Fans of “The Ellen Degeneres Show” were in for a treat recently when the hilarious Fran Drescher made a guest appearance. As always, Ellen managed to keep the conversation light and entertaining, and she couldn’t help but ask Fran about her dating life.

Fran, known for her straight-shooting sense of humor, didn’t hold back as she shared her interesting experiences with dating. She jokingly mentioned that she doesn’t have trouble meeting people, but rather finding someone she genuinely likes. She revealed that she is currently in therapy, trying to understand why she can’t seem to “like” anyone.

Fran then hilariously recounted a story about someone who tried to set her up with a man from New Jersey. She played with the stereotypical image of a man from New Jersey, wondering if he would resemble one of “The Sopranos.” Adding to the amusement, she learned that the man owned his own construction business and drove a flashy yellow Lamborghini. Fran humorously concluded that driving a yellow Lamborghini seemed a bit over the top for her taste.

The conversation didn’t end there, as Fran continued to share an amusing encounter she had while on a date at a restaurant. To her surprise, she found herself seated right beside Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Chris Martin. Fran admitted that she was starstruck by Chris, who is the lead singer of Coldplay, and she jokingly wondered why she couldn’t meet someone like him.

To her astonishment, Gwyneth leaned over and informed her that Chris was in love with Fran. The encounter took an unexpected turn as Gwyneth introduced Fran to Chris, and he expressed his admiration for her. It turns out that the band often watched Fran in the movie “Spinal Tap” while on tour. Chris extended an invitation for Fran to attend one of their concerts and promised her a backstage meet-and-greet with the band members.

The lively banter between Ellen and Fran was met with laughter and applause from the audience, who thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the conversation. Fran’s quick wit and candid storytelling left everyone wanting more.

The Ellen Degeneres Show” never fails to deliver engaging and entertaining moments, and this episode with Fran Drescher was no exception. Fans can always rely on Ellen to bring out the best in her guests, creating an atmosphere that allows for hilarious and memorable conversations.
