On a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, host Ellen Degeneres welcomed two special guests to her talk show: journalist Diane Sawyer and actor Jeffrey Tambor. The lively episode was filled with humorous moments and unforgettable performances.
As the show kicked off, Degeneres took the audience behind the scenes of her studio, showing them a hallway filled with photographs that are rarely seen by the public. She then playfully locked Sawyer behind a door, claiming that she was taking over the show. However, Sawyer quickly reminded her that it was her show and proceeded to interview Degeneres.
The conversation quickly turned to the topic of soup. Degeneres had previously promised Sawyer during an interview years ago that she would talk about soup on her show. To fulfill her promise, Degeneres dedicated the monologue of the episode to soup, sharing her thoughts and jokes about the popular food. Although the audience didn’t seem as enthusiastic about soup as Degeneres, she humorously embraced the lack of interest.
The episode also featured actor Jeffrey Tambor, known for his role in the television show “The Larry Sanders Show.” Tambor shared stories from his career and provided a surprise for the audience that had been planned by the show. Additionally, the duo of Tori and Damon Escobar, known as “Nothing But Strings,” amazed the audience with their unique blend of hip-hop and violin music.
Degeneres couldn’t help but express her admiration for Diane Sawyer throughout the episode. She highlighted Sawyer’s numerous achievements as a journalist, including her role as the co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America” and “Prime Time Live.” The two friends reminisced about their past interviews and engaging conversations, creating a warm and entertaining atmosphere.
The show also featured segments that showcased audience participation. Degeneres encouraged her viewers to send in videos of themselves dancing along with her during the show. These videos would later be shared on the show, creating a sense of camaraderie and fun for both the audience and those watching at home.
In addition to the lively conversations and performances, the episode included heartwarming moments. Degeneres shared a video of a newly discovered species of monkey and encouraged viewers to support the preservation of the monkeys’ habitat by donating to a worthy cause. She even attempted to have the species named “The Ellen monkey.”
Overall, the episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show featuring Diane Sawyer and Jeffrey Tambor was a highly entertaining and engaging experience. From humor-filled monologues about soup to surprising performances, the episode provided both laughter and heartfelt moments. Degeneres’ ability to connect with her guests and audience members was on full display, making it a must-watch episode for fans of the talk show genre.
