Hi Ellen!! I absolutely LOVE your show. My boyfriend gets mad at me every morning at 10am when I change whatever he's watching, to your show! He gave up on the fight when he found out we have 3 remote controls for our TV. And no matter how hard he tried, I would always change the channel back to your show. Anyway, I know this chili cook off is old news, but I was wondering if you were going to have a chili cook off for your fans? My recipe is to die for! Everyone that has ever tasted my chili, craves it all the time. It's my own recipe, and I have won a chili cook off in the past with it. It's a chili like you've never tasted before...and that's everyone's reply after the first time they've tasted it. It's constantly requested by all MY fans, lol. Please let me know if you decide to make this a contest for your viewers. I would LOVE to be invited to your show and prove I make the best chili in the country!! I'm even willing to freeze a portion of it, and send it to you personally! I guarantee, once you try it...you'll just HAVE to have more! Have a great holiday season!!

All i have to say is UNFORGETABLE!!!!!!!!You rock Ellen D.!!!!!!!

Hey Ellen!! All I have to say is that you should have another chili cook-off for your viewers. My dad makes the BEST chili you will ever taste. Its a very simple, but VERY secret recipe. I am 23 years old, and wanting to become a chef, that is THE ONLY reason he just recently gave met he recipe. Even still, I have to swear on my life I wouldn't say anything. All I'm sayin is that you should definately hold another chili-cook off, and invite my dad! Please consider it! THANKS!

Hey Ellen wow you look younger then 50 just like me I am 55 and not anyone believes me when I tell them and that I am a mom of a 38 yr old son...These are your awesome years you will see.I hope you have the most wonderful 50th Birthday anyone could have..Lite up them candles and blow them all out and away..wouldnt miss your show hugs Phyllis

Hey, Ellen!
Just sent $50.00 (for 50 years) to help build the New Orleans house I hope they dedicate to you and your team!
My fifties were the best decade of my life . . until I got into my sixties . .
Here's to you, good lady!

Hi Ellen! Your show is my favorite talk show EVER! I always look forward to noon-time because that's what time your show comes on. I just wanted to tell you that my toddler's Birthday is the same day as yours, January 26th! He will be 3 yrs old and he has such a potty mouth! When he trips or drops something the cuss words start flying! I don't know whether to laugh or reprimand him. It is the funniest thing! I do reprimand him and have to stifle my laugh. He loves your show and loves to watch you dance. He knows that Ellen time is Momma time! We love ya, wish we could be there to celebrate, but I am just in remission from Cancer (Thank God) and money is super tight since my husband must carry the whole financial load. Happy Birthday and send our love to Portia and Momma!

Happy 50th Ellen! My hubby shares your birthday (and yes, he's turning 50 also). Good thing you don't look alike, the white beard wouldn't look as good on you LOL! Here's wishing you many, many more.

Happy 50th, But you look only about 35, I think it is because you are so young at heart. Keep up the good work, and keep dancing

Hey Ellen,

God, to be 50 again! Wishing you a wonderful 50th birthday. It's not so bad to be 50. I reached 59 and feel great! In this day and age you have probably reached the midpoint of your life. Your shows make me young. I sit by myself laughing my head of. You've been blessed with a gift of laughter and giving and share it with the world. Keep up the great work Ellen. Your a treasure!

Wow, you are turning 50! Life really begins now...enjoy your birthday, do all the things you want to do. We'll be singing Happy Birthday to you from the frozen north of Alaska!

Thanks for being you and bringing so much laughter and joy to all of your viewers!

HI THERE ELLEN WELL YOU ARE GOING TOO BE A ANOTHER YEAR OLD. BUT YOU AE GOING TOO HAVE A VERY GOOD TIME. IT IS JUST A NUMBER. SO JUST LAY BACK HAVE FUN FUN FUN GOD BLESS YOU. LAVERNE LIPSCOMB

Ellen - Happy big "50" ... I have made a special birthday song just for you, but you have to say it aloud 2-3 times to get the full effect.. So here it is... It's your "BIRTHDAY" - Have a "PARTY" - We'll be "DANCING" - Live long and "HARDY"!!!!! Happy birthday girl, your show rocks and so do you! Also Happy holidays to you and your family & staff.....

