Drew Barrymore's anti-union daytime talk show


Showbiz411 reports briefly on Drew Barrymore's talk show being back on the air in spite of the strikes.

Barrymore was going to host an MTV Movie & TV awards show, but she backed out because of the strike, then she goes back to her TV show.

From Showbiz 411:

Dominic Turiczek and his friends won tickets to today’s taping of the first episode of the new season. He didn’t know about the WGA strike but he does now. On his way in. Turiczek was handed a WGA strike pin. But when he got inside the taping, he was thrown out.

Today’s taping included Brooke Shields, a member of SAG AFTRA, which is on strike, and her producer, Ali Wentworth, wife of George Stephanopolous, promoting their documentary which is not part of any strike. No one seems to know about bad optics. This is a bad look, ladies, and not going to win friends or Emmy voters.

Ironically, WGA strike pins are available on Amazon. I didn't look anywhere else.
