- Susan Bonner is a fan of ours.
Uh, she lives in Long Island, and she's been trying
to get tickets to the show for years
but can not afford the trip to California,
so when she found out we were gonna be in New York,
she applied for tickets online every single day.
Unfortunately, she wasn't selected,
and she doesn't know this, but I'm gonna Skype with her
right now.
[audience swoons]
And so, when I say "go" I am gonna pop up
on her computer screen.
[audience laughter]
Ready, all right, go.
- Ooh. - Hi.
- Oh, my God!
[audience laughter]
Ellen's on the TV-- [muted screaming]
I can't believe it!
- Hi, Susan, hi. - Oh, my God!
- How you doing? What's happening?
- I'm so freaking out. I can't believe it!
- I know. - I can't believe
you're on my TV with me! - I am--
- With me! - Hi.
- Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
- Susan--
[audience laughter]
- Oh, my God, Ellen, I can't believe I'm on TV with you.
- I--you are. You're on TV with me--
- How are you? - I'm good.
How are you? - I'm so excited.
[audience laughter]
- Never would have guessed that.
- I can't believe you didn't tell me.
Oh, my God. - How--So--
- I love you. I love you. I love you.
- They--I love you too. Uh, and I hear you're--
- You don't know me yet, but you will love me.
- Okay. - Okay.
- No I do, just by all this, I love you.
- Yes, I know. You will.
- Okay-- - I'll sit, no, I'll stand.
- Okay. - I can't sit.
- You can do whatever-- - I'm so excited.
- Yeah, the--I'm excited too.
You're my biggest east coast fan, I'm told.
- I am your biggest east coast fan
ever for 13 years.
[audience laughter]
- So, if you're a big fan, I don't know why
you weren't at one of my New York shows.
I'm telling you, I wanted to stalk the city,
but I didn't know where you were gonna be,
or I would have been outside.
- Yeah. - I wrote in.
Oh, my God. I wrote in, and I kept saying--
every day I would stand by my front door saying,
"Ellen's coming today, kids. Ellen's coming today."
And they said, "Ellen's not coming."
I'm like, "Yeah, she is. Yes, she is."
And guess what? - Here I am.
- No Ellen. - Oh.
- So I cried. I was so disappointed,
but it's okay. I can't be mad at you
'cause I love you. It's okay.
It's okay. - Yeah.
- It's all good. - But see, you're patient--
- This is better!
[audience laughter]
- I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be rude.
- You're not. You're just--you're talking...
- Okay. - And that's fine.
- Listen, so, so I heard you couldn't--
- Oh, my God!
[laughter]
- I can't believe I'm on The Ellen Show.
This is so cool. - I know, it's very cool.
So you couldn't make the trip to California.
How come?
- Well, every time something came up.
I have kids in college. I had, um, surgery on my face.
I just couldn't come. Every time I would try
and think of it, something came up.
- Right. So, would--wouldn't it be--
- And I couldn't go. - So wouldn't it be great
if I could give you a ticket right now to come out here?
- [screaming]
- I'm not say-- - It would be, it would be.
- I'm not saying I can. - I'm not saying that you are.
Okay. - I'm not saying I can.
What I do is I'll send and email request to Claudia.
She's in our audience department,
and I'll see if there's some dates available.
We're pretty booked, but I'll see if there's any time
and if it works out with your schedule,
then you'll--I'll email you and then you'll email me back.
And then you'll get tickets. - Oh, that's perfect!
That's perfect. - Okay.
Susan, I'm k-- - Anytime. I'll go anytime.
- Susan, I'm--I'm kidding. - Yes?
- You're getting on a plane this weekend
and you're coming out to the show next week.
[cheers and applause]
- I'm going to see Ellen, everybody!
- Okay. - [excited mumbling]
- I'll see you-- - I can't believe--
- I'll see you next week, Susan. I can't wait.
Take-- - Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
- Yeah, take some Xanax.
[audience laughter]
- Bye, Ellen, I love you. I love you.
- Yeah. - You're the best!
You are so cool.
- No coffee.
No coffee for you.
- I lost your ear--I lost your ear--it got caught.
- Okay-- - I'm so excited.
- Okay.
- I'll make you the best vegan brownies ever.
- Okay, well, I-- I'll see you soon.
We'll be right back. - I love you.
