HI ELLEN!

I TAPED THE HOOLA HOOP SHOW AND WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER. I'M 52 YEARS OLD AND DECIDED TO GET A HOOLA HOOP AND MASTER THE ART. I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW AND AM OKAY. I REALIZED FROM WATCHING YOU THAT I MIGHT NEED A BIGGER ONE. FOR LESS THAN $ 5.00 YOU CAN GET A GOOD WORKOUT. NOT BAD. THANKS FOR THE ENDLESS JOY WATCHING YOR SHOW.

Hi Ellen

Great Hoola Hoopers today! Just wanted you to know I have a 6 year old daughter, Destiny who was home from school sick today, watching your show just waiting with my cell phone to call you (hoping for a phone number at the end of your show) she was thrilled to watch the little Hoola Hooper and wanted so to tell you what she did here in our hometown, at the Pierce County Fair last August when she was 5 years old.
I knew she could hoola hoop with one, but to my SURPRISE and to the surprise of many fairgoers SHE took it upon herself to do 4 hoola hoops and a 5th around her neck til it too fell to her waist, a total of 5 Hoola Hoops at once!

Ellen, I would just like to take a moment to thank you and your incredible, amazing staff for having my daughter on your show. It was an experience of a lifetime for her and one she will never forget! Sierra was elated with her Cinderella gifts and send a "bazillion" thank you's!

I was pleased that you finally got the larger hoop and then rocked it like a pro! Keep on hooping and stay tuned for more lessons from the "little hoop diva" herself!

Much love to you and to your staff!

Hi Ellen!

Thank you for having my friend Sierra on your show. I watch you all of the time (except, sadly, today) and was THRILLED when I heard she was coming on to your show.

You both make me want to hoop again! :)

(The idea about incorporating the Hawaii Chair sounds interesting, btw! ;-) )

What an adorable clip. And Kudos to you in that she was totally comfortable with you on screen and in front of an audience. You are really great with kids. Will we ever see some of your own?

Hey, Ellen ~

You did a great job on the hula hoop! However, I got ta thinkin...maybe there's a way that the Hawaii Chair can help you out there....hmmmm...

Maybe, we need to have a Hawaii Stool that you just rest your bum on and the "stool" would help with the movement to get the hoop goin...ya likes?

Totally dig ya, Babe!

Ellen- I find you so entertaining each and every day! You put a smile on my face when it's needed most. Watching you hula-dance was great! You picked it up pretty quick and that little girl and her "hair thingy" were adorable! I loved every minute! THANKS!!! I'm a huge fan and would love the chance to come to see your show one day!

ellen that was amazing!
good for you
hula hooping wasnt that hard after you gave it a try

Posted by justina | March 21, 2008 1:49 PM

Hi Ellen - good job with the hula hoop! There's hope for us yet. I think your show is very entertaining. It certainly makes me smile and I think you are a great host.

Here's an idea - why not combine hula hooping with the hawaii chair? Maybe someone can do that stunt ...

Hello Ellen DeGeneres;
