Ellen,

We all want to know what happened to Johnny the previous DJ?

Im am the ultimate eelen fan i live in cranbrook b.c canada and im hoping to be seeing the ellen show live in may some time

Dear Ellen,

Day 3...I said I was going to write to you every single day and I'm already thinking stupid thoughts like "What if I forget one day, will she notice?" How dumb is that? I don't even think the staffers (yes, you) could possibly read every word of every email...probably only looking for key words. I don't have a key word...
Yet.
Hey, how about a little segment where you and some guests hold a mock presidential debate? (I'm already laughing!)

Your pal,
Ronnie

"A joyful heart is good medicine" so it goes in Proverbs 17:22. You are joyful medicine to so many!
Please keep it funny...I can hear about Senator Craig on any other channel or show.
I've loved your show since day 1...if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I would have been scared to death by the grizzly bear too, but next time can you say "Oh, pickles" or "dagnabbit" instead of "JESUS". Thanks!

Thanks for your outlook--you help to make this world a more cheery place:)

Love you and feel like you are a friend! Thanks for everything you have done and continue to do for us in New Orleans.

You are beautiful and strong and happy and 50 aint got nothin on you, girl!!!!

Two requests: 1) Please try not to take the Lord's name in vain. 2) Don't worry too much about being topical. You are the "joybreak" in so many peoples' days; your humor is what gets alot of us through the topical stuff we live through!

I love you and pray for you all the time. You spread so much joy around. THANK YOU!

Honestly, I forget if Jennifer and I dated way back when.

Hi Ellen, Love your show. I've watched you since your 90's sitcoms. Your 1st appearance on Johnny Carson/your stand-up etc. I watch your show daily & since Sept. 8th 2003! (Your 1st show!) I don't have a recorder. I have M.S./on disability so able to watch you without recorder. I liked Johnny, why this D.J.? I like that you're talking about current events with audience & guests, however, you don't have to change each season TOO much, I hope what I saw on the show about you asking one's thoughts about Larry Craig stays the way you & staff did so discretly...stays that way with other subjects. But I hope you do the same funny things after your monologue/dance. Perhaps just have 'opinions' once or twice a week? I've been trying for tickets since '03'. I LOVE your show, I'm 53 & when my husband has a RARE day off I make him watch with me! I got your underwear on sale, last season. Your 50th! I bet will be so great! Peace... Ellen, Love you!! Carly

Hi Ellen...I'm from the Philippines and I am very addicted to your show in fact our local cable airs your show in two stations at the same time and I make sure that I watch them both...

I THINK STRYKER IS BETTER THAN TONY OR JOHNNY !!
ELLEN , YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND I AM PROBABLY ONE OF YOUR ORIGINAL FANS > LOVE YA !!!

HI ellen love your show we watch everyday.my son stefan thinks your so funny and nice he wants nothing more then to meet you maybe some day you can make his dream come true.thanks .and god bless you.

Hi Ellen,
You are the absolute BEST! I've watched you since day one (The Ellen Show) absolutely the best, funniest commedian since Lucy. I'm going thru a bad time with my health and all during this time you're there for me to laugh. THANK YOU!

My daughter was visiting from NY this past week. We caught the show with you instructing the AA dance company. It was great to share a laugh together. We taped it for my sister to see. She is a professor of Dance Education @ SFSU. Ellen your b'day is the day before my daughter's (hers is the 27th) and 5 days after mine (the 21st). "AWESOME AQUARIANS" YEAH!!
We would LU-OVE tickets to the show celebrating your 50th b'day. I celebrated my 50 this year and Kia (my daughter celebrated her 21st 6 days later. She was born in the bathroom (not planned) popped right out of me into her daddy's hands. Unfortunately he died this past February.

Question: Did we miss Butterscotch? Saw a promo saying she was scheduled to appear on one of your shows. Bummed cause I think we missed it.

Keep on Keeping on cha(cherie). My parents are from Four Corners Louisiana, the Creole changes depending on the parish.

Hi Ellen
Im a stay at home mum in a small town called Humpty Doo in the Northern Territory of Australia.
I have been a big fan of your's since your old show used to be on, I even bought your book "My point...and I do have one" and over the years,whenever I felt blue I'd read it and it would cheer me up.

Thanks for just being you
love Kristy xx

Hi Ellen: Love your show and like you very much, but I find it offensive when you use the Lord's name in Vain by saying "JESUS" when things go wrong-it's not nice. Please find a different word or words like "Darn The Luck" maybe. Thank you and have a good day.

I LOVE YOU ELLEN!!!
omg.ok so you definetly make my girlfriend so jealous. I watch you everyday and boy does she get mad when i say that i love you.
ok well im really jsut here to say that you new season is just amazing!!

Where can I find the recipe for Paula Dean's doughnut bread pudding? You said it would be on your website but I am not able to find it. Thank you. Love the show! You're great!

Hi Ellen..Just want to let you know I got hooked on your show season before last...I just dare anyone to call me while you're on. You are hysterical. However, I'm not groovin' to this new DJ. You don't neen interaction with him...he is not a natural in my opinion. You do fantastic on your own...so PLEASE get it back to the way it used to be.

Hey ellen so i went to your show last night the 6:00 PM one, and it was amazing. I was in the very front seat and i waved at you and you waved at me back : > that really made my day heck it probably made my whole month. On the way back home i was talking with my friends about the show because i was still very excited as i am now about seeing you and how you waved at me so i told my friends well ive see Britney spears, Kelly clarkson and now ellen my favorite 3 celebrities now i can die!! lol I wish i would of been able to talk to you for at least a second or two, but i'm planning on going next season since i cant this season anymore:

Hi Ellen, I've tivoed every show this week and the first thing I do when I get home from work is watch it. All my stress just washes away and I end up with a smile on my face. You are so uplifting. I've got to say though that I hope Striker isn't a permanent fixture this season. I don't like the language he sometimes uses and he's just not as loveable as Tony and Johnny. Anyway, I want you to know that I really appreciate your "clean" humor. I don't have to worry about my granddaughter hearing anything bad. Thanks for the laughs. Louise
