The Red Sox managed to break the curse by winning four straight games in a seven-game series, securing their spot in the World Series. Ellen applauded their resilience and credited their victory to never giving up hope.

Ellen expressed her gratitude for the invitation and considered joining Ashley during the birth of her child. The excitement was palpable, and Ellen even joked about potentially naming the baby after herself.

As the show progressed, Christina Applegate revealed her cat’s hidden talent. According to Christina, her cat can sing along when she practices her vocal scales. Although she couldn’t demonstrate it on the show, she promised to share a tape of her feline friend’s singing prowess.

The energy of the show escalated further when Ellen and Christina engaged in a Dance Dance Revolution competition. Despite Ellen’s lack of experience, she enthusiastically joined in and gave it her all. The audience cheered and laughed as the two battled it out on the dance floor.

To conclude the show, Ellen announced that Ashley Carroll had sent her a pager, further emphasizing her dedication to being present for the birth of Ashley’s child. Ellen showed off the thoughtful package, complete with Memphis original coffee to keep her awake during late-night labors.
