Looks like Drew Barrymore is going to have to follow through on her misguided attempt to return to the air without writers. Despite the strike being over, the talk show host’s near scabbing left an indelible mark, and the three co-head writers of The Drew Barrymore Show have declined to return. Although no formal reason has been provided for their (in?)actions, it’s hard to blame them for not wanting to return to a place where they were undervalued and undermined. The show now has two weeks to hire new writers, as it’s still currently set to return on October 16th. 

Meanwhile, there’s been a windfall of Saturday Night Live news. The sketch comedy show is set to return for its 49th season on October 14th with musical guest Ice Spice and host Pete Davidson, the SNL alum who left the show in 2022. The following week, Bad Bunny is slated to take on double duty as host and musical guest. The show will also welcome New Jersey native Chloe Troast as the latest addition to the cast. After missing a bevy of hot topics thanks to their regularly scheduled summer hiatus and the writers’ strike, it’ll be interesting to see what subject the first cold open of the season tackles.

Over on Twitter, there’s been no brakes and everyone’s had their finger on the pulse in hilarious fashion. Today’s funny tweets include those about a grocery shopping hack, a FEMA alert from Forks, Washington and a question for Brian Griffin’s partners.
