As part of its week-long activation for the 2024 Super Bowl, Paramount Global took Drew Barrymore, Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition to Las Vegas to shoot shows and segments on the ground before, during and after the big game. All three CBS Media Ventures-produced shows set up shop in front of the Bellagio fountains to talk football, parties, celebrity, and of course, the Taylor Swift of it all.
After having to postpone its premiere due to the writers’ strike, CBS Media Ventures’ The Drew Barrymore Show will debut its fourth season on Monday, Oct. 16, the show posted on Instagram today.
As Drew Barrymore digs herself into a deeper hole regarding the return of her daytime talk show, lost in the debate is a conversation about the peculiar nature of syndicated TV.
“I won’t polish this with bells and whistles and publicists and corporate rhetoric. I’ll just stand out there and accept and be responsible,” the “Drew Barrymore Show” host says.
“The National Book Awards is an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of literature, and the incomparable contributions of writers to our culture,” the National Book Foundation, which presents the award, said in a statement Tuesday. “In light of the announcement that The Drew Barrymore Show will resume production, the National Book Foundation has rescinded Ms. Barrymore’s invitation to host the 74th National Book Awards Ceremony.”
On Monday, two audience members were removed from a taping of the CBS show as the WGA strike continues.
Drew Barrymore is stepping down as host of this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards, in a show of support and solidarity to the striking Writers Guild members. But as a sign of good faith to MTV, Barrymore has also agreed to return and host next year’s edition of the kudocast instead.
You know when Drew Barrymore sits crossed-legged, things are about to get serious. Videos keep going viral of Barrymore sitting with her guests, and talking about the most intense issues a person could talk about. That is not, for the record, how daytime TV works. The hosts don’t usually sit criss-cross-apple-sauce and stare deeply into your soul. Interviews conducted by Barrymore keep being shared because of how aggressively they don’t subscribe to that usual model.
