30 Seconds to Air

30 Seconds to Air is back for Sexy Season 6, and Ellen could not be happier! The show is about to start, and as you can see, Ellen finished mopping the backstage floor just in the nick of time. The hard part is over -- now she just needs to host a show.

But some of you might be thinking, did she really just mop the floor? Is it even really 30 seconds before showtime? Maybe this photo was taken 60 seconds before showtime, or an hour before… or in 1995! Well, Ellen certainly looks as young as she did in ’95, that’s for sure. But she’s got that glow in her eyes that only shows up right before she greets her audience… or when the sweet old deliveryman from the liquor store arrives. Wait, what was the question again? Oh well, it’s only… 30 Seconds to Air!

next: Ellen Predicts the Sex of Michelle Monaghan's Baby!

Good morning. History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
I am from Bulgaria and learning to speak English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Jackson knows max to his puppy."

Thank you so much for your future answers :-D. Leonard.

I hate Summertime, because I miss your shows so much!
If there is anyone who is totally removed from the mainstream woman today, it is Mrs. Palin. The woman that Gloria Steinem and her fellow pioneers revealed is not a back-biting, bitchy Miss America - World- Universe contestant who exploits a mongoloid baby for political purposes.

Its her show she can talk about what she feels
and she has right talk about the Presidental race
every talk show is talking about Sarah Palin.
ellen is caring person and even oprah

Although it doesn't surprise me that Palin would say these things...SOURCES PLEASE!!!!!

Otherwise this has no more validity that "A friend of a friend who has a cousin who knew someone who..."

Go Sharon, Palin is scary! I pray she won't be elected.

To all those who feel the need to express their extreme disapproval at Ellen, for allowing Sharon Osbourne to speak an obvious truth that the rest of the world already knows, you might be interested in some verified quotes from the woman you feel has been so hard done by.

Keep in mind, as you're reading the ideology of this self-proclaimed hockey mom in her own words, that if John McCain (a man not in the greatest health) is somehow elected as the next President of the United States, the person taking his place as leader of the free world should his health fail, does herself not believe in or wish you to follow the true nature of freedom as such.

So, before you condemn Ellen, or Sharon Osbourne, think hard about who and what Sarah Palin is really all about.

The United States of America needs to gain its R.E.S.P.E.C.T back as a world leader and compassionate power, and Sarah Palin is definitely NOT the way to go about it.


"I don't believe in interracial relationships, I was born in Idaho and raised to believe that whites and blacks shouldn't mix or date each other" (1986)

"Here in Alaska, we don't have hardly any black people, I never talk to them, so I was surprised that a black girl beat me in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant" (1988)

"I want creationism as the only theory taught in our schools" (2001)

"The bible will at some point, be in every classroom in our great state if I have my way." (2005)

"Todd and I talked about Hurricane Katrina as God's way of cleansing New Orleans of the blacks who have sinned, the Bible predicted it" (2005)

"I don't know a lot about Iran, I just heard that they are bad people" (2006)

"He can say he is a christian but as far as I'm concerned, Obama is a muslim, look at his middle name" (2007)

Ellen is smiling, she has just mop the floor, and she looks like she is thinking, did I just do a doodie? MMMMM, no, I'm good.

Ellen go on like this and do not listen to the ones who want to change you. Be how you are that was always the best you could do!

Posted by Berliner Mädel | September 24, 2008 9:12 PM

Ellen, Come on...enough with Sharon and her rude comments about Sarah Palin. Whether you like her or not, show some respect. You can take ANYONE's inventory and come up things which are not so great. Look at yourself Sharon, geez...give us a break Ellen and think about how rude it is to cast your own small mind on others. I turned your show off. For good.

Posted by Sara Kennedy | September 24, 2008 5:36 PM

See how they make her pose right infront of that convient monitor where you can see the audiance... they neeed to prove to us that it is indeed 30 sec til air.
Loosen up Ellen, you look so stiff

Debbie,
Do you watch ELLEN? She is VERY political on her show! I think you need to watch before you speak, or at least think.
*wondering why Americans are so uneducated*

PLEASE stop with the poicitcal endorsements. Your job is to entertain, not to tell people how you will vote or try to persuede people to vote for an unexperienced radical racist. Who cares what Sharon Osbourne thinks - she isn't even an American!!! What does she know about American politics? Why do so many of you in the entertainment industry think this is part of your job??? You are alienting half of your audience no matter who you endorse. Isn't that kind of stupid?? Between you and Oprah, I now have two more hours of the day to do something else besides watch TV - Thanks!!

Posted by Janet Dante | September 24, 2008 4:40 PM

oh my god people give me a break. If that is all you can focus on then maybe you are the ones with the political problems. I am so sure your mouths are running about your political views and unfortunatly Ellen can't reach through the tv and turn your butt off. She doesn't need viewers like you anyway she has millions so go watch opera who is with barac all the time. oh baby. go I dare you! I hate negative people so take your tivo and sell it. oh I could just go on and on but I won't bother, it's not worth my time or yours Ellen, producers or Sharon 4 all that matter. Whats that you say at the beginning of the shows = ka (LOL).

Posted by Nancy Buschang | September 24, 2008 4:31 PM

Ellen,
thank you sooo much for speaking against Prop 8. We have been working very hard from Santa Barbara to defeat this lame and unfair proposition.

Posted by Debbie | September 24, 2008 3:55 PM

Today was the first time in a long time that I turned the TV off during your show. I have enjoyed your shows for the entertainment content of them. If I want to watch someone's political views, I will tune in to political programs...and we have too many of those we don't need to tune in to Ellen DeGeneres and listen to someone like Sharon Osbourne's opinions. You are pushing your political views too hard and in my face. I don't like that! My TV will be off during your show for the next week...or I will tune in to Oprah, who, apparently, has discovered that political opinions do not have a place in entertainment programs.
