Well, like I said earlier, I couldn't
wait to do my show in front of a live audience again.
So I didn't.
The other day I went around Burbank with tWitch and Andy.
And we did a show for just about anybody that we could find.
Here's what happened.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Drive that knee up.
Core engage.
Good.
Let's switch our sides.
Here we go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Here she is now, Ellen DeGeneres.
[APPLAUSE]
Hey, everybody.
Hey.
Hey, Burbank.
Boy, it looks like y'all ladies have been working out.
Yeah.
Actually, all summer long, I have
been working out like crazy.
I have a trainer, and I have been running,
and I have been rolling over, and I have been sitting.
And--
[LAUGHTER]
--now that I think about it, I think she's a dog trainer.
But I--
[LAUGHTER]
--I like the treat.
So I keep her.
[LAUGHTER]
That's funny, Ellen.
This is going to be tricky.
I want everyone to have water.
You want to stay hydrated.
That is very, very important.
But jumping jacks while drinking water.
All right.
All right, that's the way to do it.
Now everybody, give it up for the man
who puts booty in boot camp.
This is tWitch, everybody.
[APPLAUSE]
Follow me.
Let's go.
[MUSIC - KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND, "I WANNA PUT ON MY BOOGIE
SHOES"]
(SINGING) I wanna put on
I love it.
(SINGING) My, my, my, my boogie shoes.
(SINGING) Shoes.
Oh!
[LAUGHTER]
(SINGING) I wanna put on--
Let's go with a little grapevine action.
Let's go.
(SINGING) --my, my my, my boogie shoes.
This one fell in right here.
That's it.
How's your podium doing?
(SINGING) My, my, my, my boogie shoes.
[APPLAUSE]
You know what?
We always like to have kids on the show.
So I'm going to get a kid expert.
She's probably an expert at something.
Hi, what's your name?
Eloise.
Eloise?
Yeah.
That's a wonderful name.
My name is Ellen.
It's very close to Eloise.
Yeah, that will work.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
It's just a hat.
Come on.
[APPLAUSE]
Have a sit, Eloise.
Hi.
What are you an expert at?
What do you-- what do you know a lot about?
Dancing.
What do you know about dancing?
A lot.
Sounds like it.
I know how to twirl.
You know how to twirl.
Let's see it.
Let's see a twirl.
[APPLAUSE]
That's a good twirl.
That is wonderful.
And when-- what age did you start twirling?
Three years old.
And how often do you twirl?
A lot.
Like every day?
Yeah.
Four times a day?
Yeah.
It's been lovely talking to you.
It was really nice talking to you, Eloise.
[APPLAUSE]
Guess what we're going to do?
Does she want to dance with tWitch?
Probably yes.
Thanks.
I'll just finish the sentence.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, it's a cardboard.
Now, we're going to surprise a fan.
And give them a chance to win tickets to the premiere show.
[HONKING]
What?
Oh, my God.
It's Andy and tWitch.
Oh, my God.
Ellen.
Get out.
Wait, wait.
What side are we getting out?
Yeah, it's a bit-- oh, hi.
I can't believe this.
Oh, my God.
Hi.
I want you to explain why we're here.
Because what amazing event was happening when
you gave birth to Isabella?
It was the premiere episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
And I missed it.
You missed the premiere in 2003?
Yes.
We're the same age?
Yeah.
Well, we're not the same age.
But I've been doing the show the same amount of time
as you've been alive.
Yeah.
So we want to give you a chance to win tickets
to the premiere show of my final season.
Oh, my God.
Yes, it is time to play the hardest
game on daytime television, Holy Roller.
Diana you take the first ball.
Oh.
So close.
Close.
Yeah, that's the problem.
Oh, my God.
Thank you, Ellen.
Yeah, that'd to do it.
I don't know why I didn't think to do this before.
The foliage, yeah.
That'll do OK.
Ellen, I think-- yeah.
OK, I just was getting carried away.
OK, Isabella, it's your turn.
You can do it.
Do it, Bella.
Oh.
That's all right.
You know what?
Andy, it's the special one.
The Andy ball.
Here I come.
I think you need to--
if you can get Andy through the hole.
What do they have to do?
Ready?
Yeah.
Go.
[APPLAUSE]
I think that's as good as it gets.
Give them the tickets.
I'm begging you.
I think you're coming to our premier show.
[SCREAMING]
Ellen, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I feel the love in the neighborhood.
I give it back to you.
Go out and spread it around the neighborhood.
Hi, everybody.
That was fun.
Yeah, it was fun.
It was so fun.
That was a lot of fun.
Yeah, we should do that more often.
I don't know--
We should.
--even when I stopped--
when I stopped working--
Wait.
[APPLAUSE]
Diana and Isabella are in the audience today.
[APPLAUSE]
We'll be back.
