The Most Bizarre (And Fun) ‘Drew Barrymore Show’ Moments of 2022

While speaking about the internet’s latest obsession — Puffy, a human-sized teddy bear meant to act as a “cuddle companion” for singles — Drew and Savannah Guthrie became embroiled in a tug-of-war that could only be compared to the likes of WWE SmackDown! 

Aside from that, the strange topic provoked an even stronger response from Drew, who, while straddling the stuffed animal, yelled at it to do “half the chores.” Truly, an unforgettable segment.

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing like a solid Drew’s News segment where Drew leaves fellow co-host Ross Mathews at an utter loss for words. In this particular September episode, Mathews gushes over the “gorgeous” teenage years the actress spent on red carpets. However, she was quick to remind him that she “was in mental institutions, too.”

This was just another example of Drew reminding us that if you can’t joke about your childhood trauma, then what can you joke about?

There are four words to describe why this is on the list: People’s Sexiest Man Alive, duh. Not only is George Clooney still smokin’ hot at 61 years old, but his banter is nothing short of entertaining in any situation he’s in. I mean, look! Drew laid down on the floor for an improv therapy session with him acting as her doctor. It doesn’t get much better than that.

While the cooking segments on The Drew Barrymore Show could receive a category of their own, one of my all-time favorites was when Drew flubbed some simple measuring instructions with Camila Cabello, prompting the show’s producer to call her out via earpiece in the middle of the episode. And as someone who has had her fair share of cooking blunders, I’d like to thank Drew Barrymore for the representation us folk desperately need.

In one of the many times Drew gave us a little too much information, perhaps the best was when she revealed her love of comfort over style. During one particular Drew’s News segment, the actress revealed that she wears “granny panties” and prefers “large underwear,” which, honestly, can we blame her?

From interviews with Lea Michele to Regina Hall, Drew’s efforts to make a more intimate setting have not gone unnoticed. While the occasional floor-interview style may have confused us at first, it has quickly become one of our favorite quirks about The Drew Barrymore Show.

As a lifelong Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movie enthusiast, of course this little reunion made it onto the list! Not only did we learn some tea about rom-com classics like The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, where the duo revealed that Drew’s reactions to the ballads Sandler’s characters sang in both movies were completely real as she had never heard them before filming, but we also got some more real-life content highlighting their undeniable chemistry.

During a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress was fully hit on by Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount, who casually dropped that he was living his childhood fantasy just by sitting across from the Charlie’s Angels actress. The admission came as such a shock to a blushing Drew, she couldn’t help but recoil in her seat as she struggled to finish the interview. And honestly, same girl, same.

Cuteness alert! As a lover of both dogs and Dolly Parton, it’s no surprise that the combination of the two made it to the top of the list. In this bonkers episode featuring Susan Sarandon, Drew brought out her adorable pups, who were dressed in Parton’s clothing line — as the singer herself, wigs included.

We love to see a happy ending — which is why the No. 1 item on this list is Drew finally finding a man who treats her right! In a recent episode, the talk show host, who has been outspoken about her lackluster sex life, revealed that she’s currently dating someone who sends her postcards and makes plans and does all the things a lady could ask for. Good for you, Drew. Let’s manifest good men for all in 2023.
