Ellen’s contagious enthusiasm and love for her job were evident as she talked about the various aspects of being the host of the show.
She shared a funny incident from a recent radio interview she did for a Detroit program. Ellen mistakenly mentioned to the host that she never has authors on her show.

Embarrassed by her oversight, Ellen apologized to Mitch and praised him for his successful books.
Ellen then moved on to discussing embarrassing moments, both from her own life and from stories sent in by viewers.

The woman had to call the referee to help untangle her, much to the amusement of the crowd.
In between the laughter, Ellen introduced her first guest of the day, the talented Kevin Costner. Known for his roles in iconic films like “Bull Durham,” “Field of Dreams,” and “Dances with Wolves,” Costner is truly a legend in the entertainment industry. Ellen praised his talent and mentioned that he has won two Academy Awards for his work.
Costner, humble as ever, discussed his latest movie, “The Upside of Anger,” which he described as a great film. He expressed his love for acting and mentioned that while he has played golf in movies, he doesn’t consider himself an avid golfer in real life.
Next up was Michael Clarke Duncan, who earned an Academy Award nomination for his unforgettable performance in “The Green Mile.” Ellen mentioned that Duncan is also part of the successful movie “Sin City.” The audience applauded his achievements, and Duncan shared his excitement about his current projects and his journey in the entertainment industry.
As the show came to an end, Ellen promised to read a funny story that she had saved for the finale. However, she couldn’t resist calling one of the viewers who had shared their embarrassing story. Ellen dialed the number of Ellen from Connecticut, who had braces stuck on a volleyball net during a game. The two Ellens had a good laugh about the incident and shared their embarrassment stories.
