The openness and vulnerability of this man. Beautiful because you can see how nervous he is talking about all of this, especially in a public forum. Rare, brave and beautiful to see such male vulnerability. ❤❤❤

[@gal1885]

I like how Drew actually listens…so many hosts jump in and talk over guests…Drew used to do that but she’s become so great at this ❤

[@w1tchmom]

We won't name names JIMMY FALLON!!

[@shelleykapp9637]

​@@w1tchmom and Kelly

[@cazia9]

Key moment - when Jason mentioned working on himself bc of alcoholism, she just gently lifted her hand and said ‘me too’ to support him and let him finish before sharing her own story

[@orlaw.8213]

Kelly Clarkson does this constantly and makes everything about her! It's mad that she doesn't seem to have got feedback. Drew is so much better.

[@Da420KinG]

Kelly Clarkson always interrupts her guess constantly always over talking them & always makes ot about her.

[@alessandrabroussard8972]

Drew’s show is so refreshing and her approach to making us all feel like her really good friend on the show is so amazing!

[@hollyholy641]

They said that when Ellen first started, too.🥴💯

[@cntrygirl7622]

I had no idea she had an accent. She speaks American dialect so well.

[@pje6882]

except that time when she bowed down before the he/she, Really?

[@theoriginalskinsey]

​@@pje6882 did it trigger you?

[@felicityennew288]

​@@pje6882 What happened?

[@heybigsplendour]

I cried listening to Jason. I know that feeling that you’re not good enough for someone… but I am so glad that he managed to work on himself and is happy with Melanie ❤️

[@Diametricallyopposed00]

Jason Ritter is an absolute gem. And apparently she is too!

[@Julieglam3]

He looks so much like his father it's crazy!! What an adorable couple. So glad they were able to overcome such a tough issue.

[@MidnightL2008]

He sounds just like his dad too!

[@slvrangel22]

Have you seen his brother? Looks so much like John, you would think John was reincarnated. I saw him in something and immediately knew that he had to be John's son. It is almost creepy the resemblance.

[@neonlooiz]

Omggg I love seeing Melanie and Drew together! Fills my heart

[@mrb2349]

They kinda look alike as well. They both feel like lovely people.

[@7dustchickstar436]

I can’t believe I just found out Melanie is a Kiwi. I love this couple and this show! Always so well done.

[@podorf]

OMG. Can't deal with how cute this couple is. And serious kudos to Drew & her team for conducting an interview and creating a space where her guests feel comfortable enough to share themselves like that, without any aggressive or insidious prompting. No one else in the game does that. You're amazing, The Drew Barrymore Show. More please xxxs

[@kasturipaul90s]

The wholesomeness in this video is ❤❤❤

[@karmaklutz]

So glad both of these two beautiful human beings found each other and found Love

[@darkangel_1978]

They make a great couple. I know for me, the moment I knew my husband was the one, was when I was going to have laparoscopic surgery. The doctor said that there was a chance, that I could lose my ovaries, from how big the cysts were in my ovaries. As we were driving home one evening (before the sury), I asked him, "If I lose my ovaries, will you be willing to stay with me." He said he would, and he said, "If it comes down to it, we can either freeze your eggs and get a surrogate, or we can always adopt." That was the moment I knew he was the one. Fortunately I didn't lose my ovaries, and 4 years after the surgery, we welcomed our daughter into the world. Nearly 4 years after my daughter was born, my son was born. I have been very fortunate to have the support that he has given me.

[@rosshowarth3266]

Melanie Lanskey is such a fine actress. Always a highlight of everything she's in

[@shanerob681]

What planet have I been living on, I didn’t know she wasn’t American and that they were a couple. How lovely.

[@JackieWarner13]

So fun seeing Melanie & Jason being interviewed together!

[@KlassyKat45]

Sweet couple. Jason looks so much like his dad. He seems to be just as charming and funny.

