Drew Barrymore’s Co-Head Writer Says Drew ‘Will Prolong the Strike’ by Resuming Show: ‘It’s Not Too Late’ to ‘Stand in Solidarity’ With the WGA

’s co-head writer Cristina Kinon is sending a message to her boss: It’s not too late to scrap the decision to resume “The Drew Barrymore Show” amid the strikes.since announcing her daytime talk show is returning Sept. 18 while the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes remain ongoing. While Barrymore herself is not violating SAG-AFTRA rules as a host , her show does employ WGA writers like Kinon. In its return, the show will not be performing any writing work covered by the WGA.

However, Kinon suggested that it’s important for Barrymore to adhere to the strike because the WGA is just a small fish in a big pond. After Barrymore announced her show’s return, CBS’ “The Talk” and HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” set their own returns without WGA writers. ABC’s “The View” had already been airing new episodes when Barrymore made her announcement.

“I don’t see how what I do is different from writing for a scripted show, or writing feature films—which I also do,” Kinon added. “We’re all trying to make a career out of writing, and the AMPTP is trying to slowly chip away at that. And they wouldn’t have anything without writers; writers are the seed of all of creation.”
