Daytime talk shows became daytime dramas this week: First Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Hudson, Bill Maher and other hosts announced they would be back on the air without their writers who are currently on strike against major studios. But now, after intense backlash, all of them have called off their season premieres.

Barrymore in particular, became the center of the storm. When the writers strike first started in May, she publicly said she was in support, and even turned down hosting the MTV awards. Then last week, she announced her show would resume. There were protests on social media, even some by her own writers. The National Book Awards rescinded its invitation for her to host its annual ceremony.
