Who's That With Ellen? | Tuesday, February 26, 2008 | 10:00 AM

Who's That With Ellen?

Answer: Ashton Kutcher.

In 1997, Ashton was a Biochemical Engineering Student at the University of Iowa and worked for General Mills sweeping Cheerio dust from the floor in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for $12 an hour.

Ashton’s fraternal twin brother, Michael, has cerebral palsy. Michael had an emergency heart transplant at the age of thirteen that was necessitated by cardiomyopathy, a virus-induced illness that weakened and perforated his heart muscle.

He has two toes on his left foot that are fused together, meaning they are webbed.

Ashton lost to Josh Duhamel in an IMTA modeling competition in 1997. Ashton signed with the Next modeling agency in New York, appeared in ads for Calvin Klein, modeled in Paris and Milan, and appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

next: Presidential Polls

Dear Ellen
Thank you for bring laughter to us everyday. No

All I can say is Thank you!! for being a bright spot in everyone lives. God gave you a wonderful talent the gift of humor which is the best gift of all. Thanks! you Rock

Hey Ellen, I love your show, although I have to watch it on my dish DVR. It's great though because my sister lives in Ky with all my other family and we call each other everyday and watch your show together.
My sister Katrina is a big fan of yours and so is her kids, they love to see u dance. I don't get to visit them as much as I would like so in a way your show has made us take the time to sit down and talk and even though we're hundreds of miles away it's like we're right next to one another and watching your show. Thank you for helping me take time to share something as funny and great as your show with my sister.

Hi Ellen,

I just love your show. I watch you everyday at work. Your show is the only show that my boss doesn't get mad at me for not doing anything!! I just wanted to say that I am so glad that there are people like you in our world. You the kindest person I know. You really like making people laugh, but you really like making people smile by the things you give them. You are a very generous person. Thank you for showing people that you can do good things when you are a celebrity. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

I was so happy to see you have Hillary Clinton on your show. It would be great to have her on again or give some kind of support for her before March 4. Thanks Ellen for coming through.

Ok Ellen, I have been hooked on you for quite some time now. I was always talking about your show to a friend of mine who is constantly trying to get on "The other show" without success. She finally saw a show of yours and is now hooked as well. We live 2 states away from each other but constantly laugh about your shows via text or email. I think the funniest one was the Hawaii chair. I thought I was going to die laughing. Well now we are trying for tickets to your show. I can't wait, I sure hope it's easier then "the other show". Please Please let me know if we can get tickets. I am so exicted she's hooked on you.

I have an amazing idea. You should invite Zac Efron on your show. I would lose my mind...seriously. =)

Posted by erikka | February 26, 2008 1:25 PM

Hello Ellen,
I noticed someone else on here offered advice about someone you should invite on the show, so I thought I would do the same.

John Hensley from Nip/Tuck would make an interesting guest I believe. Although I love the show and EVERYONE on it, John ("Matt McNamara") is my favorite. He also has an interesting background (herding cattle on a dude ranch in Wyoming) that I think would make for a fun and exciting show.

It's just an idea...

Hey Ellen,
Have you ever had James Scott (EJ) from Days Of Our Lives on your show? You always have the coolest guests on your show, and he is one id like to see. Thank You
Elizabeth

Ellen,
I am writing this on behalf of my daughter Deenie
Evers and her family. They are a family of four.
Richard Evers Jr.,her husband, Richard Evers III, her 14yr. old son, and Cole her 11yr. old son.
I am writing this in hopes that you choose them for the trip to Orlando. I feel they are deserving because of the hardships these two boys have endured in their short lifespans.
Since 1997, the year Cole turned one, their mother has had three brain surgeries. The first one was in October of '97. It was a benign tumor.
The doctor said he got 99% of it but it grew back. She had her 2nd surgery in 1999. It grew back again in 2002. She has had many complications as she is also a Type 1 diabetic.
After her last surgery, she also had a stroke in the cognative center of her brain. She is now considered disabled.
She is such an inspiration to me! She still tries to be the best mom she can be, and her boys love her dearly. They are very good boys. They get fairly good grades in school, and receive awards for good behavior and doing good deeds in their schools.
They do live in an apartment for low income, as she cannot work. Where we live in Kirkland WA.,
housing is very expensive.
Anyway these boys have been through alot, and thier parents would never be able to get them to Disney World. PLEASE consider them for this trip.
By the way we watch your show almost everyday, sometimes I have to tape it , but I watch almost always.
You are great, funny, lovable, generous, sweet, and a zillion other nice adjectives!!
Thanks for all you do!!!
God's Blessing's!!, Janiece Clark

Hey, Ellen! What the February? I can't wait until Leap Day. Won't that be fun? Will you be leaping all day? I'm sure of it. I know I will be! Loved you in the vinyl mini dress on Tuesday's show that was really Monday...that confused me almost as much as your card trick on Monday (was it really Monday?). Love ya, Blondie with straight hair (I hear all the guys like that). KJ

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS A HUMAN I MEAN TWO TOES AND HE WEBBED I SAW A MOVIE WHAT WHAS THE NAME E.T???

Hello Ellen-

I can not believe how caught up in your show I am, on Feb. 26. When the 4 ladies won all those Arcadias, O.M.G., I am still in disbelief, I saw it happening, but if someone would have told me that you did something like this I would have said no, she didn't, and then to treat them to a party at Elton's that is so cool. You are so cool. O.M.G.! Then to treat them to the Oscars, I wish I could have been one of those ladies, how lucky they are. I'll tell you what Ellen, if someone were to tell me that you gave away 4 Aracadias, again, I can truly say I believe, because I am now a believer. Keep it up Ellen, your show is great, the dancing the comedy the games the prizes etc., everything!

A believer and fan-
Lissa Collins
