It’s “The Talk” of the town.
Daytime talk show “The Talk” has reversed its decision to premiere its 14th season on Monday because the Writers Guild of America strike continues.
A spokesperson for CBS told The Post on Sunday that “’The Talk’ is pausing its season premiere” and “will proceed to guage plans for a latest launch date.”
The Post reached out to the WGA for comment.
“The Talk,” which is hosted by Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, went dark in May as Hollywood writers began striking over higher wages and more residuals.
Sunday’s announcement, which followed protests outside tapings of “The Talk,” comes mere hours after Drew Barrymore revealed she can even postpone the return of her own talk show until the strike ends.
Barrymore, 48, took to Instagram in the future before the scheduled premiere of the show’s fourth season to share the news.
“I even have listened to everyone, and I’m making the choice to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” wrote Barrymore.
“I don’t have any words to precise my deepest apologies to anyone I even have hurt and, in fact, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it’s today. We actually tried to search out our way forward.”
The “50 First Dates” actress added that she truly hopes “for a resolution for the complete industry very soon.”
Barrymore released the statement after per week of online backlash, protests outside the CBS Broadcast Center in Midtown, and the retraction of her invitation to host the upcoming National Book Awards ceremony.
“We support Drew’s decision to pause the show’s return and understand how complex and difficult this process has been for her,” a spokesperson for CBS Media Ventures, which produces and distributes “The Drew Barrymore Show,” told The Post on Sunday.
The “Blended” actress took to Instagram per week ago to announce that Season 4 would premiere Sept. 18.
“I’m … making the selection to come back back for the primary time on this strike for our show, which will have my name on it but this is greater than simply me,” she wrote on Sept. 10. “I own this selection.”
Her message continued, “We’re in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and tv that’s struck of any kind. We launched live in a worldwide pandemic. Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the true world goes through in real time.”
A CBS Media Ventures spokesperson told The Post on the time that, “The Drew Barrymore Show is not going to be performing any writing work covered by the WGA strike.”
Last week, the “Charlie’s Angels” star defended her controversial decision to tape her show — which debuted in September 2020 at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I definitely couldn’t have expected this sort of attention,” Barrymore said in a now-deleted Instagram video. “We aren’t gonna break rules, and we will likely be in compliance. I wanted to do that because as I said, this is greater than me, and there are other people’s jobs on the road.”
She vehemently denied that a “PR machine” was behind the choice.
“I don’t exactly know what to say because sometimes when things are so tough, it’s hard to make decisions from that place. So all I can say is that I wanted to simply accept responsibility, and no, I don’t have a PR machine behind this. My decision to return to the show — I didn’t need to hide behind people,” continued Barrymore.
“I won’t polish this with bells and whistles and publicists and company rhetoric. I’ll just stand on the market and accept and be responsible.”
Meanwhile, shows including “The View,” “Tamron Hall,” and “Live with Kelly and Mark” have debuted latest seasons.
Bill Maher’s “Real Time” is predicted to return this week as well.
