 * Symbol question.svg The source that is supposed to support the first hook seems to be wrong - it goes to an unrelated article "THE HYPE THE ANGEL ANGLE CHARLIE'S GIRLS HAVE THEIR PRIVATE EYES ON MERCHANDISE".
 * Apart from that, everything looks good. The article is long enough (PageSize tool says "readable prose size" is 6494 B), new enough (moved to MainSpace on 10 September), well written, and observes policies.  The source for the ALT1 hook is accurate and in a reliable source.  Gronk Oz (talk) 09:54, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You need to scroll down a little in the article to find the information about the episode, it's the third story down, under the heading "LIVE FROM L.A., IT'S DREW". - JuneGloom07    Talk  13:30, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Mea culpa - I didn't spot that; I was expecting to see a big, bold heading if there was a new story. It's there as you say, and I am happy for this to go ahead. Gronk Oz (talk) 02:36, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Returned from prep per discussion at WT:DYK. The ALT1 hook that was promoted is not supported by the source. Yoninah (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed the discussion at WT:DYK. I've replaced the source for Klaus Landsberg's Emmy nomination in the article, but from the discussion it sounds like the hook is too boring, so I have added a couple more ALTs if that's okay. - JuneGloom07    Talk  23:17, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT4: ... that the producers of "Drew Live II" kept many elements of the episode a secret from the cast forcing them to improvise before a live television audience ? Yoninah (talk) 12:24, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm happy with that. - JuneGloom07    Talk  15:12, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you. Since I added another fact to the hook, could another reviewer approve ALT4? Pinging . Yoninah (talk) 17:34, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * - I hate to get caught up in pedantry, but I can't see support for that extra fact in the source. All it says is that before the show, the producers said: "If time allows, he might let the studio audience decide how the episode should end, and the cast will act out the suggested ending."  Saying a thing might be done if we have time is different from saying it definitely happened. Or is there another source that supports this? Gronk Oz (talk) 23:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, it looks like I misunderstood the source. I dropped the second fact. Is it hooky enough? Yoninah (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Good to go with the new ALT4.  This is pretty much the same hook as I approved originally. Gronk Oz (talk) 05:20, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
