Barrymore also discussed the reunion with Fallon during her own Tonight Show appearance the night before. "You had your ex-boyfriend on..." Fallon began. "Justin Long... who I love dearly," Barrymore said. "I think there's such a rich conversation about our exes... Where does that friendship go?... If there was good, rich history there, how do we champion those people? How do we have them in our lives and in an appropriate way?" 

The actress and talk show host also praised Long's partner Kate Bosworth, and expressed her gratitude that such a moment was able to happen at all.