[@lucascarter5595]

Drew is so wholesome! She has so many down-to-earth experiences with so many celebs that her show is so different. Please let it continue. Renew!

[@d.owczarzak6888]

LMAO !!!

[@goosebxmps]

few years jason ritter showed up at my work and me and coworker only recognized him because of the freddy vs jason movie and we were so amped that we ended up just giving his latte for free for talking to us for so long lmao overall great guy with a great smile love seeing this happiness on him he deserves it

[@finfog4590]

So the richest guy to visit your store gets a free coffee. Cool

[@boobooboo68964]

​@@finfog4590 oh get a grip. It's a sweet story. Go touch grass, as the kids say.

[@MS-zh6yf]

@@finfog4590 the point is that he is a cool guy. Most actors wouldn’t spend that much time talking to fans. Way to be negative.

[@Hx3ney]

Very jealous. My favorite character of his and of the movie was in the Education of Charlie banks. I loved his crazy. He should do more bad guy rolls

[@goosebxmps]

@@finfog4590 anybody who goes out of their way to be nice to the staff but particularly nice to me gets free coffee im sorry i don’t make the rules 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@denisejohnson4276]

Jason Ritter is so cute. Just like his dad.

[@mikewhite4560]

Drew Barrymore has NEVER LOOKED BETTER......

[@cupcakes1087]

Jason sounds like his dad! Beautiful couple🩷🩵

[@ryleesinger6828]

drew sitting in the middle of them asking for tea on each other is so me

[@greylarue5061]

I love them! I had no idea she wasn’t American! Where have I been? I stinkin adore Jason!! ❤

[@우사민-r3c]

Jason's Dad John Ritter was one of the best comedic actors of all time...highly underrated. May he rest in peace for eternity.

[@jlruiz7634]

John Ritter is my all time favorite

[@MothGirl007]

@Lèmon Lēe Exactly.

[@justmejenny7986]

Definitely NOT underrated.

[@terraw3814]

John Ritter was magical & Jason looks so much like his dad ❤

[@missmelissa1989]

It’s 20 years this September since his tragic passing, he is so very missed 💔

[@Trisha_B_done]

What a beautiful couple. Hope Jason continues to grow in love & acceptance bc his dad was wonderful and I am sure would be extremely proud of him today.

[@carolineneisha]

I don’t burst into tears easily but these two (oh look, these three, because it’s still playing) just did it 😭❤️ This was so powerful. Thank you

[@bethwhite4131]

I love that Drew is just so real, especially about things she going through and things she's been through. Love love LOVE Melanie and Jason together - his dad would just so proud of the man his son has become

[@karimuir5140]

These two have real love. GOD BLESS THEM.

[@ednavanbaulen1437]

I love this couple! Josh is his dad's exact twin. John Ritter was one of the best and he truly was underrated.

[@paigepooler9036]

Ok, they're adorable and I am happy for their happiness. And 100% RELATING SO HARD to Melanie's misophonia. It is real, people.

[@RH-tv9hk]

"I see instructions and I'm like, well I guess this needs to be returned." Haha yep!

[@denisebooth866]

The Ritter resemblance is unbelievable. 😮. Even his voice and mannerisms.

[@leahjagger1309]

My husband of 30 years saw something in me, I never saw myself. He reminds me each day how he loves me, it helps drown out the negative voice in my head.

[@IntriguedLioness]

*LOVE these three in one room!* Although I'm a fan of her Indie work and I remember him from Indy work including the early years of "Drunk History" .... I had never heard Melanie Lynskey interviewed... till now!! *She's a Kiwi!!!!!* I had to Google to confirm Kiwi and not Aussie but since I've lived all over the world including Singapore I'm usually pretty good at those two accents. I normally don't follow celebs on Instagram but I'll probably follow one of the two. Lovely to see they've started a family too! And big thanks to Drew Barrymore and her staff for bringing these two to her stage! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@van_creative]

Melanie is so sweet, what a wonderful couple they make

[@tomhodges1600]

