Ellen at Chicago Theater!

June 19th, 2009 Posted in Warm Up

Wednesday night was Ellen’s Bigger Longer and Wider show, at the fabulous “Chicago Theater.” This was absolutely one of the highlights of my career. The crowd of over 3,000 people was amazing, and the show featured Kanye West, David Blaine, and Nick Cannon as our DJ. I looked up at one point, when I was on the stage, and just thought, “How did I get here?” The show is airing Saturday, June 27th on TBS.

The final week, we taped “Ellen’s Backlot Bash,” and had an amazing crowd of over 4,000 people. Thanks to everybody for coming out to watch “No Doubt” and George Lopez!
