“I CAN’T BELIEVE we just gave everyone in the audience Oura rings,” said Drew Barrymore, laughing. These two episodes—where they’ll take home the aforementioned fitness tracking rings, weighted Bala Bangle wristbands and Ms. Barrymore’s favorite JanSport backpack—are the first time they’ve been allowed to forgo face masks. “When we signed up to do this show in 2019, there were high expectations,” Ms. Barrymore recalls, from her mostly pink dressing room. “When we launched in the pandemic, there was a lot of disappointment. I don’t really identify with smoothness, I identify a lot more with struggle.”
