Show Summary

  • Returning Series
The Ellen DeGeneres Show has consistently been one of the world's highest-rated shows and has been awarded many Daytime Emmy Awards. Hosted by star of Ellen and The Ellen Show, Ellen Degeneres always brings her A-game in order to make you laugh. Featuring a unique mix of celebrity interviews, chart-topping and up-and-coming musical performances, audience participation games, and segments spotlighting real life stories, and amazing talent throughout all age-groups. Ellen encourages a "negative-free zone", and tries to make everybody feel as if they are in the studio, even if they're sat at home. She regularly rings viewers and throughout regular segments within the show encourages people at home to send in videos, letters and even leave voicemail messages. Unlike other talk-shows were the host is accompanied by a houseband, Ellen is joined by a in-house DJ. Since the start of the series, there have been four DJ's (Scotty K, Jonny Abrahams, DJ Stryker, and Tont Okungbowa). However, Tony Okungbowa has been around the longest, appearing during most of season 1 and 2, and regularly since season 6. What is a huge part of the show, as at the start of each programme, after delivering her opening monologue, Ellen dances with the audience, following on from this she does her signature dance across her coffee table. Produced by Warner Bros. Entertainment on the Warner Bros. lot in California.moreless

  • Because of your love of animals

    10
    "Perfect"
    By kbrickner, May 21, 2012

    It is with my mother in mind that I'm making this effort to contact you. She talks as though she is a life-long friend of yours, and she admires the concerns and efforts you put forth to help people and animals. Your show literally starts her every day.
    My mother had dedicated herself to taking care of her now grown asthmatic children and now deceased husband. She then focused her energy on animals, dogs, cats and miniature horses. Now in her 79th year, she had to face the loss of her 5 acre horse farm, her husband, and the loss of a comfortable income. These events led to the short sale of her farm and she was forced to relocate, with her three dogs and three miniature horses. From her small income she has managed the boarding of the minis by friends, but her money is running out and her welcome is wearing thin. My mother has been spending her days trying to find forever homes for them, but unfortunately, the economy in Michigan has made the selling of quality show horses impossible.
    My Mom thinks she shares the same emotions as you; she would want you to understand these are not just horses; they are truly 'Equine friends'.
    Is there some way you could somehow help? Maybe you or some of your friends would be interested in helping my mother find homes for these minis? She has one stallion and two geldings, and they are truly lovable and will captivate any horse lover.
    Knowing they had been placed in loving, forever homes would give her peace of mind and the financial relief she is looking for.
    Thanks!!

    You are so funny and I enjoy your show tremendously. I am writing for a selfish purpose. Last year I had to have back surgery because I could not walk more than 5 minutes at a time. The surgery helped tremendously. The problem is I had to have 3 surgeries and with no health insurance I had to use all of my savings for the first surgery. My legs are getting worse again and I need the other two surgeries, I am NOT asking for any money I am asking if you could have the doctors on for a few minutes of advertising their business and they will give me my surgeries for free, I wrote you a few minutes ago but I am not sure if the post went through. I have also written Dr. Oz. I tried winning the one million transformation but I only lost 20 pounds. I also wrote Oprah in the hopes out of all three of you someone will let the doctors talk on their show and I will be able to walk right again. Thank you for your time.moreless

    HI ELLEN, I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, I RECENTLY LOST MY JOB DUE TO A FAMILY TRAGEDY OF MY KIDS WITNESSING A CRIME OF A HOME INVASION, I HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK GOING ON 3 MONTHS NOW AND ITS REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW. BUT WATCHING YOU GIVES ME INSPIRATION TO STAY STRONG FOR MY KIDS. YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, I CRY AT TIMES TOO, BUT DANCING WITH YOU EVERYDAY MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT, IN THE END. I PRAY DAILY TO FIND A JOB, BUT I FEEL I'M BEING JUDGED BECAUSE OF MY SITUATION THAT HAPPENED WITH MY KIDS AND NOW I'M STUCK AT THE END OF MY ROPES WITH NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. I WISH ONE DAY J DECENT PAYING JOB TO STAY AFLOAT FOR MY CHILDRENS SAKE. I'M A CERTIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANT AND ITS LIKE I WASTED MY TIME OF GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE I HAVE THIS BLACK CLOUD ABOVE MY HEAD, ALL I ASK IS YOU PRAY FOR ME TO STAY IN SOUND MIND AND BODY WITHOUT LOSING IT LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO. AND I'LL CONTINUE TO DANCE WITH YOU EVERYDAY, BECAUSE YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN. NO ONE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN OF WHAT I GO THROUGH DAILY OF THE FACT OF MY KIDS SEEING MY BOYFRIEND GETTING SHOT IN THE FACE TO PROTECT THEM OUT OF LOVE FOR ME. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY GOD SENDS ME AN ANGEL. THANK YOU MY DANCING ANGEL ELLEN, I LOVE YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE AND NEVER JUDGING, A.R.B.moreless

    Ellen is talented and has a real suave personality about her! I like it! She is a great host, the performances have a huge stage, the crowd interaction is on point, and she has a million jokes to tell... I'm surprised she hasn't written a book yet! But nevertheless, the lady always has something interesting to say and I love to watch this show! Go Team Ellen!
