The talk show host and actor appeared at the 92nd Street Y as part of the Recanati-Kaplan Talks series to support singer-songwriter and actor Reneé Rapp’s new LP Snow Angel. During their conversation, a man in the crowd walked down the aisle and shouted Barrymore’s name. He identified himself as Chad Michael Busto and said he needed to see her while in New York.
