The Ellen Degeneres Show Premiere

[Nanny Fine]

Okay I caught it tonight on Oxygen.

Let me say that first of all, Jennifer Aniston is my favorite actress - I LOVE LOVE LOVE her and yay! I saw her on Ellen - who is another of my favorite actress's and now talk show host.

Ellen's show is very well done so far - I'm anxious to find out how it's doing in the ratings and hope to hear that it will continue on.

Anyone else enjoying it?

Today's episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show was dedicated to the memory of John Ritter. I thought that was very nice.

Aww geez man. :(

Maybe they'll do a triute to him instead.

I haven't seen Ellen's new show yet, I saw Jennifer Aniston on the last ep of ellen's sitcom. Anyhoo- is the show at all funny? does ellen do any standup/sketches or go out on the streets yet? Maybe for the day John Ritter was meant to be on they'll talk to people who knew him or the cast of 8 simple rules and stuff. Had ellen ever worked with john does anyone know?

Darn. I didn't realize Oxygen started it last night. LOL. Oh well, I'll catch it tonight.

[Glitz]

I didn't think I was going to like this show but it is really funny!!
I'm sorry I missed the episode with Jennifer Anniston(She could do no wrong in my book:biglove:)But I did catch the episode with Justin Timberlake!!!:liplick:This show is gonna be BIG
Good Luck to Ellen:woohoo:

Ok yea indeed it is very sad that John wont be able to appear on her show. He was truly a great actor. I remember growing up watching him on TV. :(

But anyways- Just out of curiosity why do you all like Ellen so much? Be honest. Is it cause shes funny, because she inspires, because shes gay? What?

I'm not exactly sure, even when I was too young to understand all the humour in her shows I watched Ellen. Her rambling is hilarious, the way she delivers he lines on her sitcoms, standup ,anything at all. Reading her book you can imagine her saying the lines (I know some of those lines she really did say, they're from her 'Taste This' Album). and her insights on life are hilarious. Once her book is out I'll be there right away to get it- I wonder if it'll do as well as her first book? I'm suprised she isn't swamped with offers to do voice-work after Finding Nemo or to get back into movies, but if the ellen degeneres show is phenomonly successful, she'll probably get another sitcom or something, her first book was released at the height of her fame, so it's unlikely it'll do as well (then again, not many books ever do as well as her first book, my point and I do have one). It's not in print anymore-I had to get it from the library, hopefully they'll sell it at a booksale soon, it's great.
Also, ellen seems to genuinely like the public, which makes her a great person and entertainer.

Ellen makes me laugh like no other actor or actress can. She has an amazing talent, she is a fighter, she wont let it go to waste. Her first show was canceled by idiots for hating her for being gay, but she still performed, she never gave up. She started another show, which was okay, but she says she didn't put her soul into it like the first one. I don't think any comedy show she does can beat her first one, that was hilarious! Her talk show, she still makes me laugh, she isn't dull like others. I watched the Sharon Osbourne show when it premiered and it put me to sleep! :lol: Ellen has never done that to me before. I love her, she is fantastic. I wish Ellen the best of luck in the future.

I wish they'd bring back, 'Ellen' and start filming a new series, when Ellen was cancelled there was talks of another network picking it up. It did go downhill for a while (the supporting cast disappeared for sumthing like 7 episodes) but then it all picked right back up again (the ellen hollywood story thing was hilarious) and the show never REALLY ended (the episode 'Vows' is officially the last ep) so it'd be easy to revive it. If they don't revive it the least they could do is give David Higgins his own spinoff of Ellen- he was the second best after ellen in the show!

I just watched today's episode. It was really good, Ellen was hillarious.

[shocolah]

Ellen is awesome......I'm not really into talk shows, but this one is the best one I've ever seen! I'm watching it on Oxygen right now.

All three of the above for me.

Jennifer Aniston was fantastic on Ellen's show...so natural and very funny. What a great looking lady!

Does anyone here tape any episodes of Ellen's new show? I'm looking to see the Joely Fisher episode, the Halloween episode, Cloris Leachman, Betty White and the Finding Nemo cast reunion.

[Chris111]

I love her show and she had some great guests so far.

Hated that I missed the show about John Ritter, he was one great comedian.

[webuster]

Did they still do a show about John Ritter? He was meant to be on on the 23rd of September but then tragically died unexpectedly- I didn't know they dedicated a show to him.

I saw the Finding Nemo show, and it was ok. The bad thing was that they had a blue wavy line across the tv, that was trying to make it look like everyone was underwater. As the show went on, the blue finally reached all the way to the top, and it made it very difficult to see the guest who were talking. It would have been ok to just do it for a few minutes, but it went on for the whole hour....terrible!!

You are right. I think I might have confused this with another show that did a tribute thing on him.

I don't know if Ellen did a show, with him as the main focus. Would be cool though, if she did.

I love her show, I just hope they will never have her getting make-overs again, I like her just the way she is and what she wears looks good on her. No need to change. :)

Bette Midler's on the show for thanksgiving. If any of you could make a transcript or just listen out to see if Bette speaks about 'the stepford wives'- i'd appreciate it.

I will be taping it for sure :) (of course I tape it every day so that's no different!)

[EricIdlefan]

John Ritter has been missed by so, so, many people!!

[webuster]

Nanny Fine, did you hear if Bette Midler mentioned The Stepford Wives at all?

Do you know who the guests were that day? Ellen's reruns start on 12/22 (probably until 1/5), and I'm hoping they re-air the tribute to John.

They did Hollywood Squares a lot and John did guest star on her new show, The Ellen Show, but unfortunately that episode never got around to air because the show was canceled.

[webuster]

I forgot that John worked with Ellen- I've got that episode of The Ellen Show now- it's really funny. John plays a self-help guru brainwashing people and stealing their money, and Ellen's sister wants to go on the road with him..

How did you get it? CBS never aired it, but I'm sure someone overseas did? Or maybe HDNet here in the U.S. aired it? Since they usually air the short lived canceled CBS sitcoms ("Bette," etc.).

[webuster]

In the UK they always show the unaired episodes from tv series. Paramount Comedy show the ellen show every few months and I taped all of the episodes. It's a really good episode, john is great in it, the character's really funny, and at the end of the episode he reveals why he's so mean and takes peoples money and starts blubbering like a baby to ellen.

I love this show.:D Ellen is doing a great job, and she has been signed on for another season!!:)
