Wow. My guest tonight, I could not be more excited. Drew Barry Moore is joining us everyone. She's here to talk about her new show on on Netflix, Santa Clarita Diet, which is really amazing. Second season already going on. But first, the race, the race, the race, the race, the race, the race, the race, the race, the to, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I which is really amazing. Second season already going on. But first, the race for New York Governor just got a little more sexy. Former Sex and the City star, Cynthia Nixon Nixon, says she's running for New York Governor.

The Tony Emmy and Grammy winner announced she would challenge the incumbent Democrat Andrew Cuomo. I think there are a lot of people who would like me to run. And I think for a variety of reasons, but I thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, thi, the the to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, the thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, throoooomuuui, theui, thoooooooooooooooomuuui, to to to to thoooo would like me to run. And I think for a variety of reasons, but I think the number one is education. Wrong. The number one reason is Sex and the City. I mean, yeah, are you kidding me? I love that show. I'm so glad Miranda is running. I mean, like, also education on the subway and that stuff, but mostly brunch.

Now, look, obviously I'm joking, but a lot of the media are getting too caught up with focusing on her role in sex in the city. And they're not seeing that she has a viable candidate with a real platform. You know, she would be the first woman and LGBT governor, and she would be the governor to have the most televised nude scenes since Jebush. Yeah. That really happened. Please clap. Although I think we can agree.

Of all the sex in the city characters, Miranda would probably make the best governor. But Samantha would be the most fun governor. Yeah. Because she'd always make it sexual. You know, she'd be like, I'm gonna get behind our firefighters. Or under them, or on top of them, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, the, where, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. to. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to. And, to or on top of them, wherever I needed. And I bet she would always make sure that the trains were on time,

but it would probably be a different kind of train. You know how she thinks. You know. Okay, actually, you know what? Yeah, Samantha for the opioids, Sematical Governor, Well, let's move for the opioids, Donald Trump is on the case. President Trump is talking tough on the opioid crisis. On Monday in New

Hampshire, one of the states' hardest hit by addiction, he unveiled a plan to combat that nationwide epidemic. The president flew to New Hampshire to make his announcement, a state he once called a drug-infested den. Wow, a drug-infested den? Trump is the only person who will help people while insulting them. Like, you never saw Jesus in the Bible being like, let's give a hand to this poor leper. Because the one he had fell off. Oh!

Oh, you get it? No, no, I'm going to heal you. I'm the helue. I'll me hear you, but that was funny. That was funny. That was funny. All right, any blind people here? The blind guy's like, shh, don't tell him I'm here. I don't want to get roasted. Now, because the opioid crisis is one that's been close to Trump's heart for a long time, the president did lay out some good proposals. Right? For instance, production of less addictive painkillers and more accountability for pharmaceutical companies.

And you can tell from his tone that he's not messing around. Whether you are a dealer or doctor or trafficker or a manufacturer if you break the law and illegally peddle these deadly poisons, we will find you, we will arrest you and we will hold you accountable. Wow. We will find you, arrest you, and hold you accountable. You know he's taking this seriously because he's talking about drugs like they're Hillary. Now, before you get carried away, saying,

wow, Donald has rarely turned into a reasonable president. Don't forget, he may know how to act presidential, but underneath it all, he's still Trump. President Trump has revealed his long-awaited plan to combat the country's deadly opioid epidemic. And among the tougher measures proposed, giving drug traffickers the death penalty. The ultimate penalty has to be the death penalty. Now maybe our country's not ready for that. It's possible. It's possible that our country's not ready for that.

And I can understand it maybe. Although personally, I can't understand that. You know, see? One of my favorite things about Trump is that he has inner monologues out loud. Yeah, it's like America elected Gollum as president. We must have the death penalty. We can't have it. The country is not ready.

We are ready. This is insane. At least, at least we know that even if no one runs against Trump in 2020, the debates are still going to be great. It's just him and himself. And now, look, the truth is I can see why Trump thinks killing drug dealers will solve the opioid crisis, right? It's the same way he thought getting rid of Comey would make the whole Russia thing go away.

But it turns out it's a lot more complicated, right? Today's epidemic is complicated in many ways. Because, okay, fine, let's say you, you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you th thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. throo. thi. In this opioid crisis, that's hardly the only kind of person involved. So do you also kill doctors who overprescribe painkillers? Do you kill family members who buy opioids for their addicted loved ones? Do you kill the people who sell drugs to pay for their own addiction? Or do you know what? It's just complicated? I guess, the thii's th is is is is is is is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their thi, their thi, their their their their tho, their their their their tho, their tho, their tho, their their tho, tho, tho, their, th, th, th, th, the th, the the th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, theei. thei. theiiiiiiii. thoooooooooooooooooooi.. their, their, their, their, their penalty. I understand it now. I get it. And here's the thing. I'm not saying all of Trump's plans are bad. It's just that some of his drug fighting ideas seem to come straight out of the 80s, like this.

This has been something that I've been very strongly in favor of spending a lot of money on great commercials showing how bad it is. So that kids seeing those commercials doing the right shows on television or wherever, the internet. When they see these commercials, I don't want any part of it. That's the least expensive thing we can do, where you scare them from ending up like the people in the commercials. And we'll make them very, very bad commercials. Where Trump, he tried so hard to think of a different word and then he just gave up. Very, very, bad commercials.

Now look, again, I see why Trump thinks that this idea is a thiiii Very, very bad commercials. Now look, again, I see why Trump thinks that this idea makes sense. I mean, if the President of the United States believes everything he sees on TV, then why wouldn't teenagers? But don't forget, America has spent a lot of money on these ad campaigns before. All through the 80s and 90s, you couldn't watch TV without seeing one of these. Joey, I got some stuff you just got to try. What is it? Pop, you know, marijuana.

