In an unexpected twist, comedian Pauly Shore took both Drew Barrymore and her audience by surprise during a recent episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
Shore, who appeared on the show to discuss a range of topics including his mother’s influence on Barrymore’s “Mitzy Bananamore” character and his own personal experiences with love, suddenly changed the tempo by presenting Barrymore with an engagement ring.
The two celebrities share a rich history, with Shore having babysat Barrymore during her childhood. Their discussion even touched upon sensitive topics, such as the passing of Matthew Perry. However, it was the light-hearted banter about Shore’s love life and his difficulty in maintaining relationships that eventually led to the unexpected proposal.
He shared candidly with Barrymore, “Letting love in scares me. I fear getting hurt.” Yet, he emphasized his desire for a meaningful relationship that went beyond the superficial. He dreamt of a bond where simple joys, like grabbing a sandwich together, held more value.
Barrymore responded with warmth, expressing her hopes for Shore to find that perfect companion – one where friendship took precedence, but didn’t rule out the possibility of an occasional romantic connection.
Yet, the real shocker came when Shore revealed a past conversation with his mother about Barrymore’s former husband, Tom Green. “My mother always felt you should’ve married me,” he said, leading up to his dramatic proposal, complete with a knee drop and a glittering ring.
Barrymore, visibly touched and surprised, accepted the ring but left the audience in suspense about her final decision. “Stay tuned for my answer,” she teased.
Concluding the episode, an emotional Barrymore professed her affection for Shore, saying, “This has been an incredible journey. Pauly, I have so much love for you.” The episode ended with a promise to reveal more in the subsequent show.
