Earlier this month, we kicked off our 17th season.
And we've already had so many amazing moments.
If only there was a way to show you some of the highlights.
Oh wait!
There is.
This is our first show of our 17th season!
[CHEERING]
I'm sorry.
I'm kind of distracted right now.
I just-- I just--
[CHEERING]
Hey Ellen.
Hi.
Brad, what are you doing?
Don't mind me.
Just came to see the show.
Great show, by the way so far.
You're killing it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You want to come sit down here?
No, I'm good.
[LAUGHTER]
I went wig shopping and I brought my writer Lauren.
Natural?
Yeah.
Do you like it?
I really do.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, you fooled me once, you're
not going to fool me again.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on you for fooling me and shame on you.
Shame on you.
Start to fall asleep.
Fall down.
On the ground.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Are you OK?
Let's see your backhand.
You made a big mistake there.
I know.
Oh wait!
Wait!
I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to do this, huh?
Oh no.
We're not using that.
You want to come sit with me?
Come here.
Come sit with me.
Hi.
Over 100 million people have watched this adorable video.
They're about to see each other for the first time today.
How are you both doing, kids?
This has been viewed so many times because this
is what the world needs right now,
is to see people treat each other like this.
I think that's why everybody--
[APPLAUSE] A few weeks ago, we announced
that Kylie would be giving away a million dollars to someone
on our premiere week.
We are giving each of you $50,000.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Each of you.
No!
For the amazing things you guys do.
I'm so glad to be here.
It's an honor to be here.
You're the gold standard on television
and honestly it's just so nice to be on your show.
Thank you.
Last week, this video of two high school students surprising
a classmate who was getting bullied
for wearing the same thing to school every day went viral.
Please welcome Christopher, Antoine, and Michael.
All of a sudden, these two guys that you don't know
walk up and decide to give you brand new clothes.
It was the best day of my life because I was bullied.
Yeah.
I was bullied my entire life.
Yeah.
A lot of celebrities looked at this and said, this is amazing.
We want to reward these guys.
Will Smith, come on out.
[CHEERING]
I saw the video.
What you did felt small to you.
But I promise you that is exactly how human beings are
supposed to interact with one another.
[APPLAUSE]
It's just a pleasure to be here.
I say it all the time.
It's the best job I've ever had and I'm
going to keep doing it for as long as I can because I love
being here with all of you and because I've got to save up
enough money to buy Greenland.
[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]
We'll be back.
