does anyone know what song Ellen danced to on the November 18th, 2008 show? It was the show with Hugh Laurie as the guest (House)?

Thanks

Folks,

Allow me to set the record straight about Enzo's first national television appearance.

Enzoology started only eight weeks ago The concept and idea for the show came from Enzo. He also named the show. We posted it on YouTube with no intentions. We immediately had an overwhelmingly positive response so we created www.enzoology.com.

Enzo just turned seven a couple months ago. He has never before been in front of an audience, on TV or made a presentation. He is not a media personality. He's just a little kid who wants to share his enthusiasm for science with other kids.

Ellen's producers called us. We did not solicit this appearance. They called us the night before the taping and needed us to fly out to LA in the morning. Enzo was up at 5am, spent four hours on the plane, three more in the hotel and four hours locked down in the green room. Enzo was nervous and very excited by the time he went to the stage.

The producers promised a rehearsal. They did not deliver on this promise. They also ran down the questions they were going to ask with Enzo and Ellen didn't follow this either. His parents were not allowed to accompany him - until we protested and insisted, and then only one of us were allowed to be with him backstage.

If you watch the clip, you will see Enzo attempting to answer questions - he gets two words out and Ellen fires another question/joke - never allowing Enzo to answer. Further derailing the appearance, Ellen acts afraid of the animals at one point telling Enzo to "leave the snake in" - so Enzo does what she asks. Later, he told me he didn't want to scare her by bringing the critters out.

Getting laughs were obviously more important than showcasing Enzo's knowledge. In fact, when Enzo gave Ellen a gift of a 150 million year old fossil, instead of using this as an opportunity to ask about it, she made a joke.

Enzo did thank Ellen for the gifts at the end of the segment. They were a total surprise.

To Ellen's defense, it was clear that the writer's strike had tossed a wrench into their machine. They did the best they could under the circumstances and we are grateful for the opportunity.

Enzoology is not about a kid genius (although you might be surprised at his knowledge if you spoke to him in person) it is about a super enthusiastic, happy kid who wants to share his excitement about science with other kids.

This is all very new to all of us. Eight weeks ago we would have never dreamed that our son would have thousands of fans around the world including many teachers who are using Enzoology in the classroom. That the Entomology curator for the University of Texas would take Enzo under his wing and open his lab to him.

Enzoology recently became an official fund raising organization for the Lance Armstrong Foundation - fighting cancer.

I wish those of you who feel a need to tear down a second grader could make an appearance in front of a live audience and millions more people watching on TV. I wonder how you would have done?

I feel sorry for those of you who are so cynical they can't see a beautiful, smart little boy who has so much to share. You're life must be a dreary, cold place.

Dear Ellen.
Loving your show goes with out saying,I tape it every day. You have such a huge heart and it shows. While watching the show with the Pet Rescue Lady in Arkansas, I went from laughing to crying thru the entire thing.
Now Poor Enzo, I went to his web site,it is not much different from his performance on your show. If his parents are making money on this they are both a genius. I dont know about bugs but know more about bugs.
And you asked... Celine Dion. I have watched her from her beginnings and love her music. But she struck me as being so full of her self. I did not like the way she talked to you.You were being funny and she was sarcastic.
Well anyway you have had 699 shows and this was the only one that I just had to comment.And none of it was your fault. Mostly I wanted to tell you a person would be pretty darn lucky to have you as a friend, even if you were not famous. Thanks for stirring up my emotions. Oh I am the one who sent in my pet frog picture who lives in a blender in my kitchen.. Happy Holidays and Dance. Melony

Enzo Monfre...he was a bust and I felt so bad for you. He hardly spoke two words. Another thing that really irks me when kids guest on your show, you give them something and they don't say thank you. Kids with no manners...grrrr! Didn't someone teach these kids manners?
"Elly" (Your tv. father on ELLEN, used to call you that. You do have a great singing voice even if you don't think so. When Stryker and his friend remixed you singing your Emmy song, I wish that coulda been made into a single...I'm serious, you have a great voice. Ever thought of singing professionally??
I have to add one last comment about "anonymous"....I don't care what she/he said about your explanation of the writer's strike. I'm thinking this person doesn't know the real Ellen. I mean....if she or he doesn't like you, then why watch??

Sorry that my grandson Matthew Manning, age 12, oa Lansing, Iowa, wasn't chosen to be on your show this coming week to share his turkey calling skills. After watching the youngster giggle his way through your show with the snakes, spiders, etc.., I think that some more mature acting kids might be an improvement. Of course, I am biased though!

Hey Ellen!

I have watched your show all season, When I am not home to watch them I tape them and watch them when I get there... I have not heard you say anything about the lady that you used to call all the time and you had doing your intro... can't remember her name? Dorris or Doreen maybe??? Anyway, I was wondering if you knew how she is and why she is not a part of your show this season, I loved it when she was on... she reminded me of my Grandma who is a hoot....
She sounded like the woman that used to give advice on Jay Leno- she had some web thing going around, she was a charachter as well if you never saw her, you should check her out- She would definitely make you laugh!!!

Love your show and all that you do...
Happy Thanksgiving

Heya Ell,

Guitars & white tulips (again:)) Flower power to you !

P.S. Gerrie from Holland: go to English classes ! I know they have them there.

Yoka

what song did ellen dance to on fri nov 16

I READ YOUR REASONS FOR CONTINUING YOUR SHOW DURING THE WRITERS STRIKE. I FOUND THEM FEEBLE AND SELF-SERVING AND TO ME AND MOST PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY IS IT PAINFUL TO SEE YOU TAKE ON THE LABEL OF 'SCAB'. BUD

Enzo was just awful. Hope his parents help him for future interviews if he is even worthy of being interviewed. He came across as having no knowledge and a bit ADD and silly. Not entertaining at all.
