I get thousands of letters from my viewers.
And almost all of them start by saying, I'm your biggest fan.
But really, only one person can be my biggest fan.
And I want to find out who that is.
So I sent my writer, Adam, to meet
some of the people who have claimed to be my biggest fan.
And here's what happened.
We're going to talk to Pat Johnson.
She wrote this letter to Ellen.
I love Ellen.
She is the nicest, funniest person I know.
Apparently, she knows Ellen already.
It would make my day if I could attend her show
and play a game.
You don't even have to give me a gift.
Just to see her would be enough.
I'm her biggest fan.
So let's go see if she's really Ellen's biggest fan.
Hi, are you Pat?
Yes, I am.
Do you know who I am?
You're from Ellen.
Yes.
So Pat, I see you're wearing an Ellen shirt.
Are you also wearing Ellen underwear?
Oh my gosh.
You have Ellen underwear just strewn around her house.
A Ellen shower cap.
That's not how you use it.
You use Ellen underwear as a shower cap?
Those are from her first season when
she started selling underwear.
You saved her underwear from the first season?
That's 16 years ago.
Yes.
You've saved the Ellen underwear.
Yeah.
That is a true fan right there.
Now I'm going to ask you some questions to see
how much you know about Ellen.
OK.
Name three of Ellen's staff members.
Andy, Cinnabuns, you.
Who is Cinnabuns?
She's the one that does the What's in Your Pocket?
Oh my gosh.
You mean the character from What's in the Box?
Yes.
Cinnabuns.
All right, so this letter is from Jeff.
He wrote to enter Ellen's Road to Riches contest.
And he wrote, I am Ellen's biggest fan.
And I love playing slots.
I've been watching for years and Ellen is always
a bright spot in my day.
Hi, are you Jeff?
Yeah, I'm Jeff.
Hi.
Do you know who I am?
I don't know.
You don't?
All right, it's not him.
See you guys.
See you later, Jeff.
So here's the thing, anyone who is Ellen's biggest fan,
I've been on the show a few times,
they would know who I am.
Hi, are you Terry?
You're from the Ellen show?
Yes, you got it right.
She knows.
Hi, are you Alexandra?
Well, we're here.
We'll go talk to Jeff.
[INAUDIBLE]
OK, wait.
Hold on.
I just have one question.
Now, when I walked In your home, you
say that you're Ellen's biggest fan.
Yeah.
I see a picture of Bill Murray on the wall.
Why do you have a picture of Bill Murray?
Because he's hilarious too.
Yes.
But I don't see any pictures of Ellen.
You said that you watch Ellen every day
and that you're her biggest fan.
I am.
I have a flat Ellen.
A flat Ellen?
Yes, do you want to see it?
Can you go get it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, let me see.
I take it everywhere I go.
I have pictures of flat Ellen with me in Las Vegas.
Oh my gosh.
And sprinkles cupcakes.
So name three guests who have been on Ellen's show.
Blake Shelton, Ariana Grande, Cher.
Good.
Bing.
Awesome.
Who are your favorite guests that have been on Ellen.
Yeah, I love Blake Shelton, but everybody loves--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Everybody loves Blake Shelton.
Yes.
Blake Shelton, Michelle Obama, President Obama.
And so far, every person we've asked this question to
has named Blake Shelton.
So he is a--
Yeah.
I see, you like some Blake Shelton.
You like some Blake Shelton.
Yes.
What's your name, by the way?
Layla.
You guys can work together on this one.
Layla, where did Ellen go to college?
New Orleans.
She did go to school in New Orleans.
Did she finished college?
No.
No, exactly.
So see, you don't have to go to college
to grow up and be a big star.
You always remember that, right?
What is this?
Oh, it's the butt thing.
It is.
It's a butt thing.
Yeah.
It's called the Shiny Hiney.
So now you said it would be a thrill to win something.
Yes.
So this is yours.
You can get that.
I'll give it to my boyfriend.
He needs it.
Oh, that's way too much information for our show.
Can I tell you why I love Ellen?
Yes, I would love to hear it.
Tell me what you love about Ellen.
Because she's so courageous how she came out on Oprah.
She almost lost everything.
She came back.
No other show that you can just know that every day is
going to be great.
I loved her since the Ellen TV show, her stand up.
Just everything about her is positive.
She got stripped of everything and look where she is now.
She's a great example of human love.
I don't take no phone calls.
They know not to bother me when Ellen's on.
I'll watch it.
Later on when I'm bored, I'll watching it again
because she just brings me so much happiness.
And that's it.
I thought there'd be more.
I'm sorry.
I was expecting a little more, but, no, that's good.
Well, I had a dream last night--
That's good.
No, that's good.
I had a chair--
That's good.
--in her studio with my name on it.
That's good.
It's good.
Thank you.
Ellen really changed my life.
Because of her, I hand out hygiene products
to the homeless.
You're clearly very into hygiene.
You wear 16-year-old underwear on your head.
There's nothing wrong with that.
No, not at all.
How would you like to come see the show?
Yes, I would love to come--
Have you been to the show before?
Yes I have.
All right, then no.
Awe.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
