Who's That With Ellen? | Thursday, February 21, 2008 | 10:00 AM

Who's That With Ellen?

Answer: Justin Timberlake.

In 1993, at the age of 11, Justin appeared as a contestant on “Star Search.” Justin performed under the stage name of “Justin Randall.” He sang country-western tunes to an appreciative audience. While he did not go home a winner that night, Justin’s career was officially launched.

Justin’s mom thought of the name N'SYNC, using the last letter of each original member's first name: justiN, chriS (Chris Kirkpatrick), joeY (Joey Fatone), jasoN (Jason Watkins sang bass prior to Lance Bass joining the group), and j.C. (J.C. Chasez).

In the 1994 episode of "Touched By An Angel" titled, “Voice Of An Angel,” Justin played a street performer with the other members of N'SYNC.

Ellen, I just wanted to thank you for being the bright side of my day, I can't believe my husband actually sat down the other day and laughed, he just shakes his head. MEN, they don't understand the importance of laughter. ANYWAY, I don't have a CAM for my computer, so I don't get a chance to enter contests or send you neat things, cuz you can see what i look like, I am not asking for one either, just wanted to say, i WOULD love to enter any contests you have along with your great show and laughing to make my day. Is there a remedy...I hope so..Make it so we dummy's can enjoy ya too....take care, and oh BY THE WAY, I tried to call the 800 line for your 50TH, so I will tell ya now, THE NEXT 50 WILL BE THE BEST, cuz you care and have a loving heart, Keep up the good work and keep us laughing along with you, NEVER AT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.

Hey Ellen,

I know the date is wrong for the 12 twelve days give a way, but I feel it's on or it wouldn't be on the internet.

I haven't been as happy or myself for a while and seeing you dance, participate with some of your guests (such as the "Science Guy"), giving people help, and giving presents to people. I get so excited watching the audience being so happy. The jumping up and down and hugging. Thank you so much for that Ellen. Thanks to your that helps you.
I would love to see you in person. I thought maybe my Sharon could come too. I haven't seen her
in a years.

Thank you,
Diana S. Int'l Falls,MN

Hi Ellen
I am one of your biggest fans - I watch your show every day and am never bored. You have such great guests, from young to old, and I especially love it when you have Jack Hanna and his animals on - you are soooo funny. I love the way you interact with your audience and your staff - they're lucky to be working for you. I'm so happy you have such a good relationship with your Mom - people don't realize you only get one real Mother and when she's gone its too late to do anything you may have wanted to do. I had mine for many years (she died at 100) and I wish I could have had her longer.

Well,Ellen,keep ondoing what you're doing - you
are the greatest. By the way,what happened to Alice - you haven't talked to her in awhile.
Happy Easter Ellen,to you and your family.

I just saw your show with Willie Nelson and was very impressed to hear about the help he is doing to rescue horses from slaughter.
In 1995 the ASPCS in upstate New York rescued 36 horses headed to slaughter in Canada and my husband and I adopted 2 of them one being a very large Belgian mare named Esmeralda who lived out her life with us for five an a half years.
I love knowing that someone with more clout than the average person is taking this seriously. We have had a total of 8 horses in 30 years and all but 2 were rescues.

I hope Willie has brought this subject to light with the public to help stop this awful slaughtering of such a beautiful animal.


Sincerely,
A true lover of your show.
All the best to you.

Ellen, I love the fact that you give your home viewers a chance to get in on the fun and enter for a chance to win things; however I have tried for the past three days to try to have a chance to win the GMC Acadia bu8t every time I try getting the trivia question it never takes me anywhere. I have a loving husband who does his best to try to support me and our two children Isabell (16mo) who loves to dance to your show and our son Joaquin (1mo). however when Joaquin was born my husband Joey couldnt even stay home with us because his work wanted him to be there instead. he decided that after being forced to work instead of being home with us that he would take some ime to be with his family. We have a small little honda thats just not roomy enough for the four of us anymore. we were really looking forward to at least having the chance to win a bigger car. I will keep trying I just wanted to give you a heads up about it and give you some back ground info on me.
We love you Ellen

Hey Ellen, My name is Dawn and I watch you every day. I have noticed that you look like you have lost some weight. How did you do it and how do you keep it off (besides dancing)?

Posted by Dawn Williams | February 22, 2008 3:58 PM

There is a little 2-year old that was on the news that is a computer savvy little baby. Larry Himmel,the announcer whose house burned down in the San Diego fires, did the story on channel 8. He loves you tube and he loves to dance. Also on the news was a story about a soldier in Iraq who befriended a dog but then he had to move on. The dog followed him across Iraq and he wanted to adopt him. Someone came thru and raised enough money to send the dog to his parents(Ithink). The dog arrived in San Diego 2 days ago. Both are such great stories...thought you might like to put them on your show!

I love you and your show. You are perfection, my dear! Love,
Marsha

What the February is right!! I am a cafeteria worker here in Ledyard, CT. I have a 6 yr. old son. It snowed today so there was no school. My son and I had a great day out in the snow sliding down the hill and making a snowman with him because all there was on TV was the weather. THE STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got 4" of snow. I came into the house at 4:00 p.m. and what do you think they had on?????? The weather again, the HUGH STORM! Ellen you were suppose to be on, so if you think you could show your show again another time, would you? I am a HUGH FAN, I LOVE YOU and EVERYTHING that you do for people. Keep up the laughs.

Your Fan, HOOLLLAAAAA
Sheila

P/S Everyone says I have a laugh that comes from my heart.
