Melanie Lynskey & Jason Ritter Emotional Reaction to Recalling their Love Story |Drew Barrymore Show

[@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 💔

[@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?

[@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.

[@serendipitytwo777]

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. ❤❤❤

[@Diametricallyopposed00]

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

[@gerrydooley951]

she is a much better actor than he is

[@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 ❤️

[@Aimlessartist]

Omg I’m crying at how worked on himself for both of them at a point. I’m struggling with alcohol myself and often feel like I’ll never be good enough for anyone at this age but this gave me immense hope ❤

[@johannagreen3546]

Sending you love! You got this!

[@blackspider1405]

Keep fighting. I'm almost 2 years sober. It's worth it. And let me tell you this: you're worth it.

[@jules11yates]

❤❤❤

[@Sexygirl31ify]

You can do it! In the name name of GOD! ❤ proud of you! Keep on sister!!!! You got this. Like the other commentator said

[@7dustchickstar436]

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

[@rosshowarth3266]

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

[@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.

[@gerrydooley951]

why is it "crazy" that a child looks like one of their parents

[@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

[@alyzu4755]

Melanie's was one of my favorite characters in "Ever After". Very sweet couple. ☺️

[@Annnnnnnnn_]

Such a beautiful couple. This made me emotional

[@KlassyKat45]

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

[@heatherblake4825]

Jason Ritter is just like his daddy

[@verastanding]

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

[@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.

[@trikywu]

I didn't even know they were a couple! So beautiful. I used to be in love John Ritter when he was on Three's Company. Such a crush that lasted throughout his career. His loss was devastating. Wherever he is now - I bet he's very proud of his son and loves Melanie.

[@ashleyjustice3008]

Wow, the vulnerability of both of these people as they talk about the ups and downs of their relationship…it’s so raw and real and beautiful. God bless them! Even I am getting teary-eyed hearing these two speak!

[@shawnuel]

I could listen to Melanie's voice and NZ accent all day long.

[@truecrimefan2930]

Me too. And Saoirse Ronan's Irish accent

[@shawnuel]

@@truecrimefan2930 Absolutely!

[@ykook7000]

Lol l couldn't

[@thecalmingspace7242]

​@@ykook7000is that because you're a New Zealander?

[@rosieglows]

Come NZ, we'll change your mind 😂😂😂 she's well spoken. We speak REALLY fast too.

[@sabrinarene6909]

So much beautiful vulnerability. Thank you for bringing this conversation between couples regarding alcoholism up. This is such a heart warming story!

[@kasturipaul90s]

The wholesomeness in this video is ❤❤❤

[@arranadams2776]

What I found wonderful about how Drew runs her show or interacts with people - she doesn’t insult their or our intelligence - a genuine interest in understanding and learning

[@stevest-laurent]

Drew has some intelligents, not much though

[@FreshSpecimens]

@@stevest-laurent Um…

[@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 !!!

[@karmaklutz]

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

[@HoneyBee03272]

😭💞😭 I could listen to Melanie talk all day!! Kudos to Jason! John can be thanked as well for raising such a son! 🙏🏻

[@JackieWarner13]

So fun seeing Melanie & Jason being interviewed together!

[@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

[@shanerob681]

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

[@dalam8538]

IKR?????

[@rosieglows]

She is all ours. All of NZ adores her.

[@katrinasangineto8120]

I’m thinking the same thing - I watched EVERY episode or Two and Half Men! She’s incredible ❤

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

I absolutely adore Ever After. So good seeing them together again! Edited to add that Jason has always seemed so great. I used to love his Dad on Eight Simple Rules and Jason reminds me of him so much! What a great couple.

[@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......

[@taurnguard]

4:50 Watch Jason's right hand. He still seems to be in disbelief that he deserves her. Break through the glass, dude. She loves you!

[@MrStinker4]

Wow! Jason is the spitting image of his daddy!

[@dgurl88]

Yes he does and his brother Tyler looks also like their dad

[@jeimmyobando1393]

Love Jason testimony. Thank you Drew for giving us this beautiful interviews showing us vulnerability and true love 😍

[@scrappingscootergirl]

Drew always make me feel like I am sitting down with a good friend! Also I want someone to love me and look at me the way that Jason looks at Melanie! Congrats to Jason and Drew on their sobriety!

[@dawnh8899]

He looks so much like his amazing father 😢 And Melanie is awesome. Love them both!!!

[@villanessa]

I can see why he loves her and why she loves him ❤

[@RH-tv9hk]

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

[@freddielind5282]

I love how he loves his wife! It's refreshing!

[@MariaVOrtiz-ss6qp]

Jason Ritter sounds and looks so much like his famous comedic father actor John Ritter RIP, one of my all-time favorites

[@pokemontas8025]

chile he got me all misty eyed 😭

[@aaronbroughton7188]

I didn’t know these two were together until a couple of months ago, there really cute.

[@em2strange]

Same I also didn’t know she had an accent either lol!

[@saramorris591]

Ever After, hands down my favorite movie, still!

[@cupcakes1087]

Jason sounds like his dad! Beautiful couple🩷🩵

[@islandgirl1403]

I'm sure he hears this all the time from those of us old enough to remember and love his sweet, adorable dad John Ritter: Jason looks just like him! Same gentle, expressive, kind eyes, love of humanity and enormous talent flowing from him. Jason is a beautiful soul like his dad.

