-Come on, bud! Welcome!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
That's how you make an entrance!
That's how you make an entrance right there.
-Thank you, Roots! Gentlemen and old dear friends!
-Hello! -It is so good to see you.
-It is so good to see you, too!
-Thank you for doing the sketch.
-I haven't seen you in so long! -I know!
-Not give minutes ago. -No!
You weren't in a giant bird's nest.
-Not me. -Not you.
That was not you at all. -That was not me.
I was not here. -Thank you for always doing --
-Thank you. -A piece of Gilvin.
-I was gonna say... -Some birds feathers.
-Gilvin! -Gilvin of the Tree.
-Oh, Gilvin! Am I the first female to ever Gilvin?
-Yes, you are. You're always making history.
You're the best. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I feel so honored! -Every time we do a sketch,
you're the first person we think of.
We go, "Well, maybe -- Will Drew do this?"
And we're like, "We can't call her too often."
-We have the most fun. You can call me every day.
-I know, but we don't want to abuse our privilege.
Like, "Drew again." -We're family.
I will always be here.
-Last time we did a sketch together --
Do you remember this? We hooked --
-Shakira. -Yes.
We hooked up a lie detector to Shakira's hips.
-Which was the best idea, and I was like,
"How did no one else think of this?"
I asked Chris Miller. I was like, "Wait. What?"
-Yeah, and it turns out that her hips don't lie.
-No, they -- they don't.
I mean, she said it, and she means it.
-Yeah, was she unbelievable? -She is so cool.
She was so warm and nice and kind.
-You have your daughters, your beautiful daughters.
Frankie and Olive were here. -I brought them
because they're such uber-fans of hers.
And, you know, just --
-They're gorgeous, by the way. I love those kids.
-We live in, you know, a very sort of chill house.
Like, it's not, like, fabulous people rolling through.
So to get to go out and meet Shakira is, like,
not normal and totally amazing. -Yeah. And she was the best.
But then after you left us, I think you were going
to "SNL" rehearsal to go see Ariana Grande.
-Like I said, we never get to see incredible people.
-Yes, yes. I'm sorry. No, no. But besides that day...
seeing two of the biggest superstars in the world...
-It was one of those days where I was like,
"This is so out of bounds of reality."
Like -- And they're --
Ariana Grande is the nicest person ever.
We were like, "We don't want to hold you up."
And she's like, "No. I'd rather hang out and talk."
And were were like... -Yeah, yeah.
-I -- I love her so much. And then she'll DM me.
But I don't know how -- I don't know how to DM.
So then she sent me a voice memo, and then I lost it
because I think that's the point of voice memos.
They don't last. I don't know how to save them.
So if anyone knows how to get in touch with Ariana Grande...
-Yeah, anyone here friends with Ariana?
Yeah, just let her know Drew's trying to get ahold --
-I'm so excited! I can't believe Ar--
Like, I don't -- How do I even --
-Wait till you see her in "Wicked," by the way.
-I saw the trailer, everybody. Oh, my God.
-Yeah, that's right! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Cynthia Erivo. Ariana Grande.
Get ready. It's gonna be unbelievable.
-Even the poster makes me emotional.
Like, they nailed the one sheet.
-The first shot of the hat, the Wicked Witch hat.
And I go, "Oh, this is gonna crush."
-Also, the director of "Crazy Rich Asians" did it,
and I thought that was such an interesting choice
because he's a really interesting visionary.
And I'm glad to see also that it looks of this world,
but not of this world.
But sometimes things are so not of this world
that I'm like, "Where am I?"
-You know, I think it's a lot of practical sets on this.
-I mean, I know it's Oz.
I know it's not supposed to be downtown.
-No. Yeah, yeah. The Oz that we know, yeah.
It's practical. -And sometimes things are
so sort of painted in later that it almost gets cartoony.
-CGI. Yeah. This is not.
-And this felt so grounded, so emotional.
Like, we should be connecting right now.
-Yeah. -And I just thought,
"Okay, get me to the date where 'Wicked' opens."
-Can I talk about you? -Oh, sure.
-Yeah. I want to talk about you.
-I would rather talk about Ariana Grande.
-I know, I know. No. I want to talk about you.
"Drew Barrymore Show."
-See, this is what happens when I get to meet someone.
-No, no, no. -I never stop talking about them.
-Season four. "Drew Barrymore Show."
Congratulations. Just got picked up for season five!
Come on, now! It's official! It's official!
[ Cheers and applause ] Season five, bud!
You're crushing it. Uh, me and my family --
-I'm so relieved. I don't expect anything.
I will never take anything for granted.
-No. -Not a day in my life.
Nothing is a guarantee.
That is sort of life, isn't it? -Yeah.
-And I just appreciate everything
as if it is a true gift and there's no expectations.
And so this is such a relief.
It's so exciting. We're so happy.
-Season five. I watch every day with my family.
We watch every single day. You know who loves you?
Dad Fallon. Jim Fallon Sr. -Who, by the way --
I heard it was Grandparents Day yesterday at school.
