'SNL' takes a dig at 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' controversy in a sketch about Drew Barrymore's talk show

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."
