What's 30 Times 800?

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."

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.

Hey Ellen,
Been watching your show since the beginning and boy could my husband and I use a trip together to Hawaii. The day to day grind really gets to you after awhile. Thanks for keeping it fun, light and full of laughter.
Love ya!

Hey Ellen :) :)
I love your show! I TIVO it and it never fails that you make me smile! I just wanted to say that (like you haven't heard this before lol) would LOVE to win the trip to Hawaii. I've never been there and would love to go with my Grandma. When she turned 90 last year I found out that was the one place she always wanted to go...and I would love to surprise her! So please pick us...PLLLEEAASSEE!!!!

Was born in Honolulu. But left right after Pearl Harbor. Stopped there when I was in the service but it was night and could not get off the plane, so have never been able to see my birthplace. Will probable never get to the old home unless I happen to win a trip. Love your show. Watch every day when I get home from work.

Ellen you are the greatest and so very giving to those that need help during these economic times. Watching your show is always very uplifting and if one is in need of a good laugh they can be sure to get one by watching your show. Hawaii doesn't sound bad either, what fun that would be. hope someone deserving is blessed with this trip.

Love, Tracy

Hi Ellen, just wanted to say I have been a big fan since your stand-up days. My favorite shtick was you're being in a public bathroom and someone opened the unlocked door, finding it occupied with you replying it's ok and them telling their friends to come on in, she said it's alright. Then all this woman's friends proceed to make themselves at home while you're sitting incredulous and apologetic on the throne. I was in stitches. You have a heart warming, speak the obvious sense of humor. I love to watch you in any situation you appear! Keep it real! Love, Laurie

I get up early in the AM, and I fill out the form for the 12 days of Christmas Give Aways. I just wanted to be sure my information is going to be used that day. The calendar on the side says the 1st days give aways. I am entering for the 2nd day. Just wanted to be sure.

Ellen, you have provided 800 million laughs; tears for pets and people of need; issues in the forefront of news; happiness to youths, seniors, people in dire straits and lifted our spirits daily with your dances and commentary. Congratulations and I believe the phrase is: "Go girl go!" Fondly, John
