Drew Barrymore experiences hot flashes on her show
Drew Barrymore had an unexpected moment on her talk show when a sudden hot flash hit during a discussion about food expiration dates. As she began overheating, her co-hosts—Valerie Bertinelli, Ross Mathews, and Danny Seo—quickly stepped in to help, fanning her while she struggled to remove her plaid jacket.
Barrymore admitted, “I’m experiencing a hot flash. It’s happening again. God, it’s so hot,” as she tried to cool down. Bertinelli helped her with the jacket and was shocked by how warm it was. She exclaimed, “Oh my God, this is… It’s like a hot blanket.” Mathews compared it to a “thermos” before checking on Barrymore as she kept fanning herself.
Barrymore said, “It’s just so weird that they come out of nowhere, you know? I’m so lightheaded right now.” Trying to lighten the moment, Mathews encouraged the audience to fan Barrymore. Meanwhile, she played along and said, “I wish I could just start taking my clothes off, but that would get weird.”
Despite the sudden hot flash, Barrymore kept things moving, shifting back to the segment’s topic. Laughing at the irony, she quipped, “I feel like I’m having an expiration date, physically, right now.” She continued fanning herself as the discussion moved forward. When Mathews mentioned food waste, she joked, “A fridge, God, I’d love a fridge right now.”
