The conversation then turned to Bonnie’s recent trip back home to Chicago, where she and her family organized a surprise 80th birthday party for her mother.

After the heartfelt discussion, Ellen and Bonnie got ready to play a round of improv called “Gibberish.” This game involved one person giving a lecture on a chosen topic while speaking in gibberish, and the other person translating it for the audience. The chosen topic was France, and Bonnie hilariously pretended to be from the fictional country of “gibber.” With her comedic timing, she made the audience burst into laughter.
