Hey, you know what speaking of countries, this is interesting.
You always have people from other countries
in our audience.
But today, I found out we have the most international audience
we've ever had.
We have-- that's right.
We have people from every continent here.
We have Antarctica.
Who's in the--
OK, not Antarctica.
But we do have--
we have Germany in the house.
We have Germany.
We have Italy.
We have Australia.
We have the Philippines.
We have Brazil.
We have South Africa.
We have Egypt.
We have Iowa.
We have-- so welcome everybody.
And since we have so many people from different countries,
I thought it would be a great time
to have our ever first-- this is going to be huge.
It's Ellen's audience Olympics.
All right, this is very exciting.
I've picked three people from three different countries
to compete.
Representing Malta is Ryan.
Where's Ryan?
Hi!
Hello!
How are you?
You're representing Malta, and how is it in Malta right now?
What's the temperature, and what time is it?
OK, so it's midnight actually.
It's past midnight, and the temperature
is about 13 degrees.
But of course at night, it's about six or seven degrees
at the moment.
OK, that's not Fahrenheit, is it?
No, degrees Celsius.
OK, OK, we don't know what that means.
OK, wonderful.
Well thank you so much.
All right, and also from the country of Malawi is Mavis.
Where is Mavis?
Hi, Mavis.
Hi.
What time is it there?
It's around 1:06 AM, Ellen.
Oh, wow.
That's past 12 AM, yes.
What time do you normally go to bed?
At 9:00 PM.
You must have had lots of coffee.
Thank you so much for staying up.
I appreciate it.
And then Lisa--
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Lisa from Belgium, where is Lisa?
Hi.
Hi, Lisa.
And what time is it there?
It's 12:00 AM here.
OK, and what time do you normally go to bed?
Well, I should go to bed time, but I go to bed
at like 2:00 AM I think.
Oh!
So this is nothing for you.
You'd be up anyway.
Well thank you all for staying up.
OK, so here's what you're going to do.
The three of you are going to be competing
in one of the most difficult Ellen audience Olympics.
This is the most difficult event ever.
I mean it's really our first Olympics,
but still I think it is.
And it's called bottle flipping.
So the first one to flip the bottle brings home the gold.
Second one, silver.
Third one, bronze.
I made up those rules myself.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
Lisa, and may I say that we love the sheets you make over there.
OK.
On your marks, get set, you have your bottles?
Get your bottles in your hand.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, get ready, get set.
Two of you are cheating.
In all countries, go is when you start.
All right, go.
[APPLAUSE]
[INAUDIBLE] Oh, no!
Lisa, Mavis is-- all right, keep playing for silver.
And I don't know what's happening with Lisa.
Lisa won.
Mavis?
I don't know what Mavis, she could have set that on her own.
Lisa is the winner.
Mavis is--
I did it.
All right.
That is so exciting.
You all represented your countries well some
well or than others.
We're going to put you up on the Ellen's audience Olympics
podium for your medals.
Lisa, you came in first.
All right.
So for coming in first, can you sing the first two lines
of your country's national anthem, please?
Oh, no.
We're in studio city, aren't you?
You are not in Belgium.
Oh, my God.
My country is going to hate me for this.
I totally forgot.
We don't want your country to hate.
You once you think of it, we will edit this part out.
So do you remember what it is?
No, I only know the American one.
All right, go ahead and sing that one then.
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early night.
All right, that's all we have time for.
Thank you.
If it comes to you, welcome back to, and you can sing it, OK?
Because we don't want your country
to be disappointed in you.
All right.
Thank you so much.
That was our first ever Ellen's audience Olympics.
We'll see you again in four years, and--
