During a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, the beloved talk show host took some time to answer questions from her audience, in a segment she likes to call Talking with the Audience. Ellen invited the audience to ask her anything they wanted, and the questions ranged from her favorite place to visit to her thoughts on meeting handsome gentlemen like Tom Cruise.
One audience member, hailing from Belchertown, Massachusetts, asked Ellen where her favorite place to visit might be. Much to the amusement of the audience, Ellen jokingly pretended to have already answered the question before it was even asked. She expressed her love for Massachusetts, calling it a beautiful place. She also revealed her fondness for Canada, particularly Vancouver and Toronto. However, Ellen admitted that she hasn’t traveled much and expressed her desire to explore different parts of the world, mentioning her interest in visiting countries like South Africa.
Another audience member, named Kim, inquired about Ellen’s reaction when meeting handsome men like Tom Cruise. Ellen replied playfully, saying that she tries to focus on the job and doesn’t get butterflies right away. She humorously added that she technically gets caterpillars first before they turn into butterflies, drawing laughter from the crowd.
One audience member referenced a previous episode featuring Richard Simmons, where Ellen talked about how funny it is to watch people dance and what they do with their hands. The individual asked Ellen what she likes to do with her hands when she dances. Ellen admitted that she tries not to think about it too much, as overthinking can make her self-conscious. She humorously commented on different dance styles, like some people keeping their hands by their sides, while others constantly clap. Ellen concluded by saying that she doesn’t really know what she does with her own hands while dancing, entertaining the audience with her candid response.
When asked if she sees herself acting in any more films, Ellen responded by saying that she doesn’t know when she would have time. She explained that hosting The Ellen Degeneres Show is a daily commitment, expressing her hope that the show never gets canceled. Therefore, she doesn’t foresee herself acting in another film anytime soon, much to the disappointment of some audience members.
One curious fan brought up Lucy, Ellen’s dog, and asked how she was doing. Ellen happily shared that Lucy is great and is becoming more trained each day. She mentioned that Lucy is learning not to chase cats and to refrain from digging in the yard. Ellen also jokingly commented on Lucy’s size, mentioning that her paws were large and indicating that she might turn out to be a big dog.
As the segment concluded, Ellen thanked the audience for their questions and bid them farewell, with the promise of returning after a commercial break.
The Ellen Degeneres Show continues to captivate audiences with its engaging and personal interactions between Ellen and her adoring fans. Fans eagerly await what surprises and funny anecdotes Ellen will share next on her beloved talk show.
