While most of the talk and news show hosts are going as Rock Stars because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, Drew Barrymore went as Bob Ross on The Drew Barrymore Show today. And because of that, she wins the genre! No one even came close to topping her costume as the Happy Hippy Painter whom everyone loves!

Gwyneth Paltrow was on The Drew Barrymore Show today, and Drew Barrymore revealed that she wears control-top granny panties. Well, some of the time. That is because she went commando for the GOOP lady.
NBC has been hush-hush about when Kelly Clarkson was going to debut her daytime talk show in its new home of New York City. Well, today, they broke their silence. The singer’s talk show will be back on October 16th.
She is not the only one hitting the airwaves on that day; so is Drew Barrymore. Unlike Clarkson, Barrymore attempted but failed to bring her show back while the WGA strike was still going on. So, I am sure her show will start with a teary-eyed apology.
The only daytime talk show we are waiting to hear from is The Talk. And I am assuming, since it is a CBS show like Barrymore’s, that it will also be back on the 16th.
Hopefully, by then, the SAG strike will be over, and actors can talk about their work again! Actually, I just want the actors to get a fair contract and be able to go back to work.
Last week, Drew Barrymore, The Talk, and Jennifer Hudson went back into production and planned on premiering the new season of their daytime talk shows tomorrow. And the striking workers of the Writers Guild of America, along with actors, were not happy with their decisions.
Therefore, they started picketing their shows because even though they are cleared by the Screen Actors Guild to do their talk shows, they are not from the WGA because they have writers from the union who work there.
So, on Friday, Barrymore released a tearful apology video, and she got attacked again. So, today, she made an announcement. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” she wrote. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”
Shortly after her announcement, The Talk and Jennifer Hudson followed suit.
I hope that the AMPTP finally negotiates a fair contract ASAP because this is really hurting people. They have billions of dollars, and most of the people who work in show business have just hundreds left in their bank accounts. It is really bad here. People who aren’t even in the industry are struggling because they depend on the studios and their employees to keep their businesses alive.
It is disgusting how the AMPTP has handled this whole situation. Wait until they find out that you can’t take it with you in hell.
Drew Barrymore had finished taping the third season of her daytime talk show before the Writers’ Strike began.
However, the strike started days before she was set to host the MTV Film and Television Awards, so she opted to cancel hosting that show.
So, we have been wondering if she would return to her talk show before the Writers’ and Actors’ strikes are over, especially since SAG allows her to do it.
Today, she announced her decision: “I made a choice to walk away from the MTV, film and television awards because I was the host and it had a direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with which was studios, streamers, film, and television. It was also in the first week of the strike and so I did what I thought was the appropriate thing at the time to stand in solidarity with the writers. And to be clear, our talk show actually wrapped on April 20th so we never had to shut down the show. However, I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me.
“I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind. We launched live in a global pandemic. Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real time. I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience. I hope for a resolve for everyone as soon as possible. We have navigated difficult times since we first came on air. And so I take a step forward to start season 4 once again with an astute humility.”
The Drew Barrymore Show will return with new episodes on September 18th.
