Drew Barrymore's strict rules for talk show audience members revealed including NO photos or autogra
DREW Barrymore has strict rules for her talk show audience, as fans are unable to take photos with the star or have autographs signed.
Drew, 47, is host of The Drew Barrymore Show on CBS, which is currently airing its third season.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the strict rules for audience members who attend the pre-recorded tapings.
A source claimed audience members are told to shut their phones off before entering the CBS studio.
Fans are unable to turn their phones back on, even during filming breaks, unlike other daytime shows such as ABC ones.
Crew members scan the audience throughout filming to make sure members are following the phone rules.
An insider told The U.S. Sun: “Audience members are often upset over the phone rule. Her studio is beautiful and so many attendees have been longtime fans of Drew.”
Another rule is no autographs, as the actress is known for her many iconic movie roles.

The source said: “Audience members often come with her books, famous magazine covers and more hoping Drew will sign their items.
“But fans are instructed that they are unable to ask Drew, who often interacts and talks to her audience members during filming breaks, for an autograph.”

If guests are unable to attend the September 15th taping, they could apply for another day with the code.
The email read: “We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience that this may cause to you and your party.”
A rep for the show did not respond to The U.S. Sun's request for comment at the time.
LOW RATINGS
The taping cancellation comes after a season of bad ratings for the talk show.
Ratings for season two averaged 500,000 viewers a day, which is a third of ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan.
The low ratings came despite the actress’ star-studded guests, including Paris Hilton, Savannah Guthrie, Kate Hudson, Machine Gun Kelly, Andy Cohen, Bobby Flay, Dakota Johnson, Cameron Diaz, Billie Eilish and more.
But there will be changes to season three to hopefully boost ratings, as CBS Media Ventures will produce the show as two half-hour episodes stations can air back-to-back or split.
The change was announced in April, as the actress said at the time: "I am honored and grateful but I also want to take this show higher and continue to innovate and be a game changer in the daytime space…
