I love watching my audience dance before the show.
One of my greatest joys really in life, that and flossing.
And I don't mean the dance, the floss,
I mean don't neglect your gums everybody.
It's very important to floss.
There are great dancers in my audience
and then there are always people who
think they're great dancers.
[LAUGHTER]
You never know what you're going to get,
and this gave me an idea.
It's a brand new game we're calling
"Do You Think They Can Dance."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
What's going to happen, there's Andy up there
with his broken arm and he is going to bring an audience
member into the aisle. tWitch and I
are going to guess whether or not we think they can dance.
If I guess right, I win.
If tWitch guesses right, he gets to keep his job.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
Andy, find somebody.
Oh, wow.
Ellen, I am here with--
Pablo.
[LAUGHTER]
Hi, Pablo.
How are you?
Great.
How are you?
Good.
I'm good.
Thank you for asking.
Where do you live?
What do you do?
I live in Santa Barbara.
I'm a college student.
What are you studying?
Psychology.
All right.
By the body language it doesn't seem like you're raring to go.
I agree.
That's my guess.
A little shy.
You seem like quiet.
Shy.
Maybe that you don't--
You study a lot, so maybe you're not in a club partying.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm going to say that you can't dance.
That's not to say you're not a great person.
What do you think?
You know what?
I'm holding out for the surprise, because it's like,
you know, sometimes we give that person who is like super shy
and then the music comes on and they like,
oh I thought you weren't going to put that on.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Like that.
I'm kind of getting that vibe from him.
All right.
Maybe he hadn't partied in a while and this is it.
Yeah.
Well at the end of the party you can't
tell if someone's a good dancer because everyone's drunk.
You right.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
Pablo, we're going to give you some music.
You prove one of us right.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
Pablo played me.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
You win nothing at all.
Sit down.
That was amazing, Pablo.
That was really good.
Yeah.
All Right.
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah.
Now I know when someone just like standing there like that.
Yeah.
I know right?
Yeah.
All right.
Oh.
Don't try to play like that lady.
[LAUGHTER]
He tried to do that and we don't know.
What's your name?
Where do you live?
My name is Paula [INAUDIBLE].
I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.
OK.
[APPLAUSE]
Honolulu.
All right.
tWitch, what do you think about Paula?
Uh.
It's hard to gauge.
I don't know.
I just-- I don't know.
I'm open to being surprised, but I don't know about Paula.
Wow, tWitch is not really impressed by the fact
that I think you can dance.
I really do.
I think that you live in Hawaii.
And I think that you probably-- there's a lot of luaus.
[LAUGHTER]
And you look like you're comfortable,
and I think you like to move a lot.
I'm going to say you can dance, Paula.
Let's give you some music.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
Yes!
Wow, Paula.
Woo!
Come on, Paula.
[APPLAUSE]
I knew it.
Wow.
Paula, you showed him.
I know.
Yeah.
I'd never doubt again.
Hawaii, stand up.
Yep.
Wow.
That was great, Paula.
Thank you so much.
All right.
[APPLAUSE]
OK.
All right.
Look at you.
Hi.
What's your name?
Danielle Jorgensen.
Danielle, where do you live?
What do you do?
I live in Bakersfield, and I'm a hygienist,
and I am a stay at home mom.
All right.
How many kids?
I have three.
She must be a good dancer because she's
got three kids like--
Yeah.
--that's what gets you the kids.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, yeah.
The track record has been pretty great.
We've been two for two right now so I'm
feeling pretty good right now.
I just feel like she's a dental hygienist.
That's not great music in a dentist's office.
No.
They don't play great music in dentist's office usually,
but I just feel like you get home and probably crank it up.
Yes.
Right.
Yeah.
I think--
I feel good.
I think she can dance.
We both are believers.
Yeah.
Yes.
Show us what you got.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
I think those kids have kept you at home too long.
I think that, unfortunately--
it was a great effort.
Yeah.
Wonderful effort.
Really good posing.
You know the rugs are filthy, right?
I know I can't slide on them.
All right.
Well that's it.
You win nothing also.
But thank you for trying.
That's how you play "Do You Think They Can Dance."
