The Ellen Degeneres Show has been known for its entertaining and lively episodes, and the final Halloween episode was no exception. Host Ellen Degeneres appeared in a futuristic costume, giving the audience a glimpse of what she may look like in the near future. Riding on a tricked-out jazzy, Ellen showcased her Halloween set, complete with giant pumpkins. But this year, she decided to forego her usual fake boobs, joking that the costume department couldn't get them to stay on her knees.
The Halloween set also featured a Riff Raff room, displaying past costumes from previous years. As the show began, Ellen mentioned that it was their last season, adding to the excitement of the Halloween festivities.
To make the episode even more memorable, Ellen introduced a segment called "Strong Opinions with Matt," where she invited her producer, Matt, to share his love for Halloween. Matt, who described Halloween as a gay High holiday, discussed his love for Halloween costumes and revealed his disdain for group costumes, which always seem to go awry. The segment brought a lighthearted and humorous tone to the episode.
The first guest of the night was none other than Kris Jenner, known for her extravagant Halloween costumes. Dressed as Cruella de Vil, Kris revealed that Halloween is a favorite tradition for her and her family. She reminisced about previous themes they had dressed up as, including the Brady Bunch, and shared stories of her daughter Kim Kardashian's Halloween adventures. Kris also announced the exciting news that her daughter Courtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were engaged, adding to the family's joy.
The episode also featured a guest appearance from Kim herself, who spoke about her recent experience hosting Saturday Night Live. Kris expressed her pride in Kim's performance and mentioned that all the jokes she told were run by the entire family beforehand. They discussed how being in on the joke and not taking themselves too seriously helped them enjoy the experience.
During the show, Ellen introduced a game called "Bucket of Dreams or Bucket of Screams," where audience members had to answer trivia questions for a chance to win $5,000. The catch was that they had to stick their heads in buckets and press a button. Some of the buckets contained slime, while others had confetti. The game added a fun and suspenseful element to the episode.
As the episode came to a close, Ellen sent her executive producer Andy Lassner and Kim Kardashian to a haunted house at Universal Studios Halloween Nights. The segment showcased their reactions to various scare tactics, with Andy relying on Kim as a shield throughout the experience.
Overall, the final Halloween episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show was full of excitement, laughter, and surprises. It was a fitting tribute to the show's tradition of hosting entertaining and memorable Halloween episodes. Fans can look forward to more unforgettable moments as the show wraps up its last season.
