THE Drew Barrymore Show’s season premiere week ratings TANKED.
It looks like even featuring A-list guests such as the host’s BFFs Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz hasn’t been enough to improve viewership.
According to TV News Check, the 46-year-old’s talk show has improved ratings compared to last season but is still struggling to bring in fans.
Despite increasing 25% in ratings from last season with a 0.5, The Drew Barrymore Show is still receiving much lower viewers than its competitors.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show’s season 19 premiere shot up 25% for the week and 43% over the past two sessions, which ended in a 14-week high with a 1.0 rating.
Ellen’s show earned an impressive 25% improvement over last season, which was flocked with controversy.
Meanwhile, The Kelly Clarkson Show climbed 13% to a 0.9 rating with its Season 3 premiere.
The episode marked the daytime talk show’s biggest rating since May 24 and outperformed last year’s score by 13%.
According to the outlet, The Dr. Phil Show remains the daytime talk show with the highest ratings.
Meanwhile, Drew’s show is in the 11th spot in the genre.
Drew’s talk show returned for its second season on September 13.
JENNIFER’S APPEARANCE
During the season premiere episode, the host was visited by her friend Jennifer, 52.
The stars discussed how Jennifer “manifested” her iconic role of Rachel Green on the hit sitcom Friends, while she also gushed about her friendship with Adam Sandler.
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight about Jennifer’s appearance on the show, Drew said: “We’re gonna launch with none other than someone who might be one of my favorite people on planet earth, Jennifer Aniston.
“I’m so excited, because that is a movie star, an entertainer, a woman, a human, someone that we just all marvel at. She has longevity. I love this woman so much. I can not believe I’m gonna get to do this with her.”
BESTIE TIME
Meanwhile, Drew’s best friend Cameron, 49, also visited the show during the first week of season 2.
Ahead of Cameron’s appearance, Drew told ET how excited she was for her Charlie’s Angels costar to visit the show.
The host said at the time: “My bestie is coming back. We’re gonna do a Besties Hour, which is gonna be so exciting.
” She happens to be my bestie. She’s probably my only famous bestie.”
Drew continued: “We became friends when we were 14 and 16, so it wasn’t Charlie’s Angels.
“I worked in a coffee house, I was the barista. I sucked at my job and my boss hated me … she came in and she was a junior model and I just fell in love with her because she was so pretty but so goofy and cool.”
