In a must-watch episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, talk show host Ellen welcomes the talented Nick Cannon to the stage. The episode, which aired on January 28, 2004, is filled with laughter, humor, and a lively conversation between the two stars.
Nick enters the stage wearing a stylish outfit, catching Ellen’s attention immediately. She compliments him on his attire, including his bling. Humorously, Nick responds that his bling pairs well with his “Ellen draws” (referring to Ellen’s merchandise). The playful banter between the two sets the tone for an entertaining segment.
Conversation turns to a massive platter on the set, and Ellen asks about its origins. Nick reveals that it’s from Jacob the Jeweler, a popular celebrity jewelry designer. Interestingly, both Randy Jackson and Ruben Studdard had previously worn Jacob’s creations, emphasizing his popularity in the industry. Nick playfully requests a free jewelry piece, jokingly joined by Ellen in her desire for a gift from Jacob.
Ellen expresses her admiration for Nick’s success, commenting on how well he’s doing. Nick, hailing from San Diego, California, proudly represents his hometown. He shares that his parents are extremely proud of him, maybe even a little too proud. He goes on to mention his mother’s feisty nature, sharing a recent incident at a Chinese restaurant.

As the conversation continues, Ellen mentions her own mother’s protective nature and how she believes people should know who she is. Nick, finding the situation relatable, jokes that he might hire his mom as security and take her on tour with him.
The discussion takes an exciting turn as Ellen brings up Nick’s recent collaboration with the one and only Jennifer Lopez. Nick exclaims that working with JLo on the movie “Shall We Dance” was a memorable experience. He appreciates that she didn’t bring an entourage to set, and they had a chance to bond one-on-one. However, Nick’s energetic spirit led to a slight mishap when he accidentally showed JLo a picture he had taken of her butt. Despite the momentary embarrassment, they remained cool and had a great time together.
The segment concludes on a high note as Ellen promises that Nick will perform for the audience after the break. The anticipation builds, and the audience can’t wait to hear Nick’s incredible talent.
