Something else I learned about last week
is a website called Cameo.
Have you heard about this?
You can pay celebrities to record short videos.
There's a bunch of different celebrities on there.
And the denominations vary depending on the celebrity.
And I thought well, I'm a big celebrity.
And I love making money, so here's what I'm going to do.
Starting today, you will be able to go on to Cameo
and get a personalized video from-- drum roll, please.
Drum roll.
Oh, try to do it--
[LAUGHTER]
Try to do it together and then stop at the same time.
OK, y'all ready?
Here we go.
Oh, good.
[LAUGHTER]
Starting today you'll be able to get a cameo from my producer
Andy.
[CHEERING]
Andy, thank you so much for suggesting this.
It's a great idea.
This didn't come from me, Ellen.
It didn't?
No, it came from you.
Well, anyway, it doesn't matter who it came from.
So at $4, you're the cheapest celebrity on Cameo.
[LAUGHTER]
Because we didn't know what we'd get.
We tweeted this out today, and we've already
gotten over 50 requests.
So once this airs, you can imagine--
Andy come over here, and we're going to record some right now.
This is-- we got some--
[APPLAUSE]
Take that off.
What?
I don't know if people want this on your head or not.
I mean, take it off.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
All right, this is from Jay.
He says hi, Andy.
This is from my father.
Just say something nice about being a fellow middle aged
Jewish father.
[LAUGHTER]
OK, so you're going to look into that camera.
What's his name?
Jay?
Yeah, it's for his father.
Oh--
Just say--
Hi, Jay's father.
Wait start--
What?
I was talking.
OK.
Be professional about this.
Hi, Jay's father.
I'm also a Jew.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm middle aged.
And I wake up in a little bit of pain every day.
And I say shalom alaichem.
Gesundheit.
[APPLAUSE]
All right, here's another one we got from Diane.
I'm a huge Justin Timberlake fan and would love for Andy
to sing me a Justin Timberlake song to brighten my day.
Do you know any of his songs?
Even--
Why is this happening?
[LAUGHTER]
It's for money.
Diane, you said?
I just said it a second ago.
Well, I mean, I'm in a panic inside.
Hi, Diane.
(SINGING) I'm bringing sexy back.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Dirty baby, going to [INAUDIBLE] misbehave.
[INAUDIBLE] I feel this way.
That's all I got.
That's great.
Thanks.
All right, we have, I think, one more.
Please stop.
This is from-- no.
This is from Eric.
OK, Eric.
He said please say--
all right, you have to read what's on the card.
All right, so read what's on the card.
This is for Eric.
I don't have a card.
I'm giving it to you.
Hey, Eric.
I'm--
Wait.
All right.
Now?
Hey, Eric.
OK.
Hey, Eric.
Eric, when you get home from work,
Kimberly wants your giant eggplant Parmesan.
And for dessert, Kimberly's got a juicy peach for you.
Seriously, that's what's for dinner, Eric.
All right, that's great.
OK, since this is going to a good cause
and you seem to be in demand, I'm
going to raise your price because I
think this is going to go well.
So we're no longer at $4, everybody.
It's 4.50.
[LAUGHTER]
No, that's not-- no, I'm not--
I'm kidding.
No, that's undervaluing you.
You're average, but you're worth more than that.
So I'm going to raise the price to $30.
The most expensive person on there is $1,000.
So I think $30 is fair to get a message from Andy.
And all the money will go to the Ellen Fund
to help save the mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
So it goes to--
you get nothing.
[APPLAUSE]
It seems fair.
Yeah, it does, right?
[INAUDIBLE]
Yeah, it is.
It's a good cause.
So if you'd like a video from Andy, go on Cameo
and he can sing happy birthday to your cousin.
He can wish you a happy anniversary.
You could try to make him say balls or shuttlecock.
[LAUGHTER]
He'll do pretty much anything.
So--
OK.
You can go sit down.
OK, thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
[APPLAUSE]
