Drew Barrymore
BY JAY BOBBIN
OF THE DREW BARRYMORE SHOW ON SYNDICATED
Q: Will “The Drew Barrymore Show” be continuing for the new TV season?
A: It is. The syndicated, CBS-distributed weekday talk show actually got an early renewal for a fifth round last January, not long after it began its fourth stanza, which was delayed — as so many programs were — by the writers’ and actors’ strikes. (Barrymore had been enmeshed in a controversy over that situation, since she had planned to put her program back in production while the strikes were ongoing, but she reversed those plans, though a couple of her writers ultimately left.) In fact, the show already has been renewed for a sixth year, which will take it through the 2025-26 season.
Though she’s sometimes criticized over how close she gets to her guests, literally as well as figuratively, the effusive Barrymore’s Daytime Emmy-winning show is a popular stop for celebrities … particularly those she has a personal connection to, often from her acting and producing careers, such as Adam Sandler, Cameron Diaz and Jimmy Fallon (Fallon’s wife, Nancy Juvonen, is Barrymore’s partner in the company Flower Films).
In some cases, Barrymore has been landing daytime-exclusive interviews, such as the session she had early this year with the principal female cast of the FX drama “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” (which included Naomi Watts, Diane Lane and Demi Moore). The host also had a much-reported on-air conversation with Vice President, and current presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.
Another aspect that has likely helped “The Drew Barrymore Show” is the format it’s had since its third season, which gives a station the flexibility to run it as two self-contained half-hours, either adjacent to each other or in different parts of the programming day. That was likely a help to some “Drew”-carrying NBC affiliates during the recent Paris Olympics, when the network’s usual weekday schedule was altered and turned local time periods over to stations that normally didn’t have those to have to fill.

Max Homa tees off for what he hopes will be his third Procore Championship victory
The 2024 PGA Tour continues this week, as some of the best golfers in the world tee off at the Silverado Resort. Taking place Sept. 12-15 in Napa, California, the Procore Championship broadcasts every round live on the Golf Channel.
Max Homa has had a standout career thus far with six PGA tour victories under his belt, made even better when he kicked off the year with a historic 447-yard drive at the Sentry — the longest in the PGA Tour’s ShotLink era. Homa’s performance during major tournaments this season has also seen a vast improvement, with the California native securing a tie for third place at this year’s Masters, a significant milestone in his career marking his first top-five finish in a major.
While the season has seen significant improvements for the player, Homa still remains winless and has gone home with a few devastating finishes — landing T70 at the Genesis Scottish Open and T43 at the British Open — some of the worst performances of his career. The bad luck seems to have carried over for at least one more tournament, with Homa’s performance at the FedEx St. Jude Championship landing him dead last at T70, carding three bogeys in Round 1, followed by five bogeys and two double bogeys in Round 2.
Despite racking up some substantial hiccups this season, fans shouldn’t be surprised if he manages to climb his way back up the standings. Homa’s familiarity and past experience at the Procore Championship will surely come in handy. The Burbank local is no stranger to winning in Napa, having won the tournament back-to-back in 2021 and 2022. Whether Homa manages a victory or not, his 2024 season has shaped out to be a thrilling one.
As the PGA Tour heads to the Silverado Resort, all eyes will be on Homa to see if he can make the ultimate comeback to win his third Procore Championship.

