Ellen,
I have been reading the e-mails that people send you & it really is kinda depressing that most of them are talking about their problems and could you help them out. I really enjoy your show and you crack me up. Good Luck on the O magazine cover.
Back at ya,

Ellen Degenerate...what a freaky being.

I love your show, but it looks to me like everyone that is in the audience is there for one reason only, to get free stuff. If it is only a CD of someone they have never heard of the go crazy. I don't understand people. I am thankful to God everyday for everything I have, my family, my husband and a great job. Maybe the world would be a better place if everyone was thankful instead of looking for a handout.

Hi Ellen! I am a huge fan of yours. I watch your show everyday here in the Philippines. I am sending you messages and I hope one day it reaches you. I am a single mother to a 14 and 11 yr old wonderful daughters. I, together with my girls really love you and your show so much! though we missed to see the early years of your show. We started watching end part of 2006. And since then on we see to it not to missed a single episode of your show.
Ellen, I am living with tons of stress. I am calling to ask how can I be a home viewer or home partner to 1 of your games in your show? (my kids love the gadgets you're giving away). I got laid off because of the present economic crisis. There are times I feel like giving up.. but I always thought of my girls. Also, you and your show uplift my spirit without you knowing it. Thank you very much for bringing joy to us. You are a very kind and sweet person. We know and we can feel that. We hope you, mama betty and Portia get to visit our country so that we can meet and see you in person.
Thank you, Ellen. Keep laughing, dancing and spreading the joy! You are a LIVING ANGEL to us! Hope to see you in person! we Love you and we mean that!

Hey Ellen I think your graet!!!!!!!!!

PS. Did you ever get my US postal sent mail?

Ellen, I love all the things you do for all people That's why I watch your half of the show everyday. The other half (lol)I miss it everyday due to my work schedule, but yea I see, you do a lot for all of us. Thanks!

Hi Ellen,

I watch ur show regularly and really like it..It really brings smile on my face when things go wrong...Iam from INDIA...Iam an expecting mother.This is our first baby..and the hillarious things u bring to ur show really filled me with joy.....Thanks a lot....Love U....

Ellen,
I have to tell you that my one hour a day with you helps me greatly. I can't work anymore as I have neurofibromatosis. It is small or large tumors on nerve endings. Some days are really bad and your show takes my mind off. But I really loved when you couldn't get Chris Matthews after just talking about it, it was so funny.
But what I am calling to ask is if you can having your money blowing machine come to my house. My two daughters have lived on their own for about 4 years. Well one is coming home. Her school loan are breaking her as well as my husband and I. We have had to give her $400 a month for the last year. My Social Security disability is only $359.00. To make matter worse my husband who was also hurt at work and collects SSD only knows that I signed a $20,000 loan for her for school and actually I did it twice. So we have been giving her the little we want to save every month to go on a little Disney trip. Disney World is my my favorite place to go. So now in two weeks Diana is moving back, lock, stock and 2 cats. And did I mention I do love these cats but Oliver the 2 year old is like babysitting a 2 year old child.
Thank you for letting me let it out. You are such a sweet person and one of these days they will get that proposition 8 passed and that it didn't in November was so wrong. I know you and Portia will have a wonderful life together.

Love your show Ellen! Would love to come and be on the show but my finances won't allow it. I have lupus along with the other conditions that go with it and there are many! I live on a disability pension which is not very much ($700 a month). I live with my daugher and granddaughter and try to help them out. My daughter is 36 yrs old and had her breast removed because of cancer. She takes chemo and hormone drugs so I have to take her for treatments at the hospital which is a forty minute drive from home. They say they are 99% sure they got it all so I am hoping and praying they did as my granddaughter doesn't reeally understand the whole procedure, she is 8 yrs old. Anyway I can't afford to travel there to be on your show so will continue to watch it at home as it always make me laugh and brightens my day for awhile. I find it hard to cope with things these days and watching you makes things a bit lighter for me for awhile. Keep up the good work and thank you. Marlene

My fiance is the only person currenlty employed.

Ellen,
I have been watching your show whenever I can since I was laid off last year like many other thousands of Americans.

Your nickname should be Ellen "The Generous" as you fill many of us with laughter and hope in these trying times - like giving Carol and her family a car today and some cash to fill in the economic gap they were experiencing. You have the four H's in your corner: Heart, Humor, Humanity and Hilarity. Keep up the good works and I am sure you and yours will be blessed!
