Thank you so much.
Have a seat.
It's to see all the smiling faces of my virtual audience,
and then it's nice to imagine the smiling
faces under the masks of my people in my audience.
[LAUGHTER]
I think you're smiling.
There's a big advantage to being in my studio audience.
You get to smell the pumpkin spice that I
have pumping through the vents.
And the advantage of being at home
is that you can show me things around your house.
And the two of you are going to do that,
right now, because it's time to play Drawer Dash.
[JAZZY MUSIC]
All right.
Let us meet our contestants, and they are Cassie and Jackie.
Hi.
[APPLAUSE]
Hi, Ellen!
All right, here's how it works.
I am going to name an object, you have to bring it to me.
The first one to get back gets a point.
Today, I want to give the audience a chance
to win a prize.
The prize is a Nextbase dash cam, and a $100 Best
Buy gift card.
OK?
[APPLAUSE]
Nextbase is the leader in cams, because it protects you
in all road conditions, it has 4K HD video, emergency SOS
alerts, and voice-controlled Alexa built in.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that I only have enough for half the audience,
so we're going to split you down the middle.
Alrighty, then.
Cassie you're playing for this side.
Cassie is playing for this side, Jackie
is playing for this side.
All right?
All right.
When you have the object, I want you to yell, "Ellen, Ellen,
looky here."
If you don't say it, you lose a point.
You have to yell, "Ellen, Ellen, looky here."
OK?
Get ready.
Here's the first--
Something that begins with the letter K. Go.
[QUICK-PACED MUSIC]
Cassie's back.
Keys!
[APPLAUSE]
Oh.
Darn it, Jackie.
She came back with keys faster than you came back
with Kleenex.
That's one point for Cassie.
Ready?
Something borrowed.
Borrowed.
Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed.
[QUICK-PACED MUSIC]
Cassie's back!
Ellen, Ellen, lookie here.
[APPLAUSE]
I'm very confused, Cassie.
Did you borrow Parmesan cheese?
Yes, from my mom.
When did you borrow it?
How long ago?
A week ago.
I'm supposed to make ziti for her.
OK.
And, Jackie, what did you get?
A drawstring bag.
You borrowed that?
Yeah, it's from my sister.
I'm never giving it back.
All right.
Cassie, that's two.
All right.
I'm terrible!
I'm sorry.
Jackie, you're letting your side of the audience down.
Yeah, I am.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Run faster.
We still have a chance.
Ready?
Something you can eat.
Go.
[QUICK-PACED MUSIC]
Ellen, Ellen, lookie here.
[BELL DINGING]
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
Here's what I'll say to you, Cassie.
The entire side of the audience was
like, "You had Parmesan in your hand,
and you could have held that up."
I looked at everybody, going, "Why is she running anywhere?"
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
Jackie, you came back with an apple with a sticker
still on it.
Always peel those stickers off.
All right.
Jackie, you have a point for the apple,
and one point for leaving the sticker on,
but I'll give you the point.
[BELL DINGING]
Thank you.
Here we go.
Ready?
Come on, Jackie.
You have to catch up.
Something you can clean with.
Go.
[QUICK-PACED MUSIC]
Ellen, Ellen, lookie here.
Oh no.
Either Jackie has a bigger house, or she's just slower.
I'm just slower.
All right.
Cassie, that's three points for you.
Cassie got that one.
All right.
Here we go.
One more.
I don't know that you're going to catch up, though,
but we're going to try.
Something with my name on it.
[QUICK-PACED MUSIC]
Ellen, Ellen, lookie here.
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
Oh no.
What happened, Jackie?
You came down--
Too far.
You went all the way upstairs, and then just gave up?
I gave up.
All right.
This side of the audience, you're
getting a Nextbase dash cam, and a $100 Best Buy gift card.
All right.
And you know what, Jackie?
This whole side of the audience is so sad right now,
but I'm going to make it up to them, because you're also
getting a $100 Best Buy gift card and a Nextbase dash cam.
Congratulations.
