Drew, 48, was surprised with a Bad Girls reunion for Thursday’s episode of her eponymous talk show – her other co-stars Andie MacDowell and Mary Stuart Masterson also appeared on the show.
The Wedding Singer actress immediately began shedding tears at the sight of Dermot as he surprised her with an appearance on her show.

‘I’m so happy to see you, I might cry,’ Mulroney immediately told Drew as they shared an embrace on stage.
Tissue in hand, Drew was unable to hold back emotion as she gushed about Dermot and the impact he had on her life.
‘Oh my God, Dermot, I was just watching you in Anyone But You — which I love, by the way, it’s such a good movie,’ Drew said, tissue in hand.
‘You were so good to me. I really was, like, a lost 17-year-old,’ she said. ‘I was having so much fun, but I didn’t know how to take care of myself. And you took such good care of me. You were so kind to me.’
As Drew described how well Mulroney treated her, he wiped away tears using the other half of her tissue.
They shared another embrace, with Mulroney remarking in the midst of their hug, ‘I’m so happy to see you.’
‘Incredible survivor,’ he added.
‘Dermot, he really, really took care of me,’ Drew said. ‘I mean, I was wild, guys. I was really, really wild.’
Mulroney was proud to be feeling the tears flow as well.

‘I cannot believe this is happening,’ Drew said during the reunion. ‘Who I am is because of Linda and you guys. I mean I was seventeen I didn’t know where the hell I was going with my life. When I was on set, Andie you were someone that I literally had been watching and was so in love with.’
‘Aw I had no idea,’ Andie said.
‘You were such a hero to me,’ Drew continued. ‘Mary Stuart I was so obsessed with every movie you were in. You were my style icon….everything you did I was so enamored with both of you and I was being given a real chance to be in this film with you and it was a huge opportunity for me because I had been sort of gone and had lost a lot of opportunities.’
‘You were a baby,’ Andie said. ‘But I’m sure you put a lot of pressure on yourself,’ Mary said.
‘Listen I love a midlife crisis at thirteen’ Drew said. ‘It’s awesome I highly recommend it it gets it out of the way and I was able to come back and have a second chance at life and work was my life…
‘I think you can make friends and family and find true joy and happiness and that film is the one that sent me on my way in life with direction and purpose that I didn’t have before I came with you guys.’
