As the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes continue to roll on as the AMPTP attempts to get its house in order so that a respectful deal with the unions can be achieved, daytime talk showwill resume new shows beginning a week from this Monday."I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind," Barrymore shared in the lengthy explanation behind the 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.
