Today in Ellen History

On this day in 1965, in spite of tripping on her jump rope, Ellen continues to jump rope and play hopscotch on her front steps.

On this day in 1972, after whacking her thumb in shop class, Ellen continues to finish making her bird house.

On this day in 2007, despite severely injuring her back, Ellen continues to host the show from a hospital bed!

Hi from Venezuela. no quiero premios ni pasajes. no. solo saludarte y desearte lo mejor del mundo para ti y Portia y tu familia .Of course.
muchos besos y cariños

Hi Ellen,

Thanks for sharing your show with the entire world. From Caracas, I see your show everyday at 6.00 in the morning although with a 2 weeks delay, so I wake up at 5:30 weekdays to have everything ready for my husband and 10 years old daughter, so I can sit and enjoy 1 hour of your incredible show. I admire you so much, you have such a great personality and so much energy that can bright many people’s days around the world, that you deserve the best. I hope people reconsider about prop 8.
Here is one idea. As you have so many fans around the world, you may consider having one international show one day, where you can invite let’s say 2 people from each country, so we can celebrate humanity. How about that?
Well Helen, this is it. I send you a big hug from me and my family and hope to see you someday in person.

Hi there, Ellen!!!

I live in Australia and I'm 15, I watch your show every day. Okay, maybe not every day, but as often as I can. There's a bit of a time difference with America and Australia, so we see John Travolta on the 24th, not the 23rd. I'm sure you already knew that...I'm just trying to make conversation. Anyway, I'm glad we cleared that up.
Congratulations on your marriage! I'm so happy that your're happy, so in the end, we're all happy people! I know that everyone says this, but I'm one of your biggest fans, and I think you're hilarious! I love the celebrities on your show. It's one of the very few shows I watch that I don't get bored with. One day, I hope to go to one of your shows.
Yesterday, the 23rd for us, in your case the 22nd, I watched your show with Hugh Laurie. I watch 'House' a lot so it was great, also because Hugh is my favourite actor.
I have so much to say. My God, it just hit me. You could be reading this. That's incredible.
I really want to become and actress. I'm obsessed with movies, and your show is all that!
Ok, I'm going to stop now. I just wanted to say that I think your show's great, you're great.

So, keep... doing what you're doing!

Dear Ellen,
Im 14 years old and i live in canada. I love your show. Every day i rush home after school to watch your show, well i have to let my dog out first but i rush her along very quickly, just so i dont even miss one second of your show.

P.S. i love when your dancing at the beginning of the show and you go over that table. lol

The one lady said God sent you here to do what you do, that statement is so true. We are all here for a reason. I'm glad you found yours. So many people's lives you touch with laughter. In the past few weeks it has become a ritual for my daughter and I to watch your show every evening. thank you....

Our constitution says that all men are created equal and that there is a separation of church and state, yet we still have people in this country that are being told that they are not equal in the eyes of the constitution. I support equal rights for all people! This means you me and every other American. I do not put stipulations or limitations on that and neither does the constitution. The Constitution does not say that all men are created equal....except....yet we just saw proposition 8 passed in California. It won by 2 percent. It is amazing how something that does not effect the personal lives of some, can be forced upon the personal lives of others. People have had their lives put on a emotional roller coaster all because of their sexual orientation. What ever happened to live and let live. People have lived with the fear that the Bush administration would take away their rights by amending the constitution to say that marriage is between a man and a woman. Yet, the people who want laws like this are not directly affected by these laws. The people that want these types of ammendments are also the same people that did not support the equal rights ammendment. I have faith that with our new leader we will see a new and better version of the equal rights amendment. All anyone wants is equality. Put yourself in their shoes. If someone told you you couldn't marry the person you love wouldn't you fight for the equal rights promised to you in our constitution. This is not just about the equal rights for a minority. This is about equal rights for all. Men, women, black, white, Latino, straight or gay. We are all equal under the constitution. This may not be something that effects you today. However, tomorrow they might want to take away your rights. I am sure that soon the supreme court will overturn proposition 8. For now read The poem below written by Pastor Martin Niemöller duringring Holocaustcost and remember, the next time it could be you. They came for the communists and I said nothing, because I wasn't a communist. They came for the homosexuals and I said nothing, because I wasn't a homosexual. They came for the Jews and I said nothing, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.


hi ellen just like to say how much i enjoy ur show, you are so naturally funny and always manage to brighten my days. congatulations to ye both on your marriage and best wishes. Keep up the good work and thanks you.

Hi Ellen

I´m from Brazil, direct from São Paulo city. We like your show, oh sorry, it´s me and my 15 years old doughter. We laught a lot, specially the apples games. By the way, I agree: the Dunuts game it´s such a stupid one. And the wonderful part is the loser and the winner got the present. Here, it´s different the loser just win a very kind "Thank you for coming".
So you need to come to São Paulo, that´s the only way we win something from your show!!1
Congratulations!!!!
Oh sorry for my English!!!

Hellen, am a guy from Tanzania, East Africa (where the Mount Kilimanjaro is "Roof of Africa"); hope you will one day pay a visit to Africa especially to my country.
I have been fan of your show for so long, you make me laugh from the beggining of the show to the end. I really admired what you do and please keep up the spirit. I find you as as a special woman who realy touched people's hearts in this world, people like you are so hard to find nowadays. I love the idea of keeping the show alive by having music performances, games and interviewing people of different backgrounds. Your show has impacted me. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Love you,

Don.

You are such an inspiration to all of us who think we got everything and everyone against us. You've showed us that happiness is available for everybody, no matter what color, class, gender, sexual preferences or religion we have. I'm so proud of u, and althougth we might not share nothing but anatomies, i identify myself with the struggling woman u are... so, take sometime to learn a lil spanish and come visit us down... we offer great honeymoons here too!

XOXO...Bree.
