Barrymore sets high standard in her models as talk show host
NEW YORK โ Drew Barrymore is setting a high standard for herself as she joins the world of daytime talk show hosts on Monday. โWeโre all human beings on this planet going through our lives and our journeys and thereโs a way to connect through that,โ Barrymore said. Iโve never lived in that space.โโThe Drew Barrymore Show,โ retrofitted for the coronavirus era, is being distributed by CBS Television. Bill Carroll, a veteran television consultant and expert in the syndication market, said heโs impressed that Barrymore is shooting high. Yes, some may regard Barrymore as slightly loopy and hippie-dippie (โweโre all human beings on this planetโ), but itโs more endearing than annoying.
DeGeneres vows candor as clouded talk show charts its return
LOS ANGELES Ellen DeGeneres says she'll be ready to talk when her daytime show returns this month after a staff shake-up prompted by allegations of a toxic workplace.

Tiffany Haddish will join DeGeneres for the kick-off episode, with The Ellen DeGeneres Show to be taped at Warner Bros. minus an in-studio audience, which is commonplace during the pandemic.

Uncut Gems is finally on Netflix -- and you have to watch it
When the trailer for Uncut Gems came out in fall 2019, many people (including this writer) were skeptical of the movie. And then the movie finally hit theaters, and all the skepticism of Sandlers ability to play a serious role was quickly wiped away. He owes a lot of people a lot of money, and we get to watch Ratner make deal after deal, just waiting for it all to implode. Were used to seeing him play bumbling buffoons who barely have their lives together, but after youve watched Uncut Gems, you realize that Ratner isnt that much different from Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. We can only hope Sandler got a boost of acting confidence with this role in Uncut Gems. Not that any of his latest project are that bad, but do we really need another Grown-Ups movie?