Hi Ellen,
If you do a show with teachers, I would like to nominate my daughter Susan Cordell. She had a BA when she went thru a divorce, so she went back to school to earn her teaching credential with two very small children. She had no financial support from her dead beat husband. He did a vanishing act. She also completed her Masters while teaching and raising her daughters. It took her a lot of years to finish her masters, but she was determined to complete it. i am so very proud of her. She has struggled all these years to maintain her daughters lives without their father. She had always made sure that they had their won bedrooms and the love of God.

HI ELLEN I HOPE YOU FIND A FAMILY WHO STRUGGLES TO MAKE ENDS MEAT FOR THEIR KIDS BUT TRYS THEIR VERY BEST TO MAKE A GOOD HOME FOR THEM AND ARE GREAT PARENTS, TO BE ON YOUR SHOW!!
YOU SEE THAT ON EXTREAM HOME MAKE OVER,THATS THE PEOPLE I WANT YOU TO PICK FOR YOUR GIVEAWAYS NOT ONES THAT CAN AFFORD WHAT YOUR GIVVING AWAY ONES THAT WOULD TRULY MAKE THEIR YEAR,NOT JUST THEIR DAY

WE LOVE YOU KEEP ON KEEPIN

50? I don't believe you!

Ellen, I don't have a pc at home so i would really enjoy getting a phone call from you about the Christmas givaways. I have mailed you a letter, and my number is in the letter. I have a daughter that is wishing for something very special, and I am disabled, and cannot provide it for her. Please don't ignore my request!!! I enjoy your show so much. I really enjoy the part where you go dancing through the audience!!! The finaly of straddling the table is super!!! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas, and a wonderful new year. Also. Ellen, my grandsons are wanting a Nintendo Wii, do you think you can help? I'm serious Ellen, there're 5 and 6 years old. HELP!! HELP!! We cannot find one anywhere!!! Please!!!

Hi Ellen I watch your show pretty much every day while my two month old daughter takes a nap. I love the show and think it's great what you do for others. I even got my B/F watching too when he is home. Keep up the great work love the show your awesome Ellen!!!!

Hi Ellen,

Your sincerity and humility are inspiring. I'm guessing since you're SO OLD now that you won't be changing anytime soon.

Love ya! And if you got to see me every day for an hour on my own show, you'd love me too.
For now, I'm merely a scary stalker.

Ellen

Listening to you everyday from my hospital bed in the nursing home after my accident four years ago got me though to today. I lived through that accident and want to thank you for not getting depressed. I wouldn't go to therapy until your show was over. I never miss a day. If I am not home I tape you. I hope someday to go to California to see you in person. I am 69 years old now and don't travel much because of my accident. (I broke my neck and had to have my left foot fused so I don't get aound much but still love to travel.)

Happy Birthday. I loved being 50 and you will too.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SHOW!!! I HAVE BEEN ON MATERNITY LEAVE SINCE AUGUST & I DON'T THINK I HAVE MISSED 1 SHOW. MY NOW 4 MONTH OLD SON GAVIN WATCHES WITH ME. HE LOVES THE MUSIC & "BIG PACKAGE" BY THE WAY, TODAYS GIVE A WAY IS EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED SANTA FOR...THANKS FOR THE TEASE! WE WILL KEEP ON WATCHIN...KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO!

and feel younger.it will put a smile on your face
that will last all day long.most of all it could not hurt...i love you and your show . i watch you everyday........love the best hugger ever....debby

My "birthday wish" for you, Ellen, is that when you wake up on January 26th (from that moment and throughout the entire day) you feel as warm and fuzzy as you have made millions of people feel every day for years; some watching your show, some reading your books, some remembering the good 'ol days of your comedy gigs, and some who have been there from the beginning, your closest family and friends. If the "Most Genuine Person in the World" award is ever created, there is no doubt that the award will go to the one and only ELLEN DEGENERES! Thanks for all you do! And hope you have a happy five-o!!!

