Kellie ... what a sweetheart. She is the most down-to-earth, perky little thing; just adore her. I remember Kellie from American Idol; and loved her then; love her now. It's great to see and know that Kellie has made a success of her difficult earlier life; she truly is an inspiration!

Keep it going Kellie ...

Dear Ellen,
I hope you have a great 50th birthday!! I'm a school librarian so I don't get to watch you live. However, I tape your show everyday and watch it that night. I sure have a good laugh. I also admire your generous spirit and all the good you do for others.
May God bless you abundantly!

Hi Ellen,
I always watched your show after work but now that I am retired I watch it faithfully every morning at 10 a.m. I love your show and I love how good you are to so many people. You make me laugh and feel good. You are the best talk show host out there. Keep it up.

Happy 50th birthday. I had mine 5 years ago and I feel great. Enjoy every year.

Hi Ellen:
Love your show and try to watch it every day when I get home from work. No matter what kind of a day I've had at work, you (and your show) help to make me laugh. You are Good Therapy!!
Just a comment to say that I think you are Awesome and Extremely Funny BUT.....I think you are "generous to a fault". You are always giving wonderful gifts to your audience. I watch your 12 days of Christmas and wonder how many people are there to actually SEE you or are they there for the "free gifts" ?? Have you ever wondered about that?
Christmas is MY favorite holiday and "I" Love giving too.
Anyway, keep up the great job ~ you are saving me money for not having to pay for a "therapist"...Love your show!! Holla!!!

Hi Ellen you rock I watched your show with the jonas brothers and with selena gomaz. Im a huge disney channel fan!!

Ellen,
I LOVE your show. I watch all the time. It is the one show my kids and I agree on watching together. We even have my husband watching. (Now that is progress.)
I have only one wish and that is to be on your show the next time Kenny Chesney is a guest. He is the only one I would like to meet as much as I want to meet you.
Thank you for the laughs. You had us at "Let's dance."

Hi Ellen

I just watched your interview with Selena Lopez and I love eating pickles at the movies too! I am from Houston, TX and everytime I go to the movies my Husband knows to buy me a pickle. They are so juciy and really sour, I just love them. I didn't know that they only sold pickles in the theaters in Texas thats crazy.

Anyways love your show and keep on dancing!!

Happy B-Day

I just love watcing your show. However, I can only watch the highlights on the computer. I save Saturday mornings to do this. (and now my computer is broken, please don't do anything really good, or i'll miss it).I work until 5pm in Boca Raton, FL. and never get home in time to see it on WNBC6 @ 5pm.(i don't have tevo or a vcr that works)
Happy Birthday, you are an inspiration to me.

Always lots of fun, Perky Kellie Pickler tickles Ellen's funny bone when she talks about her bad luck.

That made me laugh when I read the above. Perky Kellie Pickler. If Kellie is Perky, you Ellen must be Pinky..I use to watch a cartoon when I was a kid called "Pinky and Perky" ha ha. Talk about a flash back. Those were the good old days when you watched a cartoon that made you laugh. I have been looking at the old Donald Duck cartoons on Youtube. Walt Disney cartoons are classic. Actually come to think of it..I will toddle off to youtube and see if they have Pinky and Perky, I don't think that was a Walt Disney.

Anyway, Kellie is a delight. I don't think she will fall into the Celeb clap-trap. So, down to earth, and funny too. And I adore her accent.

Ellen,

I just finished watching Kellie Pickler on your show. I have loved her sense of humor and singing since she was on Idol. I hope some network puts her in a comedy series. I think she would be great.

Kellie is so much fun. I have enjoyed watching her grow into this strong woman! As you said it Ellen look at what you can be with hard times. Can't wait to hear her CD. Would love to have it.
Hugs and loads of prayers and love!

My 11 year old, whom is out of school due to sleet/ice, called to tell me Kelly was on your show. I listened through the telephone and loved it. So I logged on and played the video. We love her to pieces. Us being from TN relate to the accent, her honesty and witty sense of humor. She is one of the few younger artist that I feel comfortable letting my kids listen too. Thanks for having her on.

I just watched this (as I do most morning) and I think Kelly is so darn cute. My daughters and I would love to see her in concert and we hope to someday. She is one of the most gracious people I have ever seen in this business.
I just love her accent and we loved her on are you smarter than a 5th grader.
Ellen your guest are all so awesome someday I hope to be in your studio audience.