‘Universal Basic Guys’ search for purpose
The future is now, and every day it feels like someone’s career becomes a redundancy to some new technological advancement.
Brothers Mark and Hank Hoagies, voiced by Devin Halliwell (“Hustlers Gamblers and Crooks”) and Adam Malamut (“The Champions”), lose their jobs at the local hot dog factory when robots are brought in to replace them in the series premiere of the animated comedy “Universal Basic Guys,” airing Sunday, Sept. 8, on Fox.
“Universal Basic Guys” premieres alongside a returning grown-up animated sitcom staple in Fox’s Animation Domination Sunday night block of programming. Following the new series’ premiere, “Bob’s Burgers” returns to continue its 14th season after a summer break, with a new episode that sees the Belcher family get an invitation to Rudy’s (Brian Huskey, “Veep”) father’s birthday party, where they find him insecure about how he measures up to one of his guests.
The series voice cast also includes H. Jon Benjamin (“Archer”) as Bob Belcher, John Roberts (“Gravity Falls”) as Linda Belcher, Dan Mintz (“Adventure Time”) as Tina Belcher, Eugene Mirman (“Delocated”) as Gene Belcher and Kristen Schaal (“What We Do in the Shadows”) as Louise Belcher.
Created by two real-life brothers, Adam and Craig Malamut (“Game of Zones”), “Universal Basic Guys” explores the lives of a sibling duo who trade one version of the working class dream for another when layoffs gain them entry to a new universal basic income program.
When Glantontown Hot Dog Factory closes down its manned operations in favor of a fully automated production line, to adjust for the significant rise in unemployment, a pilot program provides each resident with a monthly income of $3,000 with no strings attached.
With enough to live off of from the universal basic income program and a lot of time on their hands, the Hoagies brothers
Experience the majesty of America’s vast and picturesque landscapes with two brandnew episodes of this docuseries, airing back-to-back. Visit Alaska’s lush and expansive Katmai National Park, before traveling south to Florida’s ecological treasure: the Everglades. Brimming with life, excitement and stunning cinematography, “National Parks: USA” continues Sunday, Sept. 8, on National Geographic. More on the series’ prior installments can be found at natgeotv. com/za/shows/nationalgeographicwild/ americas-national-parks-2022#synopsis
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
spend their days in search of purpose in a world that has stamped them as redundant. Acting on their whims, the brothers have a lot to learn about their varied ventures.
The pursuit of meaning leads the brothers to such endeavors as hunting deer with sophisticated equipment to reconnect to their primal instincts, football stadium management and dangerous exotic pet ownership. Who knew you could just buy a championship football ring on eBay? Not every step they take is on the right path, and at least one attempt at a new direction sends Mark to the hospital after his face is ripped off by a former lab chimp.
The voice cast of “Universal Basic Guys” includes “Unstable” and “Portlandia” actor Fred Armisen as David, Ally Maki (“The Big Door Prize”) as Andrea and comedian and voice actor Talia Genevieve as Tammy, Mark’s wife.
Fox, the home of the Animation Domination, put its weight behind the newest addition to its Sunday night block of animated series when the network renewed “Universal Basic Guys” for a second season back in May, ahead of the series premiere.
“From Episode 1 of this terrific new comedy, Adam and Craig Malamut turn the Hoagies’ everyday life on its head in such an original way that we immediately ordered a second season,” Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, said in an announcement of the sophomore season greenlight.
Also joining “Universal Basic Guys” and “Bob’s Burgers” on Animation Domination Sundays this fall are a few returning sitcoms, while “The Great North” wraps up its fourth season in back-to-back episode blocks on Sept. 8 and 15. Dan Harmon’s (“Community”) hit animated sitcom “Krapopolis” also returns this fall on Fox, premiering its second season on Sunday, Sept. 29. Plus, the flagship series of Fox’s animated sitcom block, “The Simpsons” is back for its Season 36 premiere on Sunday, Sept. 29.
After a tumultuous third season, Elena (Alba Rohrwacher) and Lila (Irene Maiorino) continue to struggle with the meaning of life, together pondering what purpose the roguish Nino (Fabrizio Gifuni) serves in their lives. Transporting viewers to the height of the 80’s in a bustling Italy, “My Brilliant Friend” premieres its fourth and final season this Monday, Sept. 9, on HBO.

When thrill-seeker Cricket (Chris Houghton) tricks his family into taking a “road trip” in space, chaos in the cosmos quickly ensues.
OF “CAR MATCHMAKER WITH SPIKE FERESTEN”
Q: What ever happened to Spike Feresten after his talk show ended?
ON ESQUIRE NETWORK
A: The cleverly named “Talkshow with Spike Feresten” ended in 2009 after three years on Fox — the network’s brief attempt at competing in the late-night talk game. After that, host Spike Feresten went back to his old writing game — he came to fame as a writer on “Seinfeld” and “Late Show with David Letterman” — and, at the same time, he became a full-fledged Car Guy. And the car thing takes up more time.
His most notable writing gig was another collaboration with his old buddy Jerry Seinfeld. The two co-wrote and co-produced “Unfrosted,” a jokey history of the Pop Tart that was released on Netflix earlier this year.
Other than that, plus a couple of unsuccessful sitcom pilots, most of Feresten’s time lately has been spent on his persona as a car aficionado.
That includes his series “Car Matchmaker with Spike Feresten,” which aired three seasons on the Esquire Network in the mid-2010s, and it includes his longer-lived podcast, “Spike’s Car Radio,” which has been going since 2016 and is available wherever you get your podcasts.
If all this sounds a little bit — or maybe a lot — like his buddy Seinfeld’s own series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” there’s a good reason for that. Seinfeld said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that his idea for his show started with him and Feresten “driving ... in a cool car to get coffee 20 years ago.”
Feresten leans into the similarities on his podcast, which he describes as “cars, coffee and comedy,” and which has often featured Seinfeld as a guest.
Far from being competitive, Feresten enthused about the success of Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” saying it legitimized the act of being a car guy. He particularly pointed out an episode with former president Barack Obama as a guest.
“That moment elevated this car thing of ours,” he told Petrolicious.com (a website similarly for car geeks). “It speaks to just how big this thing is.”
