Drew Barrymore Bypasses WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’

Drew Barrymore, the celebrated actress and talk show host, made a conspicuous choice to sidestep the recent turmoil surrounding the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike and the ongoing Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike during the premiere of the fourth season of her talk show, “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

The 48-year-old actress chose to forgo any mention of the controversy that had arisen over her decision to resume the show’s broadcast in the midst of the writer’s strike, a choice that had garnered significant attention.

In the latest episode of her talk show, which aired this Monday, Drew Barrymore engaged in a lively interview with country music sensation Shania Twain. A noteworthy departure from the norm was the show’s location; instead of the usual New York City studio, the episode was shot at Twain’s Las Vegas farm.

During their conversation, the two stars covered a gamut of topics, including Shania Twain’s profound affection for horses, her early maturity stemming from her parents’ untimely deaths, her ongoing Las Vegas residency, and her personal and creative aspirations. Notably, the discussion steered clear of any mention of the WGA or SAG strikes.

Critics did not pull their punches when it came to evaluating the episode. Variety, in particular, described it as “meandering” and even humorously suggested that it “could use stronger writing.”

The recent history of The Drew Barrymore Show has been marked by significant shifts and controversies. Just a short while ago, three co-head writers of the show declared their decision not to return for the fourth season. This decision followed Drew Barrymore’s initial announcement of her intent to relaunch the show during the ongoing WGA strike, a decision that had sparked substantial backlash. It appears that the consequences of that initial choice continue to reverberate.

Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon, and Liz Koe, who had been key contributors as co-head writers, declined the job offers for the show’s upcoming fourth season, signifying the far-reaching effects of the decisions surrounding the strike-related controversies.
