Has a start up talk show ever had this many mega stars appear on the show within the first month? This has to be a record lol

when women empower women like this the world would be winning at life

What an important conversation. As someone who grew up in an abusive household, it really does make a mark on you. BUT, you have the choice to allow it to define you or to inform change in making something positive out of it so that chain doesn't continue. Drew and Charlize exemplify the power of change for good. Love this.

I think Drew has come full-circle. She’s an amazing woman, mother and actress who doesn’t make excuses for all the bullshit that might have come into her life, or maybe things she’s created for herself. Charlize is a beacon of hope for everyone...depth, and soul was on-point! She’s a pretty amazing lady. Both are, and Drew’s guests have been stellar. Congrats Drew!!!!!

Seriously love how you celebrate your guests. In a real human way.

I can so relate to the pain of growing up with a toxic, alcoholic parent. It's a real task to learn to love ourselves but also to love others because we were so let down.... I did walk on eggshells, every day, from my earliest years, living in fear. I remember being sure I would stop the chain of abuse and safeguard my children with love and acceptance. I am not a perfect mom but "a good enough mom" and my kiddos are definitely not afraid of me....they know I am there for them, Always- no matter what 💜

As a South African I love how candidly Charlize speaks about recognising her privilege during Apartheid.

I love seeing women supporting and inspiring each other likes that. Charlize is amazing.

every interview Drew does makes me teary - she's so genuine and kind

Sometimes, we forget to realize that when the layers of celebrity get peeled back, these are just two women having a candid conversation about the crap they went through in their younger years and how SO many relate to them. Two RAD, RAD, RAD chicks! Drew and OPTIMISM TV CRUSHING IT!!!

It's nice to see that when refers to South Africa, she says "we", because it's her country.

I had toxic parents growing up. It’s hard. So very hard. I’m too afraid to have my own children bc im afraid I will be like them and ruin my kid.

I wish I could meet Charlize I am such a supporter of her work in the world

That was delightful. I want women like that around me, as well.

Drew u and Charlize should do a movie together.

To have two beautiful and strong women come together and relate to each other on the circumstances they went through is inspiring. Lifting one another up and commending the other about how they’ve dealt with these traumatic experiences. This conversation is like a dream come true and just really shows the essence of WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN!! I love both of these bad ass “rad” women 🤙🏽❤️

So sad to hear about the domestic violence. Glad Charlize has Together for Her

drew is literally america's bff - i love how she approaches this conversations with gravity and light!

I was hoping there was more to the interview, glad to see there is!

can we just clap hands for Drew. this interview was spectacular!

I feel like she’s used her beauty card to gain access to male dominated areas of our society, to slip by the radar, and open the doors for the rest of us; she’s really Capitalized on her beauty to make the world a better place for women, we appreciate it! We appreciate you!

Charlize doesn't age! she looks 20 years younger

Awesome! Incredible interview. A lot of intelligent things said, but still very heartfelt and a lot of positive energy between the two ladies.

Drew, you need to let your guests finish what they are saying! Please. I love you, but she was in her thoughts and you cut her off at a part where she was opening up. Just a word of advice. You interview, they answer, you listen and then you start again. Just a thought. Love you.

I love being surrounded by women who love and support one another.

❤️ God, Charlize look is so adorable, elegant and stunning! pure-nature beauty. 👸🏼💞 I adore her very-very much. 😙💘🥰💫 I'm drowning in her awesome eyes. Perfect woman, divine beauty. 💖💖💋

I love Drew Barrymore. She is a such a sweetheart and has been through so much. I love how both she and Charlize bonded over their difficult childhoods and the similarities. Talking about this personal stuff is important and makes us feel like we are not so alone in our own struggles.

So far this show is Drew’s Hollywood friends coming on and them telling each other how fabulous they are.

I had tough childhood too x God bless Chalize and Drew xx

I am SO thankful this 'Recommended for you' popped up; I clicked on it so dang fast! I had NO idea about this show and I just love all the snippets that I have seen thus far. Way to go Drew!!!! Please keep 'em coming, Lady!

