Fans of daytime TV will be glad to learn two popular talk shows are set to return soon. According to recent reports, both “#TheJenniferHudsonShow” and “#Sherri” will drop their second seasons this month amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

In a lengthy post, the entertainer explained that she walked away from hosting the MTV Awards because it directly dealt with concerns posed by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. However, the “Charlie’s Angels” star defended her decision to return to her talk show. In part, she wrote: “I am…making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me. I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind….And so I take a step forward to start season 4 once again with an astute humility.” Barrymore’s decision seemingly drew criticism due to the fact that she will be unable to bring on WGA writers, which she reportedly has done in the past. It seems Jennifer Hudson has this same issue with her show. Reports note that the EGOT holder did in fact employ union writers during season 1 of her hit talk series and will likely face protests, as Barrymore has, due to moving on without them… Full story on #thejasminebrand.com
