The iconic Doris Roberts made a memorable appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show recently, and fans were thrilled to see the four-time Emmy Award winner on the chat show. The episode started with Ellen warmly welcoming Doris, and the energy in the room was palpable.
As they got comfortable, Ellen couldn’t help but mention their last encounter at the Emmy Awards. Doris had won that night, and Ellen fondly recalled how she found her amidst the darkness, looking for actress Edie Falco.

Ellen graciously thanked Doris for being on the show, jokingly adding that she had almost invited her as Edie Falco to ensure she would come. Doris, still beaming from her Emmy win, was clearly excited that the night had been so eventful.
The conversation then shifted to Matthew Perry, and Doris couldn’t help but blush and smile. Ellen playfully asked if Doris was still thinking about him, to which she replied with a nod. Doris even sent him candy! Unfortunately, she hadn’t heard from him since, indicating it may have been a passionate but brief encounter.
Before long, the talk show host steered the conversation towards Doris’ upcoming project. She shared details about her new movie, “A Time To Remember,” which would air on the Hallmark Channel on November 23rd. Doris plays a wealthy matriarch in the movie who is dealing with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.

She also emphasized the movie’s central theme of family and how we should let go of petty grievances and negative emotions. It’s about communication, love, and appreciating the one family we have.
The discussion took a celebratory turn when Ellen mentioned that it was Doris’ birthday the day before. The audience erupted into applause as Ellen presented a small cake with four candles, jokingly noting that there should be 73. Doris blew out the candles and made a wish, feeling grateful for the gesture.
