Drew Barrymore Wins Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host Emmy

Drew Barrymore has won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host for her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, at the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards! This is Barrymore’s first Daytime Emmy win overall and her first in this category.

To win this award, Barrymore had to defeat some stiff competition. In the category, she beat out colleagues Kelly Clarkson (The Kelly Clarkson Show), Jennifer Hudson (The Jennifer Hudson Show), Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb (Today with Hoda & Jenna), and spouses Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos (Live! with Kelly & Mark) to take home the award.

Both Barrymore and her self-titled chatfest have received Daytime Emmy nominations in the past. Barrymore has received two prior nominations for her role as host of The Drew Barrymore Show. These particular nominations came in 2021 and 2022, respectively. In both of those years, Clarkson took home the award in that category. 

This isn’t the Charlie’s Angels star’s first rodeo, however. In fact, she was first nominated at this awards show nearly 40 years ago! Before her talk show was ever launched, Barrymore, then a child actress, received a nod at the 1986 Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Performer in Children’s Programming; she was up for her work in The Adventures of Con Sawyer and Hucklemary Finn.

Currently on its sixth season, The Drew Barrymore Show launched in 2020. It brought home several other awards at this year’s Daytime Emmys, including honors for Outstanding Hairstyling and Makeup, as well as Outstanding Directing Team for a Multiple Camera Daytime Non-Fiction Program.