I met Jason at a mutual friends event and he was the nicest guy. I mean, we chatted for a solid hour about everything from music to movies to books. Just a great all around guy. And his father was an absolute legend

[@ejami031]

Jason was unbelievably good in the class. Only one season but incredibly underrated. Should have been a hit

[@Faerygodessmrb]

Melanie is so beautiful and they seem so lucky to have each other. They make such a beautiful couple. I also told my kids how he is the voice of Dipper. :)

[@heatherblake4825]

Jason Ritter is just like his daddy

[@sTrideNizzY24]

The cast from my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE. 😊

[@jessicaspain5005]

From all of those of us with misophonia, thank you very much for raising awareness!

[@Satanna.avemaria]

Melanie is such a great character actress. Underrated and I’m glad I’m seeing her in more and more roles ❤️💖🌸

[@thenonsensechannel808]

I like Melanie’s simplicity😊

[@poetsdreamsatc]

Jason looks more and more like his dad. Both extremely good looking men. Loved watching Melanie and Jason!

[@flowerchild6309]

Melanie is so beautiful!! They’re such a tender couple!! Best wishes to them.

[@michaelt8680]

Jason was great in Freddy v Jason. One of my favorite horror-comedies of all time.

[@CS-ow4gl]

This Interview will help a lot of people ! God bless them for doing this

[@wotan10950]

I first heard of Melanie when I watched the Duplass Brothers tv series. She was extraordinary, and had such a convincing American accent, I had no idea she was from New Zealand.

[@nikki8090]

I love Melanie's voice!

[@jesusangelespinosasalgado9430]

Drew is such a gem... And I have tons of hope that someday we could say in the future, Academy Award Winner Melanie Lynskey, so happy she's doing so well today

[@Dreams_Of_Purpose]

I love Jason Ritter, he needs to be in a lot more movies and tv

[@verastanding]

I love you Melanie!!! And marrying John Ritters son! I'm so happy for you. His Dad was awesome.

[@bryankburrs]

[@mr29]

Jason was SO good in the HBO movie The Tale. Should have gotten an Emmy nomination for it.

He looks just like his dad John Ritter still love old show watch three a company

[@jenniferwellman5311]

He looks exactly like his daddy😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@daughterofolaf]

Wait, wait. Melanie Lynskey is not American?! I’ve seen her in movies since the 90s and never knew this. My mind is blown.

[@toyotajr]

I had to look up Jason Ritter because I had mistaken him for Rider strong thinking it was him in the show Goliath, come to find out he is married to maline lynskey!!! and that he is the son of the late great John Ritter!!!!! Awesome couple. ❤

[@arlenem722]

They're sooo cute

[@sandrastefani1668]

Soulmates❤

[@princepeterwolf]

4 minutes in, I'm a crying mess

[@jaso4455]

I have never actually heard Melanie outside her roles so i never knew she had an accent

[@ykook7000]

Everyone has an accent

[@Kate42]

Jason looks so much like his father John Ritter. I miss his dad. Great and funny man.

[@Jaxxaamillion]

So my sister worked at a fancy hotel in Wailea HI and used to meet all the celebrities. I know more dirt on Sylvester Stallone Sharon Stone, Courtney Love and Jason Alexander (all dicks) Will Smith is known as Will Stiffed because he’s a Scientologist and they don’t believe in tipping. She drove the Travoltas to Lahaina in a private car…no tip. Nice people tho. She said that John Ritter and his wife Amy would come and stay every year and that they were the kindest most giving humans she had ever met. She said John just had this gentle way about him. He’d “stroll around the lobby w his hands in his pockets” just chatting people up. No attitude or sense of entitlement like w a lot of people these days. Refreshing. Jason looks like a chip off the old block to me. ♥️♥️♥️

[@Makeupgal3000]

this is so sweet

[@lillianreardon1897]

I Love Drew!!

[@meverly7834]

I love her, but love her more now that I know she’s with John Ritter’s son. ❤
