It's Ellen's 800th show! It's the 800th time Ellen has stood backstage before her show started. The 800th last-minute check to see if her hairpiece is in place. The 800th time she's discovered a "Kick Me" sign on her back and pulled it off at the last minute. The 800th time Ellen has practiced her "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" enunciation warm-ups. The 800th chugged gin and tonic, the 800th peek to see if she knows anyone in the audience. The 800th quick cry, then laugh, then cry. The 800th time she's wiped the barbecue sauce off her hands with the curtain. It's the 800th time someone has whispered, "Ms. Degeneres, there's only... 30 seconds to air."

When It's On

I think that you do woderful work with helping people. I think in this economy you need to lend helpng hands. Just because people might have more money then other people that doesn't mean anything. You don't judge people. I thank you for that. When I was recovering from lung surgery this past September I watch you everyday from the hospital. Wishing I was home with my kids. Could you please send my one of you tee shirts. I would really like it.
