The Drew Barrymore show has become a new favorite in daytime talk shows since it first premiered. The 50 First Dates actress has successfully moved from Hollywood star in films like Charlie's Angels alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz to someone who can easily hold court with celebrity guests just the same as giants like Oprah Winfrey and Jimmy Fallon in late shows such as SNL.
The former child star has had all sorts of recipes on her daytime show on CBS alongside the human-interest stories and interviews the talk show host has become so good at. The TV show format lends itself well to having some recipes featured, which wouldn't work as well on a late-night show like the one David Letterman used to host, or something like Saturday Night Live. During the pandemic, Drew's News has lived comfortably next to recipe segments featuring guests or even recipes inspired by TikTok.
While you can't catch her show on Netflix, CBS Media Ventures distributes the program to local stations, meaning it's pretty easy to catch an episode, even outside of New York City or Los Angeles. Now that a second season has been ordered, we wanted to take a look back at some of our favorite recipes from The Drew Barrymore Show, and not just reflect on celebrity guests like Demi Lovato, former co-star Adam Sandler, Sara Gilbert, and so many more. Let's take a look.
