Dear Ellen;
Will you make my wedding day full of fun and excitement? Please come sweep both me and my fiance off our feet!!!!! We have had a rough couple of years and are down in the dumps from the out of control economy. Can you save us? We would love to celebrate with you at a theme park with Mickey Mouse in an enchanted castle or at the top of the dumbo ride at Knotts Berry farm...LOL it would be so fun. You make me laugh every time I need to and so much more. Help me smile now when I need you the most.
Thanks Ellen

Thank you for bringing laughter into our homes & hearts. I am a huge animal lover, did you realize God spelled backwards is dog, or Dog spelled backwards is God, can't do without either one, you are an amazing soul, I dvr your show everyday. Sumuri wrestling is hysterical. love to met you and share some laughter.
ellen...i love your show...my hubby loves to watch you get your groove on...congrats on finally getting on the cover of "O"magazine...you are a very determined woman...is there any one star whom you"d love to interview but haven't yet???keep on dancing ellen..you rock.............
Hey Ellen; Can you swing by my house and pick me up to head to the miss USA Pagent. I know that you have to be going to support Wu. The reason why I want you to swoop down and pick me up is because one of our Preachers that we had @ our Methodist Church, Bro. Byron Putnam/Mrs. Heather, their daughter Catherine Putnam is Ms. Louisiana. We (church family) were so close w/them, and so we could go together to cheer both of them on......I have another friend Monique that will go with us, cause Catherine was named after her....So I will be expecting your call.....Thks so much
Ellen, I love your show, its the only thing that makes me happy anymore, I was laid off in August and my husband just got laid off yesterday, we have three kids 16, 14, 12 and not a penny to our name, we do not have credit cards nor a savings account, we live day to day wondering if we can feed the kids, and will we have to live in the car, please help, I don't know if we can make it thru this, we have been through alot already and I am ready to give up
Your BIGGEST fan

Ellen, you are an inspiration. I'm also totally just watching this episode now. It kind of makes me wish I was conscious in the 90s, because this show is brilliant. Also, hey, I'm really amused by how random the comments are on this post. Hi, guys, 'sup.
That's all!
