Drew Barrymore is sorry. The actress who announced the return of her talk show on September 12 attracted the ire of striking writers. She apologized on her Instagram account, in a video seen by CNN.
“I don’t think there’s anything I can do or say right now to fix things,” he says.
“I wanted to make my own decision,” he explains again. […] “I take full responsibility for my actions,” he adds, presenting “his most sincere apologies” to the scriptwriters and the unions. Filming of the show will resume on Monday.
Late programs stopped
“We will not talk about or promote films and series affected by the strike,” he promised a few days ago when he announced the return of his program. CBS also argued that the program, a talk show titled The Drew Barrymore Show It wasn’t written.
Most American late shows are currently on hiatus due to the strike. Star hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and John Oliver even launched a joint podcast to support the strike movement. Some programs are still continuing.
Following the announcement of her exhibition’s resumption, the National Book Foundation canceled its invitation to Drew Barrymore, who was to host the National Book Awards ceremony.
Screenwriters have been on strike in Hollywood since May 2. To date, no agreement has been reached to better compensate scriptwriters with streaming profits or to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industry.