[@Disney65Fan]

Jason is like his father so much. He even sounds like him. Rip John Ritter

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ANicole079]

This is so cute and I love that Drew allowed a great conversation around something so personal

[@deadeyes4626]

Luv them! She is so good at the American accent can’t believe I never knew she would b a kiwi

[@pinkyalmeroth3702]

I thought she was Aussie lolzz...but we sound kiwi around Americans. I cross countried across America twice, and all I heard was 'Oh, you're from New Zealand??' No!!!!! I'm from bloody Australia lolzz!!!

[@CazkiwiNZ]

Her Kiwi accent is VERY americanised… she doesn’t sound very Kiwi to my ears anymore

[@MaryBrown-jp1mv]

Such a cute couple! 👏🏻💕💗

[@gardenwonder7977]

Not shocked he’s a sweetheart. His dad was too. What a sweet couple and if you want please have a bunch of sweet babies.

[@mycreativedesignsspace6739]

Jason what a strong name for a kid to grow up with. Loved his father and I love him. I love everything Melanie has played in. 💕💕

[@megans8787]

Ever after was one of my favorite movies with Drew, and Melanie

[@ryleesinger6828]

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

[@TasZ06]

Melanie Lynskey is such an original lovely person. ❤ I wish them all the best in their happy lives together ❤

[@megan2176]

So cool he mentioned misophonia!! I haven't heard it spoken of much, but my son really struggles with it, and can't stand even "tsk" sounds or accidental lip smacking. I love how understanding Jason seemed here, gives me hope my son will find a loving partner someday too! 😊

[@Lauriludeman]

Isn't it too bad that they all laughed about Misophonia? It is such a debilitating disorder. I wish that they could have used that segment to educate people about it vs. laughing it off. Long time sufferer here.

[@megan2176]

I just rewatched it, and you're right, it was totally just laughed off, like it was just a cute quirky thing Melanie did. Sad. Can I ask, do you have a physical reaction with your misophonia? My son has to tilt his head to touch his shoulder to "get rid" of the sound. I hope it gets talked about more, so people can understand it's more serious than a quirk.

[@nj4753]

Omg please. I have it too & I would never want someone to talk about it in a serious and dramatic way. It is a very weird quirky thing to have. But it does bother me on a cellular level when i hear mouth noises but I also recognize how unusual it is and make light of it

[@denisebooth866]

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

[@ednavanbaulen1437]

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

[@greylarue5061]

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

[@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

[@LilBafta]

Wow... the emotional depth here with all three of these humans is so comforting to see. I wish everyone was as genuine and honest. Vulnerability is hard in a hard world.

[@-Greetings-Earthlings-]

I straight cried. So beautiful.

[@erigeeka]

I love you Drew!! You getting compfy on the couch between Jason and Melanie was the best!!

[@MrTech226]

Drew OMG! Jason is splitting image of his father, John Ritter. You know that his father, John is smiling from Heaven seeing Jason happy with Melanie.

[@charlottebezuidenhout2690]

What a lovely couple! Loved Jason’s dad . So happy to see Jason is thriving. Drew is just precious!!

[@jeffreys-vu6gd]

What about Melanie? She's adorable and I had no idea she was from New Zealand! Rose was incredible.

[@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.

[@dh3279]

Love all three of them! I could hang with them in a family room for hours, and love every second! They’re REAL!

[@theresaduhon9281]

I love them all. I have Misophonia also. God Bless everyone.

[@Satanna.avemaria]

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

[@courtvlog3223]

They’re both light , exudes from them, regardless of life, that’s why it works. Refreshing to see such lovely ppl finding one another ❤❤❤❤

[@MISNM0]

What an excellent couple to highlight. I appreciate the authenticity expressed here.

[@tonibalbuena]

[@jnpilot]

This show❤❤❤. Everybody who comes on lays their souls bare on the table because of how vulnerable Drew is. Such a beautiful interview.

I remember my sister and I would go to the library over and over again to get Ever After on VHS and watch it again and again. Love you Drew, Melanie and Jason!

Always a fan of his dad😊he has his dad's heart 🥰 Been fangirling over her since Charlie Sheen😊😊😊

[@carlazona4944]

Drew is just so authentic and loving and a caring host. Damn he looks so much like his dad, which is awesome. And as a person who also suffers from misophonia, I’m grateful he have it some attention. Love them and wish them the best . And best if continued luck on his sobriety ( and Drew’s too) . 🙏🏼💜

[@eddiepettit1855]

Wow! He looks so much like he dad!!! So handsome & she is gorgeous!!!

[@BigBrianBruce]

I’m don’t care about celebrity life’s but I do admire when they open up about their demons cause I believe them talking about it might help Someone out there who has Similar demons and take away the stigma

[@dale4039]

goddamn! Melanie Lynskey is a goddess and she knows it those eyes and that smile

[@jessicaspain5005]

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

[@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! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@chewysugar971]

I’m so happy this show exists.

[@StephWells]

I love that you can still here snippets of her beautiful kiwi accent.
