The conversation then shifted to Jennifer Riddle, the woman who sold Ellen the smiley face potato chip. Ellen decided to surprise Jennifer by calling her during the show and inviting her to be a guest on the upcoming episode. Jennifer, who resides in Alabama, happily accepted the invitation.

Next, Ellen introduced Mr. Smiley Face, the talking potato chip. Ellen revealed that the chip had arrived and shared her excitement for the special protective case she had ordered to keep it fresh.
