Drew Barrymore has announced that she will attempt to maintain a 'physical distance' from her guests when 'The Drew Barrymore Show' returns for its fifth season, acknowledging that her touchy-feely interview style has drawn viewer complaints. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she expressed that being alone during the pandemic made her crave human connection, leading to her close interactions with guests. While some viewers have criticized her approach, others, including Oprah Winfrey, have described it as endearing. Barrymore admitted that keeping her hands to herself is challenging for her but is committed to trying, stating, 'It's not everyone's favorite, but I'm sorry to those people.' The show, which launched in September 2020, has been renewed for a sixth season, indicating its ongoing popularity despite the concerns raised over her interview technique.
