Ellen Pompeo recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she discussed her new show, Good American Family, and the 20th anniversary of Grey’s Anatomy. The talk show host started off by mentioning how Pompeo has survived every life or death situation imaginable as Dr. Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy.
Pompeo then spoke about her new limited series, Good American Family, which is based on a true story about adoption and a mysterious twist.

During the interview, Kimmel also brought up the fact that Grey’s Anatomy premiered 20 years ago in March 2005.

Pompeo revealed that her 15-year-old has watched the show, and now her 10-year-old wants to watch it as well. However, she feels that her youngest isn’t ready to see her in her underwear on television just yet, despite many of her classmates having already seen the show.
The conversation then shifted to an unexpected topic – David Blaine. Pompeo revealed that she had met the magician a couple of times, recalling a memorable encounter at a seedy little place in New York City. She encountered a group of models looking at something in awe, only to realize that Blaine was levitating two feet off the ground. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing and jokingly wondered if everyone in the place was smoking something. The conversation ended with Pompeo expressing her excitement to be a part of a reintroduction and potentially floating around with David Blaine.
Overall, Ellen Pompeo‘s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was filled with interesting anecdotes about her new show and the enduring popularity of Grey’s Anatomy. It was a lively conversation that showcased Pompeo’s humor and charm. Fans can catch her new series, Good American Family, on Hulu.