Oh, well, I don't know. What, you're chicken? I'm not chicken. You're a turkey. Okay, those commercials were very, very bad. And here's the thing, they weren't just corny, right? Studies have shown that those commercials didn't actually work. Remember those commercials that were supposed to stop you from smoking pot?

The National Institutes of Health say it may have done the opposite. According to a study of 12.5 to 18 year olds from 1999 to 2004, ad campaigns were quote, unlikely to have favorable effects on youths. Even more some rounds of the study proved watching more commercials actually predicted teens would be more inclined to use drugs. That's right, believe it or not, drug commercials might make teens more likely to use drugs. Because when you tell a teenager something is dangerous, it just makes them want to do it more. Yeah, and I mean, think about it.

We've been warned for decades that Cheetos are dangerously cheesy. And yet, we still lost Jeremy to them. He died as he lived, flaming hot. We'll be right back. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls?

We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor, producer, director, and entrepreneur, who executive producers and stars in the Netflix series, Santa Clarita Diet. Please welcome, Drew Barrymore. Oh, shit, yeah, I didn't get on your chair gratefully.

Oh, that's the today. Oh, that's cool. Oh, shit, yeah, I didn't get on your chair gratefully. Oh, that's right, we can do that. No, that's cool. I never really am cool when I want to be, so this is just another example of that. Here's what I see on TV. Oh, we're just going to cut that in.

That's what we're going to do. Perfect. Yeah, we're just going to edit that in. I'm like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the mor, the mor, the mor, the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.

Wait, so is that not a character you've been playing in every movie? No. Because that's what people love about you. You can't act that shit man. That takes like life experience. Welcome to the show.

Thanks. I've been a fan of yours for a long time. I've loved everything that you've done. We've known you as a movie star. I mean, from the age of six you were acting.

But now you've moved into TV. I don't know if we can call it TV because it's on Netflix, but you've got the show. You have a character that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that before you've just been on tinder dates, is that how it feels? Yeah, this is like actually lasting, and that's cool. That's, it's like a different show because you play a, a mom and a wife who has also been turned into a zombie. But it's not like the zombie we normally know.

Yeah, I would know how to act out like, like dragging, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th... Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, act out like, like dragging leg, you know, thing. I mean, I feel like that every morning, but I don't know if I could translate it on the screen. My character, who's so fun and cool, Sheila Hammond, kind of saved my life. Like, I was in my 40s and a mom of two, and had given up acting toto like, you know, be a stay-at-home mom. And I probably was more like, ugh, that, that, like, you know, raising kids is hard and it's wonderful and it's so rewarding. And then this thing came along and I thought, oh, this is the worst timing. I don't want to go back to work, but it was the thing, she is what all 40-s 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40. th. th. th. th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and I, and want to go back to work but it was the thing she is what all 40-something year old women need which is like a pull it back together undead is a metaphor for never being more awake and when you realize that you

start living through your id rather than your fears and your over-tiredness and kind of walking through life a little bit dead in some ways, we all could use a really swift kick in the ass and start giving it the full Oprah. Yeah, that's a fascinating. No, I know exactly what you mean. That's a fascinating way to spin it because, like in many ways, that's what Sheila's doing in this show. The zombiness in her life has actually made her appreciate life. Well, Undead is a metaphor for how alive were you. I mean, the show, Victor Fresco, who created it,

talked a lot about also the metaphors of narcissism and, you know, gluttony in our current society, and that it would be a show about a marriage that works, the metaphors of the world, and the exploration of a woman who is immortal and lives through her id. And is that good or are there consequences to that? Well, I mean, it is weird to root for her, which we do as viewers, because she is killing people to eat them. People who don't need to be here, though. But you see, that's the ultimate dilemma, like, how does she decide who's not supposed to be here because like you decide

who's not supposed to be here? Well I don't eat people Drew Barrymore I haven't eaten anyone in like 10 years. Yeah you can certainly eliminate your audience every night of who you think is good or bad right even in the most metaphoric yes but if I ate them I feel like I would be taking it to the next level. Last night, Trevor ate Donald Trump. That would be a headline that I think many people wouldn't be able to get over. I think we're all checking our phones every morning waiting for that headline. Please, please. Please, I'm on a no-cobbs diet.

So the, um, the story, the story that you tell here is really fun and is fascinating. And I mean it is in many ways a metaphor for just like going through a feeling or a time in life. You've done that in many ways. I mean you started acting so young. And your life progressed and then you went from acting into producing and you open businesses. Now you're the co-founder of flower films. You have flower beauty, which is makeup. You have flower eyewear and then th, and th, th, th, th, it it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it is th, it is th, it is th, it is th, thine, it is thine, it is thi thi thi thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is, it is, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, it is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi is thi is thi is thi is just thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is th which is makeup. You have flower eyewear, and then you have Barrymore Wines.

How do you find your Zan? When do you pause and go, okay, I don't want to turn into a zombie? Okay, I don't want to tu. I just want to breathe. How do you do that? All of these things all get the options of turning into zombies? Yeah if you do 10 jobs you can turn into a zombie. That's actually the original zombie story a lot of people don't know that. That's how zombies started. I've been asked like how do you conquer a lot of dilemmas but not zombie. Although it is in the show

it's apropos. Yes. But no I don't I don't know how I do anything to do anything. Does anyone have objectivity on to the their their their their to to their to to to to to their to to to to to to to to to to to their. to to their. to their. to to to to to to to to to to their. the. tho. to to to do. to do. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that's that. that. that's. that's that's. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the thi. the the the. the. the. the.
