On a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, host Ellen Degeneres entertained the audience with her usual wit and charm. But this time, the talk show took an unexpected turn as Ellen shared her experience with the birds that had been building nests everywhere.
Ellen humorously recounted a story about driving and seeing a bird building a nest in a green light. She expressed her concern for the birds and even postponed house renovations to protect a nest she found under the eve of her house. However, when she discovered five baby birds in the nest, she had to call a bird expert to take care of them.
Aside from her bird encounters, Ellen also discussed her love for birds and her sympathy for lost pets. She even mentioned the presence of escaped parrots in Los Angeles, which she referred to as “bird gangs.”
After a commercial break, Ellen welcomed guests Barry Manilow and Nia Vardalos to the show. Barry Manilow performed his iconic song, and Nia Vardalos talked about her upcoming movie. The conversation took a lighthearted turn as Ellen teased Barry about the gift basket she received backstage.
During their chat, Ellen and Barry discussed their recent health issues, with Barry sharing his experience with fibrillation. Despite this health scare, Barry seemed to be in good spirits and excited to be a judge on American Idol. However, he expressed his reluctance to judge the contestants, preferring to encourage and support them instead.
Ellen also mentioned Barry’s loyal fanbase, affectionately referred to as “falows.” Barry and Ellen exchanged banter about their respective fans and their appreciation for their support.
To end the show, Ellen indulged in her love for “big fat animals.” She showcased pictures of overweight cats and an especially large quail, adding her humorous commentary to each photo.
Overall, it was another entertaining and lively episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, filled with laughter, interesting guests, and Ellen’s unique and charming interactions with her audience.
