Hey Ellen, Congratulations on your marriage. I'm so glad you married your best friend. I wish both of you a life time of happiness! My 15 year old daughter and I watch your show everyday in Baton Rouge, La.. We have been waiting all summer for the new season to begin. We are super excited and can't wait to watch it. WE WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND YOUR 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVE AWAY!!! My daughter just won the Dancer Of The Year award at her dance studio and she would LOVE LOVE LOVE to dance on your show! She is really good and her favorite is hip hop. Anyway, PLEASE consider a mother and daughter from LOUISIANA!!! Congrats again and much love, Sarah and Betsy

Hi again, Are you still giving away tickets for the 12 days special Christmas show? My teenage daughter and I would love to come. Hope to see you soon. Your fans, Rickie and Olivia

Hi Ellen, I would absolutely LOVE to be on your Christmas show! Actually, I'd love to attend any of your shows, I'm a HUGE fan. You are so generous and compassionate and it would be such an honor to see you in person! Saw pictures of you and Portia's wedding in a magazine, they were beautiful, and the one of you two dancing made me cry - very moving as you looked so much in love. My husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on Sept. 30. He's my best friend and I look forward to spending the next 30 years with him.

Anyway - good luck to you and Portia. Thank you for considering me.

We were fortunate enough to travel from Austin, Texas to be a part of your studio audience for your sixth season premiere. We enjoyed the show. Last but not least, I would like to enter your 12 days of Christmas contest. Thanks and congratulations on your recent marriage.

Hi Ellen De, Looking forward to the new season. See you on Monday!

Hello Ellen,

Thank you for all the laughs.

I really like your interviews with actors from the UK (i.e. Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Colin Firth, Daniel Radcliffe, etc.).

Would love to see Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Richard Armitage, Lucy Griffiths, Sam West, you name it...

I also love the shows where you interview celebrities who have a "reserved" persona (play serious characters usually) - because you bring them out of their shell & it can be so nice to see them smile for a change. Makes me smile too! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for everything you do for others .I'm looking forward to sexy season six .

Hi Ellen, It's me again, Rickie. Not Rickie Lee Jones silly, Rickie Sue Harris. Can you believe a name like that? What's even worse is my maiden name is Rayl. Put that together and see how it sounds. You would think I was from down south somewhere but actually I grew up right here in Long Beach, CA. I still get teased and sometimes I think about changing my name to Susan or Erica. Oh well, I guess after 52 years with it I might as well keep it. Anyyyyyyyyywayyyyyyyy, would love to bring my teenage daughter to see your show. We are of course very big fans. Hope to see you soon. Your friends on the other side of the camera, Rickie and Olivia Harris Ps: Tell Mary we love her too!

Dearest darling Ellen, I am a single mom with more problems than I want to talk about. Instead I'll tell you about my wonderful 17 year old daughter. She has been through so much. When she was 14 she finally met her father. He said he would be there for her but only a few weeks later he disappeared again. Around the same time I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness in which there is some treatment but no cure. Due to my illness I was unable to work as a pediatric nurse and on September 29, 2005 we lost our house and 2 of our beloved animals. It still feels like we were hit by hurricane Katrina. Through all this she has still been able to keep a GPA of 4.40, do volunteer work, work a summer job at Target, and help me with activities of daily living. I would love to bring her to see your show. She watches everyday with me when she can and would be ecstatic if she could see you in person. Love ya lots, Rickie Harris

Hi There Ellen,

I myself, am pretty healthy, Thank God!
However, I have tried to enter my Mom several times in the past, for she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I wanted so very much for her to be able to get on the 12 days of Christmas show. Unfortuneatly, my Mom lost her battle with that damn Breast Cancer in September.
Ellen, I still am pretty healthy, but just really really down in the dumps. I have lost my Mom, who was my best friend. I thought you would be able to relate, because you seem to have the same relationship and connection with your Mother as I did with mine. Ellen you and I are the same age and so are our Mothers.
I really do not have a extremely good reason for wanting to be on the 12 days of Christmas show, besides saying that, if I was picked, I could say " This is for you Mom".
Well, that's my story Ellen, and I know it is not as traumatic as others, but I thought I would write anyways, because after all, you and your show, is what get's through the next day. Thank You Ellen!

Love,
Very Lonely & Depressed (Debbie)

Hello Ellen you superstar:
Me again,Dawn from NC. I am still requesting that my mom,dad,aunt and uncle be entered to win the 13 day give away. I've written about 5 or 6 times and I recently was put into the hospital with Pancreantitus(very painful). So I went back and re read my last comments and noticed I was adding people to the list each time I wrote. So let's start again, My mom ,dad, aunt Marge & Uncle Don deserve each day of the give away. They are all kind loving people who would give the shirt off their back to help others. After my sisters passing my mom and dad were mad at the world. My Aunt & Uncle took every minute they had to spare and put into keeping my mom and dad busy and their minds occupided which helped bring them back to life. They still have their bad days as we all do,but with my Aunt and Uncle's help they are living again. My Dad just bought a bigger trailer for my mom which she deserves that and much more. They do not have much but they are rich in love.

I was married almost 21years. Im a single mom now with a 22y old, 17y old and 4 year old boys. I wish you plenty of happiness with your marriage.

Dear Ellen,
Sure would love to be on your 12 days of christmas show.
Please Please please pick me.
I'm 51 years old, Today is my anniversary (Labor Day) ( 3 years ago)...yup... three long years since my fall from a 10ft ladder requiring 9 screws and 1 metal plate, I totally shattered right heel. Life has change and not for the best...
Just before last Christmas I had more surgery ( I compressed my heel after only working a few weeks since my fall ) this time is was a subtalar fusion which consisted of more hardward and another surgery to remove all the other hardware.
I hurt everyday as soon as my foot hits the ground and my ankle feels like is broke or sprained really bad... my walking is off so my balance is off and it rough enjoying life when your foot no longer wants to work with you. I dont take my feet for granted now.. never thought a shattered heel could change a person life for ever like it has...Needless to say Last Christmas was a blurrrr... and to be invited to your show would be something to look forward to.
If I dont get asked to the show then at least maybe I can stopped another person from making the same mistake I did on a ladder...never get on the very top of a ladder with out shoes to trim trees, never get on the very top at all!!! Oh did I mention I fell back down on top of the ladder in bare feet and it felt like my heel was rammed up in the back oh my leg...ouch!!! God was good he let me passout..lol
once the heel gets messed up its messed up for a very long painful time.
Thanks for listening and I hope you have the best life with your solemate

Thanks for all the Laughing watching your show
Terry from OKC OK
