"MTV Awards showcase iconic stars and highlight the role of writers"
Drew Barrymore's character from Never Been Kissed, Josie Geller, made a crossover appearance in a pre-taped sketch for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, despite the actress dropping out of hosting the event in solidarity with the writers' strike. In the sketch, Josie encounters characters from various nominated movies and TV shows, including Nope, Wednesday, and Cocaine Bear, in her search for her first kiss. Barrymore has previously revisited the character on her talk show and TikTok.
