Barrymore sets high standard in her models as talk show host
NEW YORK โ Drew Barrymore is setting a high standard for herself as she joins the world of daytime talk show hosts on Monday. โWeโre all human beings on this planet going through our lives and our journeys and thereโs a way to connect through that,โ Barrymore said. Iโve never lived in that space.โโThe Drew Barrymore Show,โ retrofitted for the coronavirus era, is being distributed by CBS Television. Bill Carroll, a veteran television consultant and expert in the syndication market, said heโs impressed that Barrymore is shooting high. Yes, some may regard Barrymore as slightly loopy and hippie-dippie (โweโre all human beings on this planetโ), but itโs more endearing than annoying.
