My staff is constantly talking about how observant I am.
And so here's what they did to me today.
All right, just hand it to me.
So they said at some point while I'm talking,
I'm going to get an envelope with instructions in it.
And, thank you Esteban.
That's not his name.
I'm observant enough to know that's not his name.
What is it?
It's Pete, right?
Yeah.
All right.
Says Dear Ellen, We thought we'd play a game with you today.
Somewhere hidden in the audience is a celebrity that you know.
The only catch is we hired an award winning makeup artist
and disguised them.
You have 15 seconds to find this celebrity.
But you can't move from where you're standing.
Ready.
Go.
[RATTLING TIMER]
[LOUD BUZZER]
Are you pointing to that man right there with the pipe?
No, that is one of my producers.
And I noticed him right away.
It-- it threw me off at first to see,
not only-- not only him but my writer Jason who's in a dress.
Hi.
All right.
All right, the audience, I'm just being told,
do not help me if you think you know who it is.
The audience cannot help me.
They're playing a game with me.
I see another writer who is Allison
who is in a wig and glasses.
So they're trying to throw me off.
Because when I first walked out here, OK.
So now, now, OK, turn the page it says.
I'm going to have more time, right?
I can look-- your observational skills
have-- if you haven't observed the hidden celebrity,
you can go up into the audience, get a closer look.
You have one minute.
Then you will have hints on other pages.
OK, I have one minute now.
[RATTLING TIMER]
All right, ah.
[RATTLING TIMER]
Why are you all holding hands?
[RATTLING TIMER]
Sorry, I wanted to see if that was a wig.
[RATTLING TIMER]
Jennifer Aniston, no.
[RATTLING TIMER GOING FASTER]
This noise is very aggravating.
[RATTLING TIMER]
Are you with that man?
Yes.
Do you know him?
Yes.
[RATTLING TIMER]
Four, three, two, one.
[LOUD BUZZER]
OK.
All right.
Um, here's a hint.
He did not play a character in Finding Dory.
That is not a hint.
He's part of an Emmy award winning family.
Emmy award winning family.
That's, like, I'm thinking Modern Family?
Yeah.
Is that what I'm thinking?
[CROWD CHEERING]
I'll walk around more.
Well, we know it's-- it's a man.
We know that.
OK.
Why are you all holding hands?
We're excited.
We love you.
OK, good.
But, like, are you one person somehow pretending to be--
well it's Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
So now I-- I know that.
You did-- wh-- you're not saying-- you came with him?
Yeah.
No, you didn't.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Hi.
I do not speak the English.
Oh, no?
No.
Ah--
Hi.
I-- I did not think that you--
Things have really gone down hill since I last saw you.
Yeah.
Wow.
All right, so, I'm told there's like a transformation we
can watch.
How long did it-- well, we'll watch.
I've been here for three days.
All right.
Walk down here, and then we'll watch this.
Bye Debbie.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
That's sneaky music because I'm about to get into a disguise
to surprise Ellen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah, I think I kind of like it.
Yeah.
I think I might get a nose job after this.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Sing.
The fact that this guy bought a single ticket to come
see Ellen, I think should be of great concern to everyone.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Dealing with this extra weight that I've just
put on very quickly.
I'm not hating it.
It's a no pain muffin top.
Ellen, best of luck finding me.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Sing.
That's so funny.
[CROWD CHEERING]
All right.
The foot is under there.
What is happening under here?
I just have my no show socks.
Ah ha.
I want a pantsuit.
Uh-huh.
All right, I really did, I--
when I asked if she came with you,
I didn't want to be insulting.
I thought you looked a little strange.
And I thought ah--
I just--
That's Debbie and she's just a friend.
Uh-huh.
Hi Debbie.
All right, so go get cleaned up.
All right.
I guess you're going to come back later on.
I'll be back.
All right.
I'll see you later.