First of all I love Charlize and everything she did and is doing, as an South African I am extremely proud, BUT I hate it when South Africa is always portrayed in a negative way. AA started its first meeting in South Africa on 18 Oct 1946, Politics aside we are a beautiful country with wonderful people of all races

I love her show! The guest stars are so relaxed and opened to Drew and it seems genuine too. Hope this continues on because I like it.

Drew is so gorgeous and such a beautiful person all around. Like a fine wine she gets better every year in every way...

I love honestly to see that there is love and compassion for others Drew thank you for being the happy in life and letting others know we are not full of hate !!!! We all have a story in life and that we can rise above our past !!! Keep being you because this world needs to see more of people coming together stay strong Drew

Hey Drew, I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your new talk show. Your conversation with CharIize Theron was so great to watch. Anywho, I could go through the "I loved you in.... " and "51st dates is one of my favourite movies"(it actually is) but it is you as a talk show host that that is my favourite. You have found that niche that that only a few excel at and made it your own. Stephen Colbert summed it up when he said your a natural fit and he is so right. I am looking forward to the next show and wish you continued success. Best wishes and stay safe. J.

Love the beautiful raw authentic conversations. 2020 has shown us what love, healing, forgiveness, empathy, co-creation and collaboration can do 💖🙏🙂🌈🌟

Glad to see Drew with her own show shes always been so down to earth and sweet and she will make a great host. She also listens and has a legit communication with her guests love Charlize also. Both beautiful strong women.

I just love hearing these two love on each other!

really very pretty and brilliant both, miss Theron you are brilliant with a big heart and you miss Barrymore you are also full of life☀️😉🦁

Two amazing women 🌻❤👍 They both emanate such a sincere empathetic kind spirit.

Most of my childhood was really tough for me God bless u ladies keep up the good work and u are entertaining us and inspiring me as well and i feel the same way as u ladies.🙏❤💜

I casually looked at the suggestions, which are often not too exciting, and saw "The Drew Barrymore Show", and Charlize Theron, and got excited, and I wasn't disappointed, what a great interview, so I subscribed to my youth hero's (yes, ET) very own new channel, which I find moving and exciting, because she's Drew Barrymore, an icon of genuine Hollywood stardom.

These two woman are incredible. Strong, beautiful, honest, real and raw.

She was so great in Fury Road.

Charlize has done some "interesting" roles. Very versatile in her craft. She seems so down-to-earth 🌎 in this video. Such a strong female. 💪👏 👏 👏

We love Drew Barrymore!!! I hope your show sticks around for years to come!!!! We need people like you on TV right now!!!

You two are amazing

Thanks for doing this heart to heart interview between two amazing persons.

I realize I feel so much like Charlize, I always looks for a peaceful environment every day and I have always been mostly single, not until a few years back I realize it was growing up in a violent household that scared me so bad , that I became my own parent in my adulthood, when her voice changed when she speaks about it, it happens to me too, is hard to speak about it and It feels like I avoid it as much as I can, I know is important to be vulnerable and share, but is very difficult to go back and play the past while we speak.

Drew has been acting from a very young age and has been through both good and bad times in her life. She has achieved success and is a genuine individual. I wish her the best of luck with her new show.

Hey Drew, I love when you smile because I see flashes of that adorable little Drew you were in E.T.!

It’s so important for all of us to hear each other’s truths. I love these two women for making these revelations about their private lives and being living breathing examples of how to move forward in live AND pull others forward too. I didn’t know any of this about Charlize.

Wonderful interview ! Love the discussion of their childhood vs their children's experiences.

She's my absolute favorite! 💚 Glad to see her on this show! 💚💚💚

I'm still working remote, and I think I'm relying on Drew, Kelly Clarkson, Jada etc... to be my new girlfriends. During this chaotic time, I feel you "sistas" in womanhood. Bravo to showing, and sharing your truth! There's a kinship in knowing, during crazy times, that I'm not "CRAZY".

