"The Drew Barrymore Show" Is Being Called The "Anti-Ellen" Talk Show After This Clip Of A Sobbing Fan Went Viral
Drew Barrymore is truly god's gift to us. Her talent is unmatched, her personality is genuine, and she is just an all-around good human.
Drew currently hosts her own talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, where she interviews fellow celebs, shares human interest stories and uplifting news, and more. And recently, during one of her show's tapings, she noticed a fan was crying. The BTS moment was shared on the show's TikTok where it has well over 21 million views:

Let's go over the clip and then discuss the comments. It begins with an alarmed Drew stopping to ask if an audience member is okay after hearing them crying.
A visibly worried Drew sifts through audience members to check in on her sobbing fan. "Did anything happen? Whose ass do I have to kick?" Drew asks as she walks toward her.
Drew then learns a woman is crying because she "loves her so much."
Relieved, Drew exclaims, "OH! Thank god it is nothing bad!"
Drew then shares how she was ready to defend her fan. "Did you see me coming over? I was like, 'TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE! Because I will take them down. WHO MADE YOU CRY?'"
An IRL mad Drew Barrymore is something I never want to see!
Through tears, the woman — named Olivia — shares that Drew is her childhood idol and she "doesn't want to be that person to cry." Drew, however, reassures her that she wants Olivia to be that person.
The two embrace in a long hug...
...And then to further show her love, appreciation, and affection, Drew climbs onto Olivia's lap.
Embracing each other, and, in true iconic Drew form, she apologizes for having "dumpling breath" before ending with, "It's so funny you would say you don't want to cry here. I cry here all the time."
The clip has over 24,000 comments, most of which are people just daydreaming of Drew sitting in their lap. However, one commenter got a lot of attention for their take on how different Drew is as a talk show host than Ellen was.
![This commenter said, "Drew is the uplevel from Ellen we never knew we needed. We must protect her and that pure heart at all costs [face emoji surrounded by hearts]](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/NuL9JgWqnxNt6MvS8Oq0Yg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTMxNg--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/buzzfeed_articles_778/143483c988278b066bd4f0a8c0ef90e2)
Ellen has been under fire for years for her toxic workplace environment and for just having many problematic moments on her show in general.
So, it feels refreshing for people to watch a very down-to-earth and unproblematic talk show host.
Someone who handles guests and audience members in a completely different way.
And it should also be noted that people love Kelly Clarkson — who hosts The Kelly Clarkson Show — just as much as they love Drew. AMEN TO THAT!