-Oh. Trust me. Yeah. -Yes, yes.
-I always wanted to tie a balloon around Grandpa
to find out where he's wandering off to.
It was -- But he was like, "I love Drew.
I love Drew. I watch every -- I DVR her every single episode."
-Ahh. That means so much.
I've now known him, what, almost 20 years?
-Yeah. He loves you. Yeah. He loves you.
-Family! -But -- I know. He loves you.
With four seasons under your belt, what did you learn?
What are you learning now?
What's some of the biggest things that...?
-I've learned so much. -Really?
-I've learned to, I think,
grow up a lot with the show, funny enough.
-Really? -Yeah.
-It's -- We -- -In like a therapy way? No.
Or in like a -- -Yeah!
In like a real-life kind of way.
Like, I --
You know, nothing is -- Nobody knows what it is
you're trying to do until you do it.
So while you're talking about it,
you feel sort of silly because it doesn't exist yet,
but then you're trying to convince people
of what it is that you want to do.
And so the pandemic, um, changed everything so much,
but I think it enabled us to make a show
that's more about human beings,
more about interesting conversations,
a more, like, uh,
diversified portfolio where it's like, you know,
human interest and design and food and life and news
and amazing talk with people of note.
And I just thought, this is the day and age
where we should make a show about everyone, for everyone.
And that was the goal.
-That was the goal? -I know that sounded crazy
in 2019, but it ended up being the show
that we ended up getting to make,
and then it was a really rough start.
It was live.
It was 2020, I was nuts, I felt nuts, everybody felt nuts.
-You did great. -I was by myself.
-You started a show during a pandemic.
-Yes. -Hello. That's really hard.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's the hardest thing you can do.
But we needed you and you were there for us,
and it was awesome, bud.
-I had to. You know, it's so funny.
It's like we all love an alter ego or a mask
or something that we can pretend to be
because it gives us this confidence and courage.
I've never had a problem playing an act-- playing a part.
You want me to be in "Charlie's Angels"?
I'll be your girl. You want me to be a cowgirl?
I'll be that. You want me to be a teacher?
I can do that.
And all of a sudden it was like, be yourself.
-You're like, "What is that?"
-And I didn't know what that was
In a work environment, in a "professional" --
I mean, I know how to be professional, but it just...
It's hard to be yourself. -That's interesting. Yeah.
In front of millions of people.
-It was a really big learning curve.
-Next year I'm going to do it. [ Laughter ]
I'm going to try it next year. -Right?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to try.
Looking forward to it.
-This is my 14th time doing the show with you
since you've become the host of "The Tonight Show."
-Thank you, bud. [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you for showing up.
-What do you think has like --
Because I still talked a lot about the show,
but I do think that it has furthered me as a person,
as one singular human on this planet.
I've truly grown so much in my behavior and my life,
and it's been so complimentary to raising kids
and being a parent and all of that real-life stuff.
What has this taught you in the last -- I mean,
how long have you been doing this?
A long time. -Yeah.
I mean, I get great reservations at restaurants.
-Totally. [ Laughter ]
-You know, I was just thinking,
'cause we just celebrated 10 years of this.
-That's right. Your 10th anniversary.
-I think you just learn
And, like, there's certain stuff,
like we're building a house, basically. Right?
And so you're always changing things,
changing a room and changing another thing,
but always change.
But I think finally now the house is built
and we're living in it now.
And it's like, now here we go.
Now the only thing you can get from experience and age.
[ Applause ]
Kind of.
-And that living in a house also equates
to some form of stability.
And I think when these shows are launching,
they need years to figure themselves out.
Everyone needs runway.
We so quickly lose our chances at things.
And the fact that if you get a privilege to have some time
and grow into that job, things take time to learn.
You know, I got out there and I was like, "Hi."
[ Laughing nervously ]
♪ La, da, da-da-da-da-da ♪
-Try to get through the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-[ Vocalizing ]
-No, I will say though you just --
you just did the thing though, by the way.
You held my hand and then you didn't stop holding it.
And I don't want to take my hand away from you.
And I feel like your guests do that too,
because you'll talk and they'll grab your hand,
and then you end up hugging each other,
and then you go, "No one's letting go."
And it's like you wouldn't want to ever let go if
Drew Barrymore touches your hand.
It's the best thing in the world.
-But you also gave such a profound answer.
And to have that insight into you --
I know you well, and to hear that takes me aback.
And I'm like, "Oh, you did build this house."
And it's -- And you had to build a house on a legacy show.
I mean, I did "The Tonight Show" for the first time in 1982.
That's so crazy, with Johnny Carson.
-Yeah, you were seven? -Seven.
-We actually have a clip of you on "Johnny Carson,"
your first appearance talking to Johnny.
Here's Drew Barrymore making her "Tonight Show" debut.
Take a look at this.
-Can you do -- Just give me a scream.
-Okay. Guys, ready?
[ Laughter ]
-Okay. We're ready.
-[ Screams ]
[ Laughter ] -That's a good scream.
-Yeah.
-Have you always been able to do that?
-I practiced so much at home
that I was able to do it. -Mm-hmm.
