Sometimes, before the show, Ellen will ask the wise old owl who lives in
the backstage rafters some last-minute questions about the show. "Mr.
Owl, should I ask Jackie Chan if he will karate chop something? Wise old
Mr. Owl, What song should I ask Graham Colton to sing? Does my vest go
with this shirt? Mr. Owl, maybe we should have the contestants in the
pizza eating contest wear raincoats to keep the splashing tomato sauce
off of their clothes?" And the wise old Mr. Owl always gives Ellen the
right answers. Then the doves that nest in the eaves swoop down and fan
Ellen's hair into place, and the little mouse that lives inside Ellen's
chair skitters out, tugs on Ellen's pant leg, and with a tiny little
voice says, "Only 30 seconds to air, Miss DeGeneres."

Everyday while I get my 9yr old and I rush to the tv put it on as she has her breakfast before school. We love to dance with you, and always talk about what it be like to be there, with you grooving!!!!As a single busy mom, I allow myself the first 20min of your show to be a time for me, and that is pretty much all I get till I go to bed. Thank-you!
