Cynthia Nixon and Ellen Degeneres shared a heartwarming moment on the popular talk show, The Ellen Degeneres Show. The two celebrities exchanged gifts and engaged in a lively conversation that had everyone in stitches.

Nixon, who had been nominated for an Emmy, discussed her feelings of nervousness leading up to the awards. She revealed that winning the award had seemed like an impossible feat before, but now that she had accomplished it once, she felt even more pressure to win again. Ellen, always quick with a witty remark, joked about the possibility of serving as an escort for celebrities to prevent them from falling on stage.

The conversation then turned to an unexpected topic – horseback riding. Nixon confessed that while her daughter had been interested in riding since a young age, she had only recently started taking it up herself. She admitted to being both scared and excited about the experience, sharing a humorous anecdote about trotting on a horse. Ellen chimed in, revealing that galloping might have been even scarier.

As the conversation continued, Ellen presented Nixon with a gift. It turned out to be a salad spinner, much to Nixon’s delight. She expressed her love for salad and her need for a new spinner. The two hosts laughed and discussed other practical uses for the spinner, including drying delicate items and swimwear.

The hilarity continued as Ellen showed a clip from a previous episode where both she and Nixon tried to keep fake teeth in their mouths. The segment had been a hit, with viewers and even people on the street recognizing them for their toothy performances. Ellen jokingly remarked that they almost got sued by a Jacuzzi corporation, to which Nixon cleverly responded by pointing out that they were listed together in the phone book.

To commemorate their shared experience, Ellen surprised Nixon with a Jacuzzi as a gift. The audience erupted in applause as Nixon expressed her gratitude for the unexpected present. She was visibly excited but hesitant to get in the Jacuzzi right then and there.

The talk show segment concluded with discussions about Nixon’s upcoming movie, “Little Manhattan,” a heartwarming tale of a young boy experiencing his first taste of love in the bustling city. Nixon played the role of the boy’s mother in the film.

Overall, Cynthia Nixon‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show was filled with laughter and joyful exchanges. The genuine chemistry and shared humor between these two celebrities made for an entertaining and lively conversation that left viewers eagerly awaiting more.
