Today in Ellen History

On March 18th 1970, Ellen attaches playing cards onto the fork of her bike with clothespins, leans back in her banana seat with the sissy bar, and pops one of the wickedest wheelies her street has ever seen.

On March 18th 1981, (during Ellen's "Circus Years") Ellen falls off of her 6-foot high unicycle while performing her juggling fire routine and just barely misses getting mauled by a lion and several midgets in a tiny car.

On March 18th 2004, Jim Carrey rides a bicycle around the Ellen stage, and falls off, creating one of the most memorable moments ever on the show.

Hi Ellen from merry old England...as opposed to New England. I am an Oklahoman...American and a citizen of England. I have lived here for 10 1/2 years and it is stunning. I love your show and if I miss it, I tape it so I can watch it when I need a dance break or just a few American laughs to make me feel better...and trust me, you do provide the laughs and the dance! British humour, while pretty darn amusing can lose a lot in translation. (Ever read Bill Bryson..Notes from a Small Island? Exactly what's it like here!)I still have my American/Oklahoma accent and am trying to get them to talk just like me. (I taught primary school here and all of the kids would sound like me by the end of the year...I am now working on them celebrating the 4th of July and Thanksgiving.) I love Gladys in Texas and think she is a complete hoot. Much success for many years to come....Cheryl (County Durham, North East England.)

Ellen...it's me Zack. Remember when all of those ducks got caught in the plane engines and we had to jump for it? Remember having to share a parachute and as we floated dramatically towards the island filled with wild natives (all who happened to be pointing poison tipped spears at us by the way...in case you forgot about the spears filled with poison Ellen), remember how you kept complaining about how I wear too much cologne and that it was stinging your eyes. Remember how I said that we should be focusing on our landing and that the natives didn't look restless, but more or less very focused and determined to poke us with poison tipped spears. Remember how you told me I should switch to CK One, because you liked that fragrance and you thought that it would definitely not burn your eyes so much. Well Ellen... I have switched to CK One. You were right, that other stuff was a little too potent...and I might (might have) put a little too much on that particular morning. I am sorry for stinging your eyes with my cheap cologne. Hope you're doing well. How is everything?

Dear Ellen,

You would be delighted to be the first to discover this little talented girl on youtube. Her name is Haben Abraham only 9-10 years old but has a voice of three times her age. Simply amazing!! You will not regret this.. check it out youtube.com/transhorn...

with love,
Kedesty

Dear Ellen,

Someone I'd like to see as a guest on your show is the caveman in the Geico ads. I may be old, but I can still admire a hot body and I love a good dancer. I don't know if Geico would let him dance for us. Yum!

I didn't get to see that show. Did he hurt his head? It sure sound like it. Poor guy... you know it is so nice that you play it over and over again so he and everyone else remembers that. lol I know I like seeing it over and over again. That's what I would say if it happened to me. I meant to do it. hehe

I was wondering, is it possible to surprise myself with the gift of meeting you one day? You know, since there is always a relative or a best friend sending this type of emials in order to make their loved ones happy by making their biggest dream come true and meeting their idols or #1 start. I KNOW THIS IS JUST A DREAM, but why not to try, who knows, maybe one day God will make your producers read this email and just out of nowhere,think "uhm this might be a good episode for the Ellen Show" and then pick it and make something special and beautifull surprise to take me to your show and finally meet you. OMG I can even imagine that.
PLEASE, IF THIS EVER HAPPENS THOUGH, MAKE SURE THEY MAKE A VERY GOOD JOB SO I WONT DISCOVER UNTIL I AM IN THE SET OF YOUR STUDIO. I know, I am a big dreamer, but that's what keeps us all alive sometimes...lol
Ellen, may God Bless you. U have this unique power to bring a little smile to everyone who can watch your show at least once in their lives. I am such a big fan, (I know this might sound like a cliche to you) but there is no other way to word it.
U are really amazing. It is so good to know that God had created people like you in this difficult and unexplainable world where we all live at.
AHHH, TO YOUR PRODUCERS: I AM OFF ON TWESDAYS, SO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ME TO THE SHOW ON MY DAY OFF, SO I WONT LOOSE MY JOB. LOL.
I keep you on my prayers, because I know you are a human been just like all of us, and sometimes I do wonder WHO MAKES ELLEN LAUGH LIKE SHE DOES TO ALL OF US?
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
MUCHO AMOR,
STEFANY

Oh my God, I love you both so much! Jim Carrey is fantastic. Oh, and PLEASE! You need to have David Bowie on the show ONE MORE TIME! I love him so much! I'm thirteen years old, and I have OCD. Guess what I'm obsessed with... him. I just wrote to you with a couple of letters in the envelope. Please read them. It is the really big envelope with three David Bowie pictures on it. It means so much to me. It's my dream to meet him or for him just to right back to me. I love you, Ellen! Keep up the great work!
