EW's editorial guidelines Published on October 19, 2023 12:48PM EDT Drew Barrymore and Ross Mathews have given each other a little something to remember them by whenever they're not hanging out on the set of The Drew Barrymore Show. The friends were in the middle of discussing a recent story about a college student who was gifted a cardboard cutout of his mom and a poster of his dad on Thursday when Barrymore stood up and declared she had a gift for Mathews. "Ross, I have a surprise for you," she said, pulling out a life-size cutout of herself dressed in a tie-dye T-shirt, a colorful floor-length cardigan, pink beanie, sweatpants, and Uggs. "When we are not at the news desk, I got this for you. And the irony is this is how I really dress when I'm off duty." Drew Barrymore and Ross Mathews with their cardboard cutouts. The Drew Barrymore Show Mathews told the crowd, "That's how she looks when she comes into the office every morning." To further prove his point, Barrymore ducked behind the cutout and began marching it forward. 'This is me walking in," she said before popping back out in front of it dressed in her pastel pink pantsuit. "Ta-da!" As it turns out, Mathews was ready with his own cardboard creation. "Well, Drew, that's real handy, I just got you a cutout of me as well," he replied. "I just thought you should see me in my natural habitat as well." The cutout featured Mathew's smiling face attached to an extremely toned body builder's physique, complete with a tiny golden Speedo. "This is not at all how I come in in the morning," he explained to the audience. Although, "I wouldn't mind, hello, hi!" Barrymore was fully onboard with the look, adding, "I know, Ross, you look good!" "Yeah, well, there's a lot going on under this jacket everybody, alright?" he declared. "And it looks just like that!" The Drew Barrymore Show airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings.
