"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.
She added, "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."
