Attention Hollywood studio executives! “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show” will remain on hiatus until a fair deal is reached with striking film and TV writers. This decision reverses their previous plans to return without their writers on Monday, which could have sparked fierce backlash. Let’s prioritize fairness and support for the creative minds behind these shows.
In a similar vein, Drew Barrymore, the host of her own talk show, has decided to pause its premiere until the strike is over. After facing public criticism from the Writers Guild of America members and industry peers, Barrymore made the empathetic choice to stand in solidarity with her writers. It’s crucial for shows to recognize the impact of their decisions on the writing community.
All three daytime talk shows, including “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” employ Writers Guild of America members who are currently on strike. While HuffPost’s unionized staff, who are also WGA East members, are not participating in the strike, it’s important to acknowledge the support and unity within the writing community. Barrymore’s initial decision to resume her show without her writers raised eyebrows due to her previous support for the strike.
This situation serves as a reminder that any other shows attempting to return this fall without their writers will undoubtedly face criticism and scrutiny. The Writers Guild of America has promised to picket shows that resume production without their striking writers. For example, despite employing WGA writers, “The View” has continued to air new episodes during the strike, which has invited picketing from union members throughout the summer and this week.
On a positive note, a few other daytime talk shows, such as “Tamron Hall” and “Live With Kelly and Mark,” have already returned without WGA writers. This distinction highlights the importance of recognizing and supporting the writing community’s efforts.
