When Drew Barrymore Opened Up About Her Childhood Friend Paul Shore Proposing to Her

As an ardent fan of Drew Barrymore since her days on “E.T.,” I have been captivated by her journey from child star to accomplished actress, producer, and talk show hostess. Her latest escapade with Pauly Shore, reminiscent of their old days together, is a testament to the enduring bond they share.


Last November, Pauly Shore caused quite a stir when he popped the question to his long-time friend Drew Barrymore during her daytime talk show. More recently, Barrymore revealed her reaction to Shore’s surprising proposal to Entertainment Weekly. She said, “The decision is yet to be made,” but she felt no need for an official response. Barrymore explained that the proposal might have been just one of Shore’s humorous antics, as they’ve been friends since Barrymore was a kid, and they used to babysit her along with Donovan Leitch. She thinks they were simply enjoying themselves on the show.

The actress, fresh from collaborating with Ring for their Ring Pet Portraits initiative, reflects back on the moment when Shore sprung an unexpected proposal on her TV program. She attributes her ability to handle such impromptu situations to the wisdom of David Letterman – you can either awkwardly navigate them or transform them into delightful episodes. Recalling an instance from Letterman’s show, she shares how she spontaneously jumped onto his desk without a clear plan, and how he skillfully eased the tension, particularly for her sake.

Back in 1995, I found myself standing before the legendary Late Show stage, heart pounding like a drum, for I was about to share the spotlight with the one and only, Golden Globe winner Drew Barrymore. Little did I know that this moment would become a turning point in my career. As the taping began, the energy between us was electric, and I couldn’t help but feel a magnetic pull towards the charismatic Mr. Letterman.

In the Ever After film, actress Barrymore hinted at sharing her reaction to Shore’s proposal during an upcoming broadcast. However, that particular episode will not be aired. Yet, she maintains a playful curiosity about the possibility, implying “We’ll see!”

Throughout her life, Barrymore is frequently joined by her pet dog, Douglas, who regularly features on her program and in recent Ring advertisements. Additionally, her bearded dragon, Jeremy, is also a constant companion of hers.

Actress Drew Barrymore, well-known for her role in The Wedding Singer, was delighted to collaborate on a Ring commercial alongside her longtime companion, Douglas, her dog. As part of Ring’s Ring Pet Portraits campaign, the business is planning to donate up to $100,000 to the ASPCA and an extra $400,000 to local animal shelters for every pet photo or video shared on Instagram or TikTok with the hashtags #RingPets. Submissions using both #contest and #RingPets will also be considered for a chance to appear in future Ring commercials, with Drew Barrymore herself selecting the winners.

Draw Barrymore finds joy in combining the seriousness of daytime television with the amusement of late-night programs when hosting her own talk show. Her goal is to establish a cozy, familiar ambiance for her viewers. She takes immense pride in her program and values the collaboration that goes into making it thrive.
