In a career-defining moment, veteran actress Drew Barrymore has won her first-ever Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host. The 50-year-old Drew Barrymore Show host scored the prestigious award on October 17, 2025, during the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony.
Barrymore's win comes nearly four decades after her initial Daytime Emmy nomination in 1986, when she was recognized in the Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming category for The Adventures of Con Sawyer and Hucklemary Finn. Despite her long-standing presence in the industry, this marks Barrymore's first career Emmy win.
Notably, the actress was not in attendance to collect the trophy during the 2025 ceremony. However, her historic achievement is a testament to her enduring talent and impact on the daytime television landscape. Barrymore has been a multi-nominee for her eponymous talk show, which debuted in 2020 and has been recognized in both the series and host categories in recent years.
