Barrymore had been called a “scab” for deciding to bring her daytime talk show back before the end of Hollywood’s writers’ strike.

Members of the WGA-EAST and SAG-AFTRA picket outside of The Drew Barrymore Show as audience membersGetty ImagesThe Writers Guild of America have been on strike for 138 days in a move that could soon become the largest WGA labor stoppage since a 154-day strike in 1988.

The SAG-AFTRA union, which represents 160,000 actors and other performers, joined the writers on strike on July 13, bringing much of Hollywood to a halt, though Barrymore’s daytime talk show hosting duties aren’t covered by the actors’ strike as long as she or union members don’t discuss film or TV projects on her show. Both groups are pushing for artificial intelligence protections and greater residual payments for shows on streaming platforms.
