  • The season 46 premiere of "Saturday Night Live" included a sketch about Drew Barrymore, played by Chloe Fineman, and her new talk show.
  • It also mocked the controversy surrounding "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
  • "After seeing what went down with Ellen, we took a hard turn in the other direction," the narrator says in the sketch.
  • Fineman's Barrymore describes herself as a "boho free spirit mommy mother movie star."
  • The sketch makes direct references to allegations that DeGeneres doesn't allow staffers to make eye contact with her and fosters a toxic work environment, saying that the new host "maintains eye contact too long and is too emotionally supportive."
