The Writers Guild of America is encouraging members to begin picketing outside of "The Drew Barrymore Show" on Monday, after news broke that taping will resume amidst an ongoing strike.
According to Vanity Fair, CBS announced last week that Barrymore's show would begin broadcasting new episodes on Sept. 18, sourcing information from a network spokesperson suggesting that the show's resumption didn't conflict with Barrymore's pro-union stance, as the talk show "will not be performing any writing work covered by the WGA strike." Weighing in on the matter, WGA spokesperson Jason Gordon told the outlet that this doesn't really fly as, "The Drew Barrymore Show is a WGA-covered struck television show." Furthering that the show "has stayed off the air since the strike began on May 2nd, but has now (unfortunately) decided to return without its writers."
