In a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, host Ellen Degeneres shared some exciting and scary stories with her audience. She began by recounting a scary experience that her writer, Karen Anderson, had with a rat in her bedroom. Despite living in a clean and healthy environment, Karen woke up to find a large rat that had been cornered by her cat. After getting some tongs and a shoe box, Karen managed to safely remove the rat from her bedroom.
Ellen then shared her own scary encounter, which happened right outside her door. As she was taking out the garbage one day, she came face to face with a snake sitting on her doorstep. While Ellen is not a fan of snakes, she didn’t want to harm the creature and instead tried to guide it away from her patio. However, when she went inside to get tongs and a broom, the snake disappeared.
Ellen then engaged in a playful debate with her audience about whether a rat in the house or a snake near the house is scarier. Ultimately, Ellen concluded that a snake is always scarier, but because the rat was inside her friend’s bedroom, it made it a little scarier in that context.
The conversation then shifted to various topics including Ellen’s excitement about becoming a birth coach for a friend, her love for dancing, and her experience with cold temperatures on the show’s set. Courtney Thorne-Smith, known for her roles in shows like Melrose Place and According to Jim, joined Ellen for a fun and lively chat about her life and experiences.
Courtney also shared some interesting details about her alternative school experience, where she learned jewelry making and had the freedom to explore her passions. The audience enjoyed her stories, and the conversation ended with a light-hearted discussion about dancing.
Overall, it was another entertaining and engaging episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, filled with laughter, stories, and lively banter.
