30 Seconds To Air


"Mission Control, this is Yellow Leader, how's my signal?"

"Uh, roger, Yellow Leader, we're reading you loud and clear."

"All systems are a go backstage, Mission Control."

"Roger. T minus 30 seconds to air, Yellow leader."

"30 seconds to air. Got it. By the way the name is Ellen, not Roger.

"Roger, Ellen"

"No it's just Ellen."

"Gotcha Ellen. T minus 15 seconds to air. Start your approach to the monologue."

"Starting Approach."

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, lift off! We have lift off!

"This is one small set up for man, one giant punch line for mankind"

next: All Right, Who Is This Really?

Ellen, loved the yellow sleeping bag. I tracked them down and called the company that sells them in the U.S. (Lippi USA). They say they are coming to stores around the country very soon and that there will be brown, green, yellow, red, light blue, black and other colors too...btw, just a tidbit for others, its called a Selk Bag...apparently named after an indigenous tribe to Chile...Lippi (the people making the bags) is a Chilean company and have just begun to sell them here...hope this helps everyone else and Happy 50th to you Ellen, my wife and I are big fans!

I ordered mine at WymanOutdoors. I think on the show Ellen said that's where her bag came from.

I love mine!

Ellen!

I saw you walk out in that and I was wondering... what is that!!!! Its very interesting I thought and then I started to wrap my head around it... trying to figure out what it was/is and I was looking at the material and I thought... well... that looks like material from a sleeping bag and all those black ropey things ... big feet... wow you can slide around... that's cool... looks like fun... oh... yeah it looks like she's in a sleeping bag... and then 4 seconds after I thought that as you continue your monologue you said its a sleeping bag and I patted myself on the back 'cause I got it right!!!! LOL

That is a nifty idea!... however... does it come in two? I mean... if you love someone.... where do they sleep! LOL They do make sleeping bags for two... so do they make a sleeping suit for two??? That would really look marsian like! LOL

HOLLA Ellen!

Here's an unofficial welcome to the Fab 50s! (I'm still waiting for the fab part ...) I turned 50 in '06 so I feel your pains. I know what you mean when you say your body talks to you ... mine shouts or screams at me. I am a faithful viewer and look forward to each day off when I can set the alarm to wake up to your bright smile at 9 a.m. eastern time. (Some day I'll get TiVo). I won't let anyone near the TV because I have to watch Ellen! I've often said I wish we could be friends because I enjoy spending time with you. I was recently in small theater production and we named a character after you! I raise a toast to you on your special day. Cheers, Ellen!

Your friend,
Linda

Ellen,

You sure have a hell of a swing! It was hilarious when you hit that ball into the audience. I am with Big Daddy Driver and I was the one who sent you the Weed-Whacker golf club. I am a big fan of yours and I want to wish you a Happy Birthday. Thanks so much for showing our gift on TV. Although, we were a little disappointed that you did not mention our name like you did the others, we were still excited to see "you" using it on TV.

Thanks again,
Kyle

Dear Ellen,

When I first caught a glimpse of you in that yellow suit, I thought you had finally decided to to go some place like Mars! Not that I thought that you would try to run and hide because you've been sick and tired recently and had to deal with the big 50 thing; rather, I figured you probably were just planning a bigger blast than I had even surmised! Sure hope so and if you do, have a stupendous time and a safe landing!!

Ellen,
I am a huge fan of your show! I saw you wearing the SELK bag (sleeping bag)on t.v. I love it. I have seen it in Outside magazine. I hear it's made by Lippi. You can get more info at www.lippioutdoor.com.

Posted by Patty | January 23, 2008 7:11 PM

Hey, I saw your show. FANTASTIC! I watch it everyday! I was wondering if you could buy those sleeping suits anywhere in stores? Happy Birthday!

Hubby and I just love your show. Loved the yellow sleeping bag outfit. I thought it would be perfect for working up a sweat sliding round and dusting the wood floors. Probally a 300 calorie burn.
Happy 50th Birthday Ellen...enjoy the celebration. You deserve it. Your a wonderful person who brings a lot of happiness to everyday people. Nothing better than watching people smile for a change.
Keep up the good work. We love you..
Sherrie and Joe

Hey Ellen,

You are and will always be HILARIOUS! Loved that yellow suit. Where can I get one?
Happy big 50 and keep rockin!

OK, so when Kelly Pickler was on and talking about being a big hot mess, my 54 yr. old sister who's a huge fan of yours (me too, but she NEVER misses your show)was focusing on the TV while walking. She stepped on her cat's tail (Little Bit), and of course the cat freaked out. Laura was so startled to avoid hurting the cat she tripped and took a header slamming down on the floor, first on her knees then on her face. (She works with the mentally ill and was beat up @ work and just happens to be at home recovering from a pretty serious neck injury.) So I have to tell you, she REALLY LOVES you to take one for the team like that. She calls your show the holy hour and nobody better call her during it. She's writing you a letter about this whole fiasco, and I belive she even screwed up the courage to preface with a phone call and a birthday message. Happy 50th birthday on Saturday, and of course I only know this because Laura informed me. So, if you get a message from someone that sounds like Eyore with a shaky voice claiming to be a woman named Laura, yep, that's my big sister, AKA quick steppin' cat crushin' Ellen lovin' laugh riot! :) Best wishes for everything! Claudia
