In a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, guests Laura Prepon and Bradley Whitford brought their wit and charm to the talk show stage. The episode started off with Ellen’s usual comedic entrance, where she jokingly showed off her behind to the audience before taking her seat. Ellen expressed her gratitude to the audience for coming from different places to watch the show, emphasizing the convenience of having people come to her instead of her traveling to their cities.
The conversation quickly shifted to convenience in general, with Ellen joking about the fast food industry being born out of the hobo’s habit of stealing pies off windowsills. She also touched on the convenience of having food delivered and the nostalgia of the Milkman. This lighthearted banter between Ellen and the audience set the tone for an entertaining and playful episode.
After some audience interaction, Ellen introduced her first guest, Bradley Whitford. Known for his role as Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on The West Wing, Whitford joined Ellen on her couch to discuss his recent foray into writing and directing. Whitford revealed that he wrote and directed an episode of the hit show, which airs that night. Despite finding the writing process torturous, he acknowledged the excitement and pride of finally seeing his work come to life.
As the conversation progressed, Whitford and Ellen discussed holiday gifts. They shared hilarious photos and stories submitted by viewers of their worst gifts received. From poultry ties to neon green boots, the duo found humor in the eclectic range of presents. Ellen, true to her generous spirit, encouraged viewers to give to the victims of the recent tsunami disaster. She highlighted the American Red Cross and UNICEF as organizations to support and announced that a 2005 fully loaded Prius would be auctioned off on eBay to raise funds.
After a commercial break, the conversation shifted to party tricks. Whitford shared his go-to party tricks for when conversations become dull. He playfully engaged Ellen by suggesting she attempt a split, which she declined. They settled for a little stretch and showcased their flexibility, with Whitford impressively demonstrating how he can go from standing to having his legs behind his neck.
Overall, the episode was filled with laughter, lightheartedness, and interesting conversations. Laura Prepon and Bradley Whitford‘s appearances added charisma and humor to the show, making it an entertaining watch for fans of The Ellen Degeneres Show and talk shows in general.
