I start looking at the layout of the show and thinking about if I’m going to ad-lib an intro for a guest. On Sundays I’ll usually roast two drumsticks, and he either eats it whole or I’ll put it in spaghetti or lasagna or sometimes it’s chicken mac and cheese. BED PREP, DINNER PREP One of us sits at the dinner table and eats with my son. I do a lot of the prep work on Saturday night. SPLIT SCREENS After dinner, I’m a binge-watcher of TV.

NEW YORK (AP) — Drew Barrymore, who drew criticism for taping new episodes of her daytime talk show despite the ongoing writers and actors strikes, now says she'll wait until the labor issues are resolved. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” Barrymore posted on Instagram on Sunday. Ariel Dumas, head writer and supervising producer for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” reacted on X, formerly Twitter: “This is really great,” she wrote, saying "The Drew Barrymore Show” “decided to do the right thing. That’s because talk shows are covered under a separate contract — the so-called Network Code — from the one actors and writers are striking. The Network Code also covers reality TV, sports, morning news shows, soap operas and game shows.

CNN —Drew Barrymore announced on Sunday that she will pause the premiere of her talk show after receiving backlash over her decision to resume production as more than 11,000 television and film writers remain on strike. Barrymore’s statement comes after a turbulent week for the actress and TV host, who faced criticism from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) after defending her decision to resume production without WGA writers amidst the ongoing dual strikes in Hollywood. In a statement shared on Instagram earlier this month, Barrymore explained her position about bringing her show back. “The Guild has, and will continue to, picket struck shows that are in production during the strike. Other daytime talk shows airing new episodes include “The View,” “Tamron Hall” and “Live with Kelly and Mark.”
