Drew Barrymore hosts The Drew Barrymore Show, the very first syndicated American talk show. CBS Media Ventures will distribute the show, which will premiere on September 14, 2020. The show was revived for a second season in March 2021, with Ross Mathews added as a co-host.
Human-interest stories, celebrity appearances, lifestyle segments, and field pieces are all featured on the show.
“The Drew Barrymore Show” will air again next fall, although not in its current format.
The Golden Globe Award-winning actor and lifestyle entrepreneur’s eponymous midday chatfest has been renewed for a third season.
The 47-year-old actress debuted her self-titled daytime chat show in 2020, and while she is “honoured and delighted” that it will be renewed for the 2022-23 season, she hopes to “take the show further” this time around.
On Friday, Barrymore, who also serves as an executive producer on the programme, posted a video on Instagram showing herself shouting with joy at the news of the renewal.
“I am honoured and grateful, but I also want to raise the bar for this show and continuously innovate and disrupt the midday area. I want to challenge myself by rising to the task of locating people in the various ways they watch.
Our show aspires to be a bright point, not a dark spot, and all we want to do is make people happy. And I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone who assisted us in getting here.”
The show will now be developed and distributed by CMV in a structure that allows it to be presented as two half-hour segments that stations can air back-to-back or split up to air separately, with the first 30-minute piece after local newscasts on all CBS stations.
Local newscasts will lead into the opening half-hour of the newly restructured show on some stations owned by media conglomerate ViacomCBS.
“Stations have always had a restricted amount of shelf space,” CBS Media Ventures president Steve LoCascio stated, “so we’re altering the syndication model to match the needs of our partners.”
“Through this revolutionary new initiative, we couldn’t be happier to extend our connection with CBS Stations and our other station partners to provide more of The Drew Barrymore Show.”
Drew is a force of energy who has introduced a fresh hopeful approach to daytime television, from his distinctive take on regular news to headline-generating celebrity interviews to lifestyle how-tos. We’re thrilled to have her as a member of the CBS family.”
“The Drew Barrymore Show,” which premiered on WCBS in New York on September 14, 2020, is currently airing at 9 a.m.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the hour-long chat programme had an average daily audience of approximately 740,000 people, which pales in comparison to the leading daytime talk shows “Live with Kelly and Ryan” and “Dr Phil,” which each have 2.3 million to 2.5 million viewers.
