Drew Barrymore's Talk Show Faces Controversy Amid WGA Strike

"The Jennifer Hudson Show" and "The Talk" are set to return to television without their writers amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. "The Jennifer Hudson Show" plans to resume production this week and intends to bring back WGA writers once a new contract is in place. "The Talk" is eyeing a September 18 return, but it remains uncertain if all co-hosts will return. "The Kelly Clarkson Show" is currently building its new set but has not begun filming for the new season. Drew Barrymore's decision to resume her talk show without writers has faced criticism, while other shows like "Live! With Kelly and Mark" and "Tamron Hall" have already returned as they are not WGA shows.