Hi Ellen,

My first time posting to a show. I just had to let you know that I love your show! You always manage to make me laugh. Thank you for bringing laughter into the lives of your fans. Happy 50th! You look great. I turned 50 this past September so I can relate. Enjoy your celebration in the company of your fans and loved ones. I hope I will be one of the lucky ones in the audience that day, but even if I'm not, I'll be watching and celebrating along with you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Gloria

Hello Ellen,
Just want to say thanks so much for having such a great show. I'm temporarily (I hope) unemployed and have had the opportunity over the past few weeks to enjoy your show each afternoon. It's refreshing to see you and your audience have such good clean fun. Your fabulous humor can't be related to many current comedians these days, but certainly does tie in to the classics and ever-lasting humor like that of Carol Burnette and Lucille Ball. I wish you continued success. Keep up the good work! Thanks for being you.
Regards, Nancy Oschegger

Hey Ellen...i watch your show every day here in Ontario, Canada and you always make me laugh...thanks for that. I have your stand up comedy dvd's and they're hilarious. Anyways, keep up the gr8 job you do every day on your show and hoping you have a fantastic 50th eh!!! lol

Hi Ellen- Just a correction to my previous comment I won't be 50 until August 2008, but I am almost half way there and would love to experience with you what turning 50 will be like(this could be a practice run)..Any how...Have a great 50th birthday!!!
Mary Jo...

Hi Ellen- Just happen to be off today. I have never posted a comment before and I notice that your taking entries for your 50th B-day party. I will also be 50 next year and would love to join you. Even though I make a big deal out of my kids and husbands b-day I know my husband is not the party planning type. I would love to join you for yours. Keeping my fingers crossed in cold upstate NY. Have a great holiday...
Mary Jo

Ellen I love watching you every single day, I try to never miss a single show. You always make me laugh. The best was todays show when you had to do the 30 second live commercial about the secret gift. I just cracked up laughing at the end. Its a shame that your show is in California, I am in Massachusetts and I would love to be about of show. Until then,I will and always watch you on tv. Keep being great.

Hey, You are so funny and down to earth? Love the riff-raff room, that is where I would be. Keep em laughin'.

Hi Ellen. First, I think your show is fantastic and I record it everyday. Actually, my cable went out recently and I was yelling at the poor cable man because it was smack in the middle of the time your show was on! Anyway, I'm not sure where to post this question, so I'll just write it here. I watched your REALLY BIG SHOW in November and I was wondering where you stayed while you were in Las Vegas and did you like your accomodations? My fiance, Brian, and I are getting married in April and we are trying to plan a trip to Vegas, but we don't know anyone that has been there. We don't even know where to start! Since you were there pretty recently, I was wondering if you could give us some tips or advice on where to stay and what to do (besides gamble and drink, of course!)

Thanks a lot! Hope to hear from you soon.

Kelly

Hi Ellen, I would like to wish you a very happy 50th birthday and would love to help you celebrate! I'm not quite there yet, another year to go. Remember, it's just a number.

I am a big fan of yours and watch your show every day. Loved todays show from Flagstaff. My daughter also attends NAU. It's a wonderful little town.

Happy 50th and Merry Christmas.

Teri

Dear Ellen, I wish I could have given you my recipe for the Eat and Smile til you Drop, turkey chili I make....Please let me know if you ever need this warm and yummy recipe of mine for yourself, or someone who will make it for you! Thank you always for a great warm smile each day,and a entertaining/fun show. TV networks, and viewers need that good energy......Take Care...Nancy King.

Ellen:
I turned 50 in April. It wasn't nearly as much of a shock as becoming a Grandmother a little over 3 years ago. I went for the birth, spent a week, and came back with a Harley - I guess to prove I was still "young-at-heart". What a sight - having never even driven a bike before. I took a class, and for my first solo ride, promptly forgot to put the kickstand down when getting off. It took me over, hard - cracking ribs, puncturing a lung... A real "Lucy" moment. I still have the bike - can't quite give up the idea, but haven't ridden in a couple of years.

