As you know, this year I'm hosting a brand new game show.
It's on NBC is called "Ellen's of Games."
[CHEERING] Thank you.
It's my first prime show since my sitcom, and it's a huge hit.
I'm so glad everyone's enjoying it.
I love it.
I love doing it, and now I need to create 14 more shows,
I can have my own network like Oprah.
That's what I'm going for.
[LAUGHTER] That's my goal.
I've had so much fun hosting the show and, unfortunately,
tonight is the final episode of "Game of Games"--
[DISAPPOINTED MOANS] let me finish, until season two,
they've picked it up.
[CHEERING] Yes.
[APPLAUSE] That's right.
They have renewed it for a second season and, to make sure
everyone watches next season, I'm going to call it "NCIS-
Game of Games" because--
[LAUGHTER] --it's misleading.
This season we gave away over a half a million dollars,
and it's really fun.
I love giving money away, especially when it's not
my own.
And one of the funniest parts, I think, of "Game of Games"
is when the contestants give the wrong answer,
because they're not just a little wrong,
they're a lot wrong.
One of the games we play is Don't Leave Me Hanging,
and we've got three of the worst answers of all time.
But you know how when something is so bad it's good?
This isn't that.
[LAUGHTER] Watch.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

African countries--
That is correct.
There's a lot of them.
Africa.
[LAUGHTER]
[SCREAMING]
No, no.
No.
No, no,no.
Like, South Africa, but Africa is a continent, so--
Oh, that's what I meant.
Yeah, I know you meant that.
OK, so we said goodbye to you, just for now.
So, yeah.
[SCREAMING]
[END PLAYBACK]
Now [APPLAUSE] I don't just ask easy questions
on "Game of games," mostly easy questions,
but that didn't matter when Joe was on No or Go.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
If there's 12 inches in a foot, and three feet in a yard,
how many feet do you have?
You've mentioned that there's 12 inches in a foot,
and three feet in a yard, how many inches do you have?
You have 36 inches.
Is that your final answer, Joe?
Yes
I'm going to read the question again.
It's too late anyway, but you might
want to think about this again on your way down.
If there's 12 inches in a foot, and three feet in a yard,
how many feet do you have?
You have three feet.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, good for you.
I'm so happy we didn't get to see that third foot when
you were down here.
[LAUGHTER] Joe, you have two feet, is what you have.
Two feet.
12 inches.
Joe, think.
[LAUGHTER]
Three feet in a yard.
I was thinking three feet in the yard.
You're handsome, and that's all that matters.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, thank you, Ellen.
You're a handsome man, and we will see you a little later.
[END PLAYBACK]
So-- and he's still trying to figure it out--
there was another game we played called Say What.
It's like the game of telephone, and the contestants,
they took a wrong turn right off the bat, and never looked back.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
Twitch was bouncing his biscuits at the nude beach
One more time.
Twitch was bouncing his biscuits at the nude beach.
OK.
The mouse is in the green picture.
The bounce is in the tree pitcher.
Woo!
OK.
Yeah, OK.
The mouse is in the tree picture.
The mouse is in the spring kitchen!
[CHEERING]
[END PLAYBACK]
All right.
So I invited them here today, and--
Hi, you guys.
We love you!
What?
Love you, too.
OK.
So what I loved is the excitement
and enthusiasm from the get go that you had it.
Like, got it!
And then turned around, and nothing was even close.
So confident.
You were so confident, and the screams of excitement.
It was so good.
And then, you won because you got
one word right, which is "the".
[LAUGHTER] That was in the original sentence, so
you won because the other people had zero words right.
So then you had to choose who was going to go on the No
or Go machine.
And do you regret that now?
I mean, when you look back--
Do you regret it?
No.
She was by far the best choice we could have done.
Yeah, she's the brains.
They are kind.
All right.
So you were going for $100,000, you ended up
winning on the No or Go.
You went to Hot Hands.
You would have split, as opposed to a lot of people
who were there with just a spouse,
and they would split $100,000, you
were going to split a $100,000, if you won.
And so let's see how you did with Hot Hands.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
$100,000, go.
Oh, um, oh, my goodness, I don't know!
Sorry.
This is, um Amy--
oh, my god, Tina Fey.
Um, Jimmy Fallon.
Um, this is Will Ferrel.
Um, this is, um, oh, my goodness-- oh,
my goodness, this is hard.
OK.
Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry.
OK, I'm so sorry.
Oh, my goodness, I know him, too.
I know him!
Oh, my goodness.
Um, this is-- oh, my goodness.
Aaah!
This is Amy Schumer.
This is, oh, my goodness--
I don't know.
I'm so sorry.
[END PLAYBACK]
So you kept telling me you were sorry,
but you meant to them, right?
Yes, I meant to America.
[LAUGHTER]
Yes, and then you split-- you all got $625.
[CHEERING]
It was awesome.
There you go.
That's all right.
And you know who I am.
I do know who you are.
You know who that guy is over there?
That's Twitch.
Say hi to Twitch, everybody.
Hi, Twitch!
