Talk shows supporting the writers’ strike are taking a break from their usual programming. After Drew Barrymore announced that she would be pausing her talk show until the end of the strike, two more shows have followed suit. “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and “The Talk” were both set to premiere today but have now delayed their premieres. CBS, the producer of “The Talk” and distributor of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” issued a statement saying they will assess a new launch date.
One talk show that has returned while still supporting the writers’ strike is “The Sherri Shepard Show.” During the show’s first day back on air, Shepard clarified that her show has never employed WGA writers and operates under a different SAG-AFTRA contract than those currently on strike.
As for other talk shows with WGA writers, “The View” premiered its new season earlier this month and has yet to respond to the strike. “The Kelly Clarkson Show” has also not announced any plans for a season premiere. However, Bill Maher’s show continues to move forward as usual.
It appears that more talk shows are feeling the pressure to support the writers’ strike and pause their productions until a resolution is reached. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see their favorite hosts back on screen, but it’s important to stand in solidarity with the writers who are fighting for fair and just treatment. Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.
