Asked by Andy if she's ever considered giving dating apps Raya or Tinder a go, Drew said she had actually been watching her friends using those services.
Drew added she's been watching her friends use the dating app Raya, but confessed to having some reservations about online dating in general.
'My concern with the dating app is always like, am I going to be that person who classically meets a psycho, and then I end up murdered that night!?' she said.
Not her thing: Drew also admitted she has not interest in trying out online dating

'So I think that alone was a turn off!'
The actress remembered dating in the days before smart phones.
'I remember when you were just waiting for that phone to ring, and then you were worried because you'd miss their call and then the answering machine manifested and it was tapes, and you were so, kept checking that tape. Like, there's a part of me that still dates from that kind of perspective.

'I can't stand when people want to talk on the phone all the time, or text, or email,' she added.
The actress appeared on the show to promote her new Netflix series, Santa Clarita Diet, and while publicizing the program on the Today show, said she had let herself go before filming the new show due to 'personal circumstances.'
Drew dished about losing 20lbs for her role on Santa Clarita Diet as Sheila, a real estate agent who becomes a zombie that feeds on human flesh.
