Like a lot of people in the UK I really only knew Ellen from playing Dory in 'Finding Nemo'. However, when her chat show started to air here on ITV2 I decided to check it out.And it's a nice place to be for an hour. OK, some of the guests aren't that well known over here, but there are still some big names who get thunderous receptions from quite possibly the most hyped up studio audience on TV.Where US talk shows tend to fail over here is that there's a big delay between when they aired in the US and when they're shown in the UK. ITV2 seem to have fixed that problem so there's not the awkward thing of celebs promoting films that have long gone.Check it out, you'll have a fun hour.

Ellen you can say whatever you want to say about her lifestyle and all of that. You may not agree as I do not either. But still, she is still funny and when she interviews her guests on her talk show. Which has been ten years and growing strong. With no signs of slowing down hardly.Love it when she engages the guests in conversation as she is really nice and kind. And not rude. And does the best not to interrupt at all. But all in all in all. She seems really interested in their lives.Also it helps that she loves to dance and gets some of the guests in dancing with her. As to make them feel at home. Wished most talk shows and their hosts would do that.

i love Ellen she is fantastic, i try to watch the show every day at four o'clock back in the Bahamas. when I'm at work its sort of hard to view the show but i sure make up for that on off days.i think Ellen is doing an awesome job by making others smile. she is so funny and I'd love to meet her one day soon.if your sad and depressed all one has to do is turn to the Ellen show and your sure to pick up a smile or two. she is so nice and has a great personality, she is truly a blessing to the industry. i would love to attend one of her live shows. How awesome that would be. she is so great with kids. animals everything and one. she has hilarious written all over her bright face.

I find Ellen to be a combo of Bob Newhart and Jerry Seinfeld/Larry David. She has Newhart's dry, deliberately paced wit and the Seinfeld/Larry David (to me, these two are one unit) style of questioning society's everyday idiosynchrasies and playing devils advocate in a "curmudgeon" style of questioning many things that society deems proper and obligatory, like making small talk with people you can't wait to get away from...
She has no problem admitting that on most nights she is asleep by 10:00 p.m. and leads a fairly "normal" lifestyle (as much as a true celebrity can, that is). She is so NOT pretentious...She's even "invented" her own little dorky 30 second dance that she struts in front of the audience with the help of her in-house musician, not caring whether it's "hip" or not...i don't think she's capable of using profanity, so her show is about as clean cut, family fare as you'll find on a non-cable station (but NOT syrupy sweet) --- YET, she's as funny as the best of the x-rated comedians, just like Bill Cosby can be...She's also likable because she is humble and often self-deprecating; she underplays her achievements and accomplishments...And, she's extremely respectful to her guests, letting them completely finish talking before asking her next question. So many talk show hosts (Larry King being the worst offender) simply butt in mid-sentence to a guests reply and want to steal the limelight. Even Oprah would constantly butt into Dr. Phil's conversations when he originally started as a regular on her show.Go Ellen!!
