ARTICLE: Drew Barrymore Talks Season 6 Renewal of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show,’ Practicing Physical Distance Around Guests

As previously reported, “The Drew Barrymore Show” has been renewed for a sixth season ahead of the show’s Season 5 premiere. 

In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” host Drew Barrymore spoke on securing two seasons and how she had to practice physical distance in the early era of the daytime talk show.

“I can’t believe it. I’m so excited because I just want to stress how rare this is and how much you know if you’re lucky enough to be on a show it needs runway. It needs time and a lot don’t get there, and we were not likely to get there, and I always think that when good things happen you should talk about you know that it, it wasn’t just easy, it wasn’t just handed,” commented Barrymore, who spoke with correspondent Denny Directo while on the set of game show “Hollywood Squares,” which will feature her as the center square. “We had a lot of years of uncertainty and so this feels all the more delicious because of that.”

“Um, well I’ll try to practice physical distance which is not my strong point…,” notes Barrymore when asked about keeping away from her guests. “It’s not everyone’s favorite but I’m sorry to those people. I think that first of all we’re always gonna be big on joy and laughter and feeling good, and that was something I always wanted to do, but I never thought we would launch in a pandemic and trying to lean into the joy and the feel good and the comedy at that time was real weird and wacky.”

Season 5 of “The Drew Barrymore Show” premieres Monday, September 9. Check local listings for time and station, or visit thedrewbarrymoreshow.com for more information.
