NextImg:Drew Barrymore Almost Pitched an Interior Design Show — Until ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ Came Along

The Drew Barrymore Show

Those who keep up with The Drew Barrymore Show know how much Drew Barrymore loves a good interior makeover — ahem, “Designed By Drew” is even an occasional segment that features the beloved host renovating the homes of lucky fans. Therefore, it may not come as a shock that she was considering her own interior design show prior to landing the Emmy-nominated series.

In a recent interview with Better Homes & Gardens, Barrymore, who rose to fame as a child actress, revealed that she once thought of making a major career shift.

“There was a long period of time when I thought I could go into interior design and that would make me happy,” she told the outlet. “I could do all my thrifting and shopping; I could make things unique—I won’t ever be cookie-cutter.”

Barrymore continued, “I thought I could even do a show around it. And that’s where I was headed when this woman called and was like, ‘Would you ever consider doing a talk show?'”

The Drew Barrymore Show, which premiered in 2020, wrapped up its third season in May — and is set to come back in September for Season 4.

Barrymore has gone viral on social media for her unique and intimate interview style, which often finds her holding hands with her guests, scooting her chair closer, and even having heart-to-hearts on the floor. In fact, the show’s viewership has risen by 70% during its most recent season.

When it comes to straying from the norm as far as talk shows go, Barrymore explained that her goal was to foster a space that makes everybody — guests and audience members, alike — “feel invited.”

She continued, “I didn’t want this, like, bizarre interview dynamic that I’ve been on the other side of my whole life, where you’re just expected to tell anecdotal stories.”

Barrymore might have her hands tied with The Drew Barrymore Show and being a mom-of-two, but, here’s hoping that someday she lands another gig on HGTV.
