The Ellen Degeneres Show never fails to have surprise celebrity appearances, and this time, it was none other than Julia Louis-Dreyfus! The chat show host, Ellen Degeneres, was giving her audience a tour of the Warner Bros. lot when Julia Louis-Dreyfus made a special appearance.
Amidst the applause and cheers from the audience, Ellen made sure to remind everyone of their celebrity etiquette – no screaming or gasping when they see a celebrity. But that didn’t stop the excitement when Julia Louis-Dreyfus made her entrance.
Ellen couldn’t contain her surprise when she saw Julia and immediately called her over. Ellen asked Julia what she was doing on the lot, to which Julia responded that she was working there. It turns out that Julia Louis-Dreyfus was shooting her show, “Old Christine,” on stage five at Warner Bros.
Ellen and the audience were eager to know more about “Old Christine” and its air date. Julia mentioned that the show would be airing on CBS very soon and assured everyone that it is incredibly funny. The anticipation grew among the crowd as they couldn’t wait to see the new show.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Ellen asked Julia if she often saw celebrities while walking around the lot. Julia shared that she would occasionally spot celebrities, as well as people dressed in Indian costumes and showgirls. Filming for “The Poseidon Adventure” was happening on the lot, and Julia vividly described a scene where a person came out with a pipe through their head – just like in the movies.
Ellen was curious to know if Julia gets recognized a lot, to which Julia revealed a rather awkward encounter in a bathroom stall. Julia recalled an incident where the woman in the next stall recognized her and asked if she could spare a square, a line from the iconic show “Seinfeld” in which Julia had starred. It was a bizarre and uncomfortable situation for both of them, as having a conversation in a bathroom stall is not ideal for anyone.
Before bidding farewell, Ellen made sure to promote Julia’s show once again, encouraging the audience to tune in to “Old Christine” on CBS. She applauded Julia Louis-Dreyfus for her comedic talent and thanked her for the unexpected visit.
As Julia walked away, clutching her mic pack, Ellen jokingly mentioned how celebrities sometimes enjoy being trailed and watched, just like animals on the discovery channel. With that, the segment came to an end, leaving the audience in anticipation of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ upcoming show and sharing in the excitement of unexpected celebrity encounters on The Ellen Degeneres Show.
Whether it’s surprise appearances or interesting interviews, The Ellen Degeneres Show never fails to entertain its viewers. Tune in to watch Julia Louis-Dreyfus and catch all the laughter and surprises.
