Though Barrymore is not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules for continuing to host her daytime talk show, she has run afoul of the WGA

“I think in general, this is obviously bigger than us three writers on,” White said. “It is a bummer to hear that the show is going back because it sends a message that union writers are not valuable. And it goes directly against what the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, all the unions are trying to band together to stand up against the greedy studios.”

Last week, CBS announced the popular daytime talk show, which is in its fourth season, will begin airing on Monday, September 18. As far as SAG-AFTRA strike rules, Barrymore is technically allowed to film the daytime talk show because even though she’s a SAG member herself, guild contracts for talk shows were renewed last year. Butalso employs members of the Writers Guild of America, so people aren’t fully sold on the ethics of making the TV show sans those writers.
