- LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL MOMENT
THAT HAPPENED AT THE OSCARS.
WHEN I WAS HOSTING, ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS
WAS WHEN I ORDERED PIZZA FOR THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE,
AND WE GOT THIS AMAZING GUY THAT...
[cheers and applause]
HE TURNED OUT TO BE THE COOLEST.
HE WAS OUR DELIVERY GUY.
HIS NAME IS EDGAR.
AND SINCE THEN, I'VE--
YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT
AND CONVERSATION, AND HE IS A GREAT GUY
WITH A GREAT STORY, AND I WANT TO CONTINUE
TO PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS.
SO EARLIER TODAY, I SENT OUT A TWEET
TELLING PEOPLE TO GO GET LUNCH AT BIG MAMA'S & PAPA'S,
HIS PIZZA PLACE IN HOLLYWOOD.
JEANNIE IS THERE RIGHT NOW,
AND PEOPLE SHOWED UP FOR LUNCH.
SO... HI.
[cheers and applause]
- HI, ELLEN! HOW ARE YA?
- GOOD JOB!
- OH, EDGAR, SO I GUESS--
HOW'S BUSINESS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN ON THE OSCARS?
- IT'S BEEN REALLY CRAZY,
VERY BUSY.
PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL OVER, FROM VEGAS,
TAKING PICTURES, GETTING PHOTOS WITH ME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE CALLING FROM DIFFERENT STATES TOO.
THEY ARE ASKING FOR PIZZA SHIPPING
AND STUFF LIKE THAT, SO IT'S BEEN REALLY CRAZY.
- THAT'S AMAZING.
YOU'RE LIKE A BIG CELEBRITY NOW.
HAVE CELEBRITIES CALLED IN TO ORDER PIZZA
SINCE THE OSCARS?
- NOT YET. I'M STILL WAITING--
I'M STILL WAITING FOR JULIA ROBERTS.
[laughter]
- WELL, NOW THAT YOU'VE ASKED,
SHE PROBABLY WILL CALL.
I'LL MAKE SURE SHE CALLS,
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS A GREAT MOMENT FOR YOU,
TO SERVE PIZZA TO JULIA,
'CAUSE SHE WAS KIND OF YOUR MOVIE STAR FANTASY, RIGHT?
- YES, YES, SHE WAS.
- ALL RIGHT.
AND I HEARD THAT YOU NAMED A PIZZA AFTER ME.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PIZZA?
- ELLEN'S PIZZA.
- ELLEN'S PIZZA?
- YEAH.
- THAT'S A GOOD NAME.
I LIKE IT.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK OF QUICKSILVER, BUT...
ANYWAY, SO DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH PIZZA YOU SELL THERE,
I ASSUME WE'LL BE SPLITTING THE PROFITS 50/50.
- UH, SURE. NO PROBLEM.
I'LL SHARE WITH YOU.
- I'M KIDDING.
I'M GONNA TAKE 70%.
[laughter]
- OKAY.
- EDGAR...
- AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.
- NO, NO, NO. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE SO FANTASTIC.
EDGAR SENT ME THE SWEETEST EMAIL
AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED ON THE OSCARS.
HE'S A GREAT GUY.
SO HERE'S WHAT I WANT EVERYBODY TO DO.
FIRST OF ALL, GO TO BIG MAMA'S & PAPA'S PIZZA
AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN.
IF YOU'RE FROM OUT OF TOWN, GO VISIT IT.
AND SO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP THERE,
HERE'S YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
I WANT YOU TO COME UP WITH A JINGLE
FOR BIG MAMA'S & PAPA'S PIZZA.
YOU BE CREATIVE AS YOU CAN,
AND THE BEST JINGLE
IS GONNA GET A $5,000 VISA GIFT CARD.
[cheers and applause]
- THAT'S CRAZY!
- OKAY, ELLEN, OKAY.
ALL RIGHT!

AND YOU WILL PERFORM THEM LATER IN THE SHOW.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY.
