How dare they take my Hot Bench (CBS) at 2 pm off for her, though!  Why not The Talk instead?  Then when I surfed to see where Hot Bench is, I find it on another channel at 8 am.  Guess who else is on that channel as well?  Drew Barrymore.  It's not even known if it's a good show yet she's on two channels.

Sounds nice. Maybe it will be sort of like the RIcki Lake show.

I actually saw it.  I thought it was pretty good.  They didn't have an audience obviously.  Guests were in person.  They had a nice wide set and the guests (Carmen Diaz & Lucy Liu who co starred with Drew as Charlies Angels)  sat abut 6 feet or so apart with out masks and chatted.  It's a 30 minute show.  Drew seemed comfortable and occasionally funny.  I saw it because I liked her.  Don't know if I will see it again.  Not going to tape it.  But over all, I liked it.  Ellen show is sharply funny, but I rarely see it.  But you need a host that is comfortable and Drew is.  I think they taped it in the morning and broadcast it in the afternoon.

Re: Drew Barrymore to launch new talk show

@songbird yes it started today, I came across it by accident and it won't happen again- it is another sub par talk show kind of like Tamron Hall's show and a knockoff of Kelly Clarkson's show- guests, and then the typical do good stories like they all have- was not entertaining at all and she did not seem comfortable in the role- she is a good actress but failed at a talk show

I couldn't get past the first five minutes.  Those who watched, is it worth turning on again?

I also watch Hot Bench. Sick of talk shows especially when I remember when they were born.

Agreed.  I can't actually fathom the interest in her or her guests, shrugs.........

I've always liked her but I don't watch many talk shows these days,  but hopefully I can find hers and give it a try.

Re: Drew Barrymore to launch new talk show

I never base opinions off a pilot. So I’ll give it a few days. I love Drew she comes across as a very genuine person.

There was nerves today and a lot of tearing up which I personally found out of place at times.

Hopefully she’ll find a rhythm.
