The Drew Barrymore Show

She is so awkward as a talk show host that I actually feel awkward and uncomfortable watching her. Its not funny or entertaining. As much as I love Drew and her movies / TV shows, being a talk show host is not for her. Sadly this show won't last. Its almost as awkward as Busy Phillips talk show.

Geez, and I thought Kelly Clarkson's show was bad...

The super-annoying commercials aired prior to the show's debut were a dead giveaway as to just how godawful this was going to be. I've tried to watch it a few times, but can barely stand five minutes of it. It's bad enough Drew loves talking about herself incessantly (which is NOT a good trait for a talk show host), but on top of that for some reason her guests feel inclined to ooze praise for her during the interviews (if you can call them that). Then douse it all with "women empowerment" and a "HEY, LOOK AT ME!" mentality and what you end up with is another sixty minutes of mindless daytime TV crap.

It's basically the 2020 version of The Sammy Maudlin Show (if you're not familiar with it, look it up...let's just say it's not a compliment).

I catch the show from time to time, however, it gets painful to watch as she touches, hugs, kisses, and crawls on her guests laps. It's so painful and uncomfortable not only to watch, but it's plain to see the discomfort the guests experience. Not sure what the issue is with her, as I've seen Drew on her knees in front of guests. It's not pleasant to watch. Sorry, bc I like Drew, but cringe during her guest interviews. At that point I have to change the channel. Surprised that they are renewing another season. In any event I wish her well. Maybe some like to watch that kind of behavior, but certainly not me, or my family.

Drew's team hired a bunch of hacks/staffers to rave about her manic energy. The show stinks, has no good/new ideas and all filler, even going so far as to discuss astrology as if it were still 1964. Drew jumps around the set like a rabid animal (one time she literally howled at the moon!) and she uses crazy gyrations and insane movements as a means for non-existent excitement and entertainment. She has gone insane, methinks. And all the rave reviews you read here are by Drew herself or some other phony baloney. They are all one paragraph, run-on sentences with no punctuation and poor sentence structure, as if written by a young ignorant child. Read the first week's worth of "reviews" here and see how desperate the show must be to cheat and mislead the would-be viewer. Bah.

Drew is not meant to be a talk show host. She needs to stick to movies and stop this nonsense on her so called show. I feel sorry for her. She's trying so hard but it's not going to happen. I can't even watch 10 minutes of the show without grimacing. Ouch.