Hey Ellen,
I turned 50 this year..... Not bad you might need a little coaching. I would love to help you celebrate but most important you will need to know exactly what is expected of you when you turn 50!! Just kidding I think 50 is better that I ever thought. I think people like yourself and me of course have and will change how people think what 50 is all about... Enjoy and keep giving joy to people everywhere.
Shelly :-)

MY SON WHO IS TWO YEARS OLD ADORES YOUR SHOW,IF ANYONE DARES TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL,HE WOLUD SAY I WANY TO SEE ELLEN.HE DANCES EVERYTIME YOU DANCE,EVEN TRIES TO WALK OVER THE TABLE,HE ALSO LOVES,NEMO,HE LOVES THE AMERICAN EXPRESS AD.HE WOULD SAY THAT IS MY FRIEND ELLLEN OR HE WOULD TAKE UP HIS PHONE I ASK HIM WHO REA YOU CALLING HE SAYS ELLEN.I WANT TO SEND A PICTURE BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW.

Ellen,

Happy 50th Birthday!!!!! I turn 50 December 18th and would love to celebrate your 50th with you as well. We would have a blast cuz I am SOOOO much fun, just ask my husband. I don't think of it as the big "50" because it's just 2 numbers, it's how you feel inside that counts the most and I don't feel 50 yet. I've always been a big fan of yours especially when you were doing the stand-up gigs. I'm so glad you have your own show now so we can see you everyday.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday too!!!!! (if I don't get to wish it in person :-)

Your show is a bright spot in many peoples day and to see you give to so many people is heartwarming.You always make me laugh and I love when you crack yourself up! Keep makin all of us laugh-We love you Ellen.
Jen Mulberry

Hi Ellen,
I love your show. We live out in the country and if I am in town running errands, I rush back home to see your show.

I appreciate your love for the little people and the fact that you have not crossed the writer's picket lines. I love the way you make ordinary people feel special and highlighting the good deeds of people across the nation.

I also love your love for animals. We have two dogs and two cats in our house and sometimes we think one of the dogs and one of the cats has OCD. They can be hilarious at times.

I have a picture of a hawk riding on the back of my dachsund into my house. I would like to attach it to this email but I'm not sure how to do that. Can you have your staff (or yourself) call and tell me how to do that? Thanks for the laughs!

Hey Ellen!
Plain and simple, your show ROCKS! I work til 4, home about 4:20ish so I catch about 40 min of the show, sometimes I peek at it at work,but don't tell anyone...LOL. I am so glad you have this show and you are sooo generous and giving plus you can really dance! I cannot but wouldn't mind learning! I wanted to let you know that I have developed a very strong interest in helping New Orleans and travelled there in May of this year, then to Biloxi, MS a week ago with Habitat for Humanity. The experience is emotional and life altering and I would highly recommend more people to give it a try, please..I cannot tell you enough just how much help is needed in NO and MS as well. Keep up the great shows, I reallly enjoy watching you and hearing the many stories you bring to light. Thank you!

Ellen you have a great show for someone who has Bi-Polar disorder, like me! I find myself laughing hysterically at your monologues, and then the next thing I know I am in complete tears before the end of the hour because you are interviewing someone with such a heart felt story. My therapist loves it - I have a daily opportunity to emote on a full range. My husband also finds there is less drama in the house when I watch your show on a regular basis. Thank you for having such a great show! Happy 50th - I hope this year is a blessed one for you. You deserve it :-)

Happy 50th Birthday Ellen. Keep on dancing. I hurry to get my errands ran so I can get home by 2:00 to see your show. Thanks for the laughs and
the way you care about people.

Ellen,

I just love your show I watch you everyday. You always keep me laughing & make my day. Thank You for being who you are! I have Muscular Dystophy, and when I watch your show it makes my day a little brighter.

P.S. How could I get a call from you, Like you call Gladis. She funny too when you call her!
My email: lalaw210@yahoo.com

Thanks
Lisa Sparapani

You are the best. Have a wonderful 50th - who would have thought it! You have good genes.

May you have many more!

Hi Ellen,
You make my day!! I can't wait until 4:00 in the afternoon to have my daily fix of laughter and Ellen! You are such a kind and special person. May you also have the happiest 50th birthday. I'm right there with you - it's not all bad.... : )

I live in British Columbia, Canada and I watch your show when ever I can. I love it. I also would like some of the recipes. Also why can't your fans in Canada enter your contests, Like the 12 days of Christmas? Thanks and we love you Ellen up here. Dorothy Keep
