'Drew Barrymore Show' picketed as it resumes taping amid strikes

Turiczek said he was unaware until he arrived for the taping that “The Drew Barrymore Show” staffed WGA writers, “thus crossing picket lines by starting again.”A spokesperson for “The Drew Barrymore Show” confirmed Monday to The Times that “due to heightened security concerns ... two audience members were not permitted to attend or were not allowed to access” the taping.

A spokesperson for CBS Media Ventures, which produces the “The Drew Barrymore Show,” told The Times on Sunday that its on-camera talent “will not be performing any writing work covered by the WGA strike.” The Emmy-nominated writers on the show also typically compose the “Drew’s News” segment — when the hosts comment on headlines of the day — and help formulate questions for guest interviews. They were tasked with writing and presenting Barrymore with a script before each taping.“Somebody still has to come up with topics. ... Maybe they’re not hiring scabs. Maybe they’re just doing it internally.
