One of TV’s biggest phenomena, Desperate Housewives, has been captivating audiences for years. The show’s star, James Denton, recently made an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, where he shared some interesting insights about his role and personal life.
Ellen, always known for her playful banter, jokingly mentioned how she and the crew at the show watch the cast dance in the background before going on air. James was a good sport about it, acknowledging that he enjoys seeing everyone in such a happy mood. He also mentioned how the cast is aware that they are being watched and that the footage is used in the show.
As the conversation moved on, Ellen asked James about the future of his character, Mike, and his relationship with Susan. James teased the audience by saying that he gets asked this question all the time but refuses to give any spoilers. He mentioned how the show will continue to push the envelope with Mike’s character, hinting at a darker and more dangerous side.
Reflecting on the success of Desperate Housewives, James talked about how everyone involved had a sense that the show had potential, although the massive hit it became was unexpected. He also opened up about his journey in the industry, sharing that he didn’t start acting until he was 28 years old.

In addition to his success on Desperate Housewives, James was named “sexiest newcomer” in a recent magazine feature. He humbly accepted the title, attributing it to the show’s popularity. James jokingly mentioned how it’s always an honor to have “sexiest” in front of any title, even if it’s “newcomer.”
On a personal note, James revealed that he and his wife are expecting their second child. With a 19-month-old son already in the family, they are excitedly preparing for the arrival of their baby girl in March. James humorously shared how their son is aware of the baby and often approaches other people with beer bellies, thinking they’re also pregnant.
Wrapping up the interview, James expressed his gratitude for being part of such a successful and enjoyable show. He acknowledged the amazing cast and crew and emphasized the fun and positive work environment they have created.
Desperate Housewives continues to captivate viewers with its intriguing storylines and talented cast, including the ever-charming James Denton. With the show’s future looking bright, fans eagerly await more of the drama and excitement that has made it a must-watch series.
