In a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, celebrities Susan Sarandon and Dermot Mulroney made an appearance that had the audience laughing and cheering. As the applause filled the room, Ellen welcomed the guests and expressed her gratitude to the audience for braving the rainy weather outside.
Ellen hilariously noted how Californians often freak out when it rains since they’re not used to it. She shared stories of people sitting poolside just days ago and being caught off guard by the rain. Ellen even mentioned that some believe it is the ghost of Usher causing the rain, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
The talk then turned to how people can sense when it’s going to rain. One of Ellen’s writers, Greg Fitz Simmons, shared that his wife’s toe throbs whenever rain is approaching. Ellen jokingly referred to her as “throbbing toe Fitz Simmons” but also admitted that she sometimes feels a change in her body when rain is on its way.
Amidst the lighthearted banter, Ellen didn’t miss the opportunity to keep her audience entertained. She brought out a green screen and played around with special effects, pretending to fly and creating humorous situations. Always the funny host, Ellen engaged the audience by showcasing their dancing skills and tickling their funny bones.
In the midst of the laughter, Susan Sarandon, an Academy Award-winning actress, joined Ellen on stage to discuss her latest film, “Shall We Dance.” The audience erupted with applause, and Ellen congratulated Susan on her accomplishments. The conversation shifted to Tim Robbins, Susan’s partner, who recently opened for Pearl Jam on tour. Ellen joked about Tim’s newfound rockstar status and how Susan was happy to be the supportive partner.
Ellen also took the opportunity to praise Susan for becoming the face of Revlon Cosmetics. She commended the brand for representing women over 40 and shared a hilarious commercial from Susan’s modeling days, featuring Ellen herself. The commercial humorously depicted busy moms chasing after four children while using Revlon’s hour after hour double dry antiperspirant.
The lively episode concluded with Susan discussing her new movie, “Shall We Dance,” which explores the healing power of dance. Ellen and Susan shared their enthusiasm for the film and the joy it brings. It’s a heartwarming story that showcases the transformative effects of dance on both the characters and the audience.
With Susan Sarandon and Dermot Mulroney making a memorable appearance, this episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show was filled with laughter, lighthearted stories, and plenty of entertainment. Both celebrities charmed the audience with their wit, and Ellen, as always, created a fun and engaging atmosphere.
