When Drew Barrymore started on the path to becoming a daytime talk-show host, her industry pals were quick to warn her that the daily grind of hosting a syndicated talker is one of the most demanding jobs in showbiz.
That was more than a year ago. The work has only gotten more complicated since then.
“It’s a giant undertaking,” Barrymore tells Variety while on a break from shooting content for the CBS-distributed “The Drew Barrymore Show,” which debuts Sept. 14, from CBS Broadcast Center in New York. “Everyone kept telling me that if you want to get it right, you have to apply yourself to everything all the time. And I do care about the details.”
For Barrymore, 45, the details have included figuring out entirely new ways to do a talk show in the era of Zoom, which has led the show to embrace technological solutions for assembling virtual studio audiences.