-So the other day, I screamed my throat off.
When I got home, I was sweating.
I needed to take a shower badly. I was filthy.
[ Laughter ]
-What are you doing?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Who is that person? They're so charming.
That is so charming, that person.
And look at what a great woman you've become.
That little baby. Come on. -You know what's so wild?
And when I look at that, my legs don't touch the ground.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. You're a baby.
-Like, we all are growing up together.
I'm 49 years old, and I'm like...
I'm just growing up with everyone.
-Oh. You're phenomenal. We're so lucky.
-And my legs touch the ground now.
-Yes, exactly. See? See what happens now?
I have something -- I want to talk to you --6
You're a partner now with Ring. -I'm very proud of this.
-Yeah, I think it's a perfect match.
-Well, there are --
Thank you. -Yeah.
-So, I love pets, and if you -- I already loved animals.
And I was actually an ASPCA award winner
for adoption and fostering.
-Hey! No big deal.
-Like, I'm very proud of that one.
-How many pets do you have?
Because I met a lot of them, if not all of them.
-I think I'm up to nine. -Ooh!
-Four cats. -Yep.
-Single. Four cats. Two -- Oh, no, one dog.
Lucy passed away -- I know -- a couple weeks ago.
I'm still not used to it. I know, I know.
That's what happened. -But Douglas.
-Douglas, who is a rescue, who's 14 and thriving.
-Yep.
-And then I have a fish, Bluey, named after, yes, the show.
And then I have Jeremy, the bearded dragon.
-I know Jeremy. Jeremy lived on my shoulder for a little bit.
-Jeremy is Cameron Diaz, too.
-Yes. Cameron is the voice of Jeremy.
Yeah. And your dog, Gary. -And you were Gary.
-I'm Gary. -Yeah. But it scared me.
And then you took her nicely off my shoulder.
-This giant bearded dragon, who I'm so in love with.
And Lucky and Jeremy -- one of the cats --
-Oh, I have a picture of Lucky and Jeremy.
The cat really gets along with the dragon.
Look at this. -Yeah. I know!
If you want to know what my house is like, that's it.
It's like -- And then my daughter -- she didn't tell me,
but she went and decided to put her name in the raffle
at school to win the snake.
And she won! -Congratulations?
I was like, "Aah!" -Yeah, you're like --
-So now I'm the proud owner of a snake.
Would you like to know the snake's name?
-Yes.
-C-C-C-Cecil.
-Oh, Cecil. Cecil the snake. Are you kidding me?
Wow! So, explain --
-So, I have a lot of pets and I was approached by Ring,
and I thought, "Oh, you know what's so interesting?"
Like, I was wrapped up in monitors raising
the two girls for years.
You know, you just -- And I wanted the corded ones,
because I just felt like you -- -'Cause you hear a noise
and then you look, and there's some frightening
thing in the crib with, like, crazy devil eyes.
And you go, "Oh, good. The baby's all right.
Okay, great."
-She's not sleeping, but she's okay.
-Exactly. Yeah. -So I was like, "Wait.
You know, I loved having the baby monitors,
and they stay longer after babies.
They go into toddlers. You have these monitors.
And then I'm like, people have doorbell monitors
for, like, surveillance, security, safety.
And I was like, "Wait. This makes sense."
Like, you could film your pets and make your own pet memes
and you could check in on your pets if you want.
It was like, oh, my God, peanut butter and chocolate.
Yes! This makes sense.
But, also, they're doing this really cool campaign
where if you send in a photo of your pet,
it will be eligible to be picked as one
of the pet portraits representing Ring.
And then that money, all of it goes to the ASPCA.
-Yeah, that's right. You hashtag "RingPets."
So post a photo on Instagram or TikTok
and just hashtag "RingPets."
-Yes. And your pet portrait --
Ring pet portraits -- you submit it,
and maybe your loved one can be an ambassador
for the Ring camera, and all the money goes to the SPCA.
-Yeah, they're going to give $10, yeah, up to $100,000,
which is good -- up to 100,000.
-Yeah. It probably should be more, too.
-I'm not -- Yeah, we're gonna. Yeah.
I don't know which one I'm going to post.
This is Gary. -Oh, Gary!
-That's my dog, Gary, with -- How old is Gary now?
Gary's got to be 14. -I think she's 13 now.
Yeah. She lies about her age.
-A lot of women do.
-Here's me and Gary hanging out...
-Oh, Gary! -...on Saint Patty's day.
Yeah, I got the paw there. Maybe I'll post that one.
I just love that she just sleeps with the ball
in her mouth. It's, like, the best.
-Yeah, well, we all love to pacify.
That doesn't change. -Yeah, yeah.
Oh, here it is.
Before we go, you have a fun surprise for our audience.
-I do, actually.
So, everyone in the audience is going to go home
with these cameras so that you can take your --
-Come on, guys. [ Cheers and applause ]
That's how you do it.
That's how you do it right there. Come on!
The one-and-only Drew Barrymore, everyone.
We'll be right back with Peso Pluma! Come on!
