“Where the Wild Things Are”
October 30th, 2009 Posted in General
Today was Ellen’s Halloween Show. Can you tell who I’m dressed as? One of the best shows of the season, as always. Kellie Pickler and Rick Springfield were the guests. Also, make sure you watch Monday’s show, featuring Jim Carrey. He was fantastic. He makes a lady in a wheelchair walk. Its the truth. Finally, make sure watch the link from below….it is from Jimmy Kimmel’s appearance this week. One of the funniest things that I’ve ever seen on the show!

Ellen gives shout out to Audience Warm-up Tom Riles
October 21st, 2009 Posted in General, Warm Up
About a week ago, Ellen started out her monologue a little differently, by talking about me! It was pretty incredible, and I must say, I have the greatest job working over at that show. Take a look at the link below.

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Audience Warm-up
October 13th, 2009 Posted in General, Warm Up
What happens when you come to the Ellen show wearing White Pants? Find out in “White Pants Audience Dancing,” featured on the Ellen website. Watch the whole thing through, to totally enjoy, and you’ll see me sending the guy in White Pants up and down the aisle, time after time. That’s what you get for wearing white pants to the show.

Ellen on American Idol
September 9th, 2009 Posted in General
Today, Ellen announced on the show that she was the new judge on “American Idol!” I must say, the crowd was shocked, and it turned into an immediate standing ovation. During the commercial break, I announced, “There she is, the new judge on American Idol….Ellen DeGeneres.” Ellen looked at me, nodded, and you could tell she was really thrilled. The entire studio was really excited for her. It was pretty cool to be the first person to give her a shout out for her new job.
I think that she’ll do a great, being the judge that speaks for the people. Ellen is a fan, just like the rest of America. It’s funny…Four years ago, I was working for Ryan Seacrest. Soon after that, I was hired on Ellen, and I’ve even done audience warm-up on Idol a few times. Those are my people.
By the way, we had the Real Housewives of Atlanta on “Ellen” yesterday, and they were drama! Ellen had to get in the middle of them, and break up the bickering and catfights. I will not be inviting them to any party we have any time soon.
Also, congrats to Derek Jeter, tied for most hits ever for a Yankee. I don’t like them Yanks, but Jeter was born in Pequannock, NJ!