Domestic violence has skyrocketed during the stay at home orders. I appreciate that they acknowledged that. It's heartbreaking

Drew and her guests are the most uplifting bunch. 💖

I love these ladies. We do need to have communities of strong women around us. I would love that. I had some people at my last work place who I could turn to for help, strength and advice, but I lost my job due to COVID. It gets very lonely. And my husband is now working from home, so I have no escape from his moodiness. I have worried about domestic violence and child abuse increasing during this time. I hope those women and children find safety. Mine is “just” emotionally abusive. I think I have realized that I need to find a new job fast and get a plan in action to create a better life for myself. I’ve had this vision for years after watching “The Golden Girls” in my youth of a place where women could live together and support each other. Like a complex with separate living quarters so you could have privacy, but could share resources and laughs whenever possible. If I won the lottery, I would buy some land and build something. Oh, and have a small shelter there too to help animals in need. I seem to have cats show up on my properly regularly that don’t have a home. I’ve named the new one Rufus.

I love this relationship, they just uplift each other's spirits! Charlize, you are the best!! and Drew, keep doing what you do, you are an amazing host!!. You both are empowered women!

When one beautiful soul speaks to another! I LOVE this!!!!

Two great actresses love this. Mrs theron looks ageless

Where is the rest of the interview?

I too know what a horrible childhood feels like, but like these smart beautiful women have said, the experience grows us into wiser, protective parents that can appreciate the simple beauty of a peaceful home environment-a stable environment. Love you both! I’ve laughed and cried at both actresses movies. Mystic RS MY MYSTICAL CHANNEL

What a beautiful exchange between these two wonderful women!

Your the best! Keep it up! I am a huge fan, I appreciate your honesty and grown! You inspire me, your words over the years have helped me have a better outlook on life and myself as a young woman:) I'm glad you got a new show, I look forward to your future episodes.

It's really true what they say about Drew. There is such a light around her. It shines through. Not sure what it is, a goodness, or positivity, coupled with pureness? Like it's clear she is genuinely good.

"...to not grow up walking on eggshells.." I so felt that. Has always been my number one goal with my own kids 💜

I have known Charlize, as an actress and she is amazing, but knowing she is full deep in a non goverment organization fighting for domestic violence and hiv in africa! Kudos to her! And a whole new level of respect! I think the world, me, you, everyone have to study, learn and fight for what it is right! Always! not in a political way, they always screw things up! but in a human way!

I love these two fan Girling over each other. Pure love and respect for one another. So refreshing.

Drew is the Oprah of our generation!! 🥰 such a beautiful soul..inside and out 😘

I love this. But would love it more if one person's interview was in one video.. Just a request! Please... If possible...

Charlize has never looked better. Love the hair! Love the makeup (would love to know how you do it C). Most of all, love all that divine youness in that beautiful shell. You inspire. And so does Drew

I love the stories of these two women, and I am so happy that they made the best of their upbringing. I just wanted to add that you became amazing women despite of the trauma, and not because of the trauma. Give yourself the credit you deserve for who you became! And I am so glad you are both striving to raise children who will not have to heal from their trauma, and can just focus on discovering the best version of themselves.

Rich message to all of us!! Thank You for sharing !!

GUH. I love them both. So happy to hear them speak out so openly and honestly.

Her interviews are really relevant and important. I'm really becoming more in love with Drew 😍

This just shows that everyone has normal lifes, with ups and downs. Thank you so much for this😊

Oh my god oh my god oh my god !!!! this is soooooo goood Drew !!!!!!!

Maravillosa entrevista, dos seres humanos inteligentes, profundos, divertidas y sensibilidad superlativa!!!, ambas expresan el poder del cambio. ¡¡¡Charlize siempre ilumina!!!!

Great video Drew! ❤

I can relate when your father is alcoholic and you scars makes you beautiful rather than blind

So much love and respect for you two ladies ❤️

Who would down vote this interview, let alone Drew Barrymore? A bright positive interview, with two strong ladies, supporting each other. Keep up the solid interviews Drew! I hope your show is a big success.

you almost spill over with life and love .BOTH of you. feel like sisters and yes we find our lioness through our pain and trauma. baie lekka..baie baie dankie😃.....sending loads of love from the windy city of pe,south africa.....drew, let charlize translate😚

The segments on the shows are so brief. It feels more like a promo than an interview.

Drew and Charlize you are both a inspiration, lovely ladies keep fighting the fight , loved this.

As a 29 y.o male who also appreciates strength and empathy as important qualities in a person, I was totally all warmed up inside to just see these two awesome women exchanging gratitude for each other and I'm sort of a sobbing mess right now lol thanks anyway. We don't see this as often as we should.
