Talk shows are covered under a separate contract from the one actors and writers are striking but that isn't shielding them from protests.
LOS ANGELES --"The Drew Barrymore Show" will begin airing fresh episodes on Monday but a lot of off-air controversy will be clinging to its typically bubbly host.
As long as the hosts and guests don't discuss or promote work covered by television, theatrical or streaming contracts, they're not technically breaking the strike. 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.
"It's kind of amazing that they're going to go back to work with their own writers picketing outside the doors of the studios," said Dohrn, a writers guild member."They're literally walking past the picket line of the workers who they say they're supporting." Barrymore's stance was also met with some puzzlement since she walked away as host of the MTV Movie & TV Awards in May, the first big awards show to air during the strike. Back then, she wrote:"I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike."
