My executive producer, Andy Lassner, is not here today.
That's why we haven't heard anything fall on the ground
while I'm talking, and why there aren't
giant clouds of vape smoke behind the cameras.
I sent Andy to the red carpet for the Billboard Music Awards,
in Las Vegas.
He's there with his biggest fan, and one of my viewers.
Her name is Bridget.
Let's go live to them in Vegas, right now.
Oh hey, Andy.
Hey, Bridget.
Hi there, Ellen.
We're here on the red carpet.
Hi Ellen!
Hi!
Hi.
It's very exciting, Ellen.
A lot of stars have walked by.
You can feel the energy, you can feel Bridget's energy.
Bridget, you've been with Andy all day long.
Are you still his biggest fan?
Or is it worn off?
100% his biggest fan.
Honestly, I'm as excited to see Andy
as I am to see all these other celebrities.
Who is there that's close by that we can talk to right now?
Kane Brown, country star here, up for four.
Hi Kane!
Say hi to Ellen.
What's up, Ellen.
Hey Kane, how are you?
I'm great, how are you.
I'm great.
Ellen, he's got four awards.
Oh my god, you're nominated for four?
Yeah, four.
Congratulations.
That's great.
And you're there with your-- is that Katelyn?
Hi.
You have some very exciting news you
want to share with Ellen, and Ellen's audience?
Well, we're having a baby, that everybody already knows.
Do you want to tell them what it is?
They're going to gender reveal, right now.
We're getting a gender reveal, right now.
This is crazy.
We're getting a gender reveal right now?
We're having a baby girl.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
So it's a chill night for you?
Chill night, where he might take home four awards.
What do they call the Billboard Awards?
Just Billboard Awards?
Just the Billboard Music Awards.
Oh, my god Andy.
What are they called?
They're at the Billboard Awards.
All right, we're going to edit that out.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for stopping by.
Congratulations, to both of you.
Who's near me, Johnny?
What do we have?
Andy?
Andy, Andy.
We're in a holding pattern.
Yes, what?
Don't yell.
Yes?
I'm just saying, that wasn't great.
So let's try to do better on the next one, all right?
I just gave you a gender reveal.
But you didn't know the name of the awards,
for the Billboard Awards.
My number one fan is here.
Isn't Taylor Swift nearby?
We're trying to stall.
She was, but I don't see her right now.
But I see maybe a New Kid on the Block, but maybe not.
Oh my god, Andy.
You're not the right person that we sent.
That is not--
I thought it was one of them.
It's not.
But are people are coming, and it's exciting, Ellen.
Yay!
You can feel the energy.
And that's really all I have to say.
OK, that doesn't help to say that.
I know that you're trying, and you can feel the energy.
Andy, you're with Ciara?
That's right.
I'm here with Ciara, Bridget.
This is crazy.
She's performing "Thinking Bout You" tonight.
That's right.
You look beautiful.
What's up, Ellen.
Yes, my love?
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
And I can't believe how old--
how old is your son now?
Future is turning five in May.
Say hi to Ellen?
Hi Ellen.
Hi!
With that fabulous outfit.
You want to tell Ellen what you're wearing?
I'm wearing Versace.
Versace.
I love Versace.
Thank you so much.
Have fun tonight!
I can't wait to watch you perform.
We're going to have a good time, Ellen.
We're going to rock it out here.
I know you love dancing, so get ready for a lot of dancing
tonight.
We're going to have a good time.
Right, Future?
Yeah.
Ciara, look at Andy.
He's a great dancer.
Say, be nice to Andy, Ellen.
Be nice to Andy, Ellen.
I am.
All right, thanks Ciara.
Bye, Future!
We're going to check back in with Andy and Bridget
on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet.
Let's see.
Oh!
They've got BTS there.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Hi Ellen!
Hey guys, how are you?
How you doing?
We're great.
Good.
Look at these guys.
Ellen, I have a question.
Yes, sir.
You going to ask me the hook up question again?
If you'd like me to.
[INAUDIBLE] every Koreans know about the word,
that we were shocked at that time.
Really?
They were shocked that you knew hook up?
I don't know.
Oh my god, I'm embarrassed.
You guys are nominated for two awards tonight.
We just won the top social award.
Ellen, they've already won the top social award.
Congratulations.
And you're nominated for another one?
And then you're performing tonight with Halsey, right?
Yes.
What are you performing?
Tell them the name.
It's "Boy we Love", and going to do the dance together,
with Halsey.
Do it.
Andy.
Do it.
Is that how you do it?
Yep.
You just got it.
Andy, ask them some more questions.
So how long will you be in the States?
For a month.
We're going to be on tour just after.
Touring through the country.
After the awards.
Very exciting.
Maybe we can get Bridget tickets to one of your shows.
Come on.
You want to come to the Rose Bowl?
Oh my god, I'll go anywhere.
I'll go anywhere.
Ellen will fly her private.
All right, Andy.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Thank you.
Thanks, BTS.
I've gotten you Ciara, I've gotten you BTS,
I've gotten you a gender reveal.
Bridget and I nailed it.
Thanks, Ellen!
All right, thanks guys!
Congratulations.
Have fun tonight.
Bridget, you've been on the show with Andy.
You've been on our podcast with Andy,
now you've been on the red carpet with Andy.
I think you bring the best out of Andy,
so I want you to come back and help Andy rehearse
one of our games for this new season
of Ellen's Game of Games, OK?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Ellen!
