew Barrymore Show is set to return once again, but THR reports that the head writers, Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon, and Liz Koe, have declined to return with it. Uh oh.
Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon, and Liz Koe have been with The Drew Barrymore Show since the first season and clearly weren’t happy with Barrymore’s actions. The trio did receive offers for the new seasons once the strike concluded, but they turned them down. The show is now interviewing new writers to take over.

Three writers on “The Drew Barrymore Show” have declined their invitation to return to the daytime talk show as it gears up for its second post-strike return, TheWrap has learned.
Following controversy surrounding the show’s return to production amid the writers’ strike — a choice that Barrymore said she “owned” — Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon and Liz Koe have opted not to return to their former gig.
After the show picked back up plans for its delayed return, the daytime talker extended offers to the writers as soon as they could, to which all three declined, according to an individual with knowledge of the show’s staffing decisions. The series is actively interviewing for new writers and intends to be in compliance with the guild as it moves forward.

The daytime talk show revealed this morning that it would return on October 16. This comes after Barrymore originally planned to return on September 18 when the writers were still striking and then reversed her decision after much picketing and outcry from WGA members.
However, the show will now be without three WGA members of its own – Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon and Liz Koe – who have decided not to return to the show, Deadline has confirmed. The trio are co-head writers.

The trio of women share the title co-head writer and have been with the series since its first season, and were seen picketing outside of Drew‘s Manhattan studio on multiple days, with signs that read, “Honk if you [love] union labor” or “Drew’s News: Strikes.”
Drew‘s initial decision to return prompted plenty of backlash. And after a tearful apology video, which she quickly deleted, she ultimately decided to halt production on the show until the strikes were over.

Writers picketing ABC’s The View on Thursday in New York City reacted guardedly to news that negotiations between their striking union and the production studios were continuing for a second consecutive day this week.
They cited an earlier effort at restarting contract talks that quickly broke off and led to more public sparring between the Writers Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
“You can’t ever guess too much because every time it seems like the tone is different, it’s like, ‘all right, nothing happened,’” writer, actor and comedian Larry Wilmore told Deadline outside the ABC television studio complex in Manhattan where The View has continued production despite the guild designating the daytime talk mainstay as a struck show.

Drew Barrymore has not had a great week -- and for good reason. When she announced that her daytime talk show "The Drew Barrymore Show" would be returning amidst the ongoing Writer's Guild of America strike, people were understandably very upset about this. If you were going to stand in solidarity with your writers, then the notion of bringing back the show should be an immediate non-starter. Even the show's co-head writer, Cristina Kinon, publicly spoke out about the terrible decision. The return stood in stark contrast to her decision to drop out of hosting the MTV Movie and TV Awards due to strike solidarity.
Well, after a week of doubling down and tearful apologies, it turns out "The Drew Barrymore Show" will not be returning on September 18, 2023 after all. They did film episodes of the show — which infamously included kicking strike supporters out of the audience — but they will...

The “Drew Barrymore Show”‘s co-head writer, Cristina Kinon, is attempting to change her boss, Drew Barrymore’s decision to resume her daytime talk show on September 18.
While chatting with The Daily Beast, Kinon made efforts to send Barrymore a message after it was announced last week that the talk show would be returning amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which has since garnered backlash.
Although Barrymore, as a host, isn’t violating any SAG-AFTRA rules by returning to work, her talk show employs WGA writers like Kinon. As a result, it won’t be able to execute any writing work that the WGA covers.

“The Drew Barrymore Show” sustained striking members of the Writers Guild as it returned to the studio on Monday to film two episodes of the upcoming fourth season.
The protesters gathered outside New York’s CBS Broadcast Center early Monday morning as they marched against the show’s return and attempted to prevent Barrymore and her guests from crossing their picket line. Nonetheless, their efforts didn’t stop the show from going on as the daytime talk show host and her unknown guests snuck in through the back of the blocks-long CBS complex.
The show also welcomed back in-studio audiences at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. However, two college students who scored tickets to the taping claimed they were kicked out of the building after security officers noticed them wearing WGA strike buttons.
“We even offered to take them off,” Cassidy Carter told Deadline outside the CBS building, minutes after being thrown out.

This is Day 133 of the WGA strike and Day 60 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Members of the striking Writers Guild gathered outside the CBS Broadcast Center in New York early Monday morning to protest the restart of The Drew Barrymore Show and to discourage the daytime talk host and her guests from crossing their picket line.
It didn’t work, entirely: In what played out like cat-and-mouse between picketers and the show, Barrymore slipped in undetected to tape a pair of episodes with in-studio audiences at 11 and 1 p.m., as did her guests. There had been suggestions that guests included Oprah Winfrey and Brooke Shields, but Deadline understands that is incorrect.
One audience member said the guests at the first taping were on-air regulars from CBS Mornings.
Two college students with tickets to the taping never got that far: They told Deadline they were kicked out when security officers spotted them wearing WGA strike buttons.
