If you're a viewer of the show "Ellen," you may want to try and spot me. This past Tuesday, we went to a taping of the Ellen DeGeneres show. It was alright. The guests were Paris Hilton for the May 6, Mother's Day Episode; then for the regular taping, they had Penny Marshall and Rob Morrow. I know, I don't know where you'd know them from either. Actually, Penny Marshall is either Laverne or Shirley, one of the two. And Rob Morrow is the guy from the show NUMBERS and NORTHERN EXPOSURE. The guests themselves were pretty boring. They were all full of themselves and the only good part of the show was when they compared pet pictures to celebrities. How it works is, you send in a picture of your pet and then Ellen decides which celebrity most resembles your pet and then hilarity ensues. Our seats were located in the "Tom Hanks Rif Raff Room," that is the room for all the people that had tickets but could not get seats. What they do is: they always give out more tickets than they have seats for in order to ensure a full house. Usually, if you do not get a seat you are out of luck and you just wasted a couple hours of your life waiting in line. But, the ELLEN show provides you with a room to chill and hang out while you watch her show on widescreen tv's. It's was an interesting experience. They encouraged people to dance and shout. Seeing older people dance is not fun to me, so I mostly just sat in the back. A cool thing is that they gave us tickets to come back! Yay! So now I get to do this all over again. We'll be attending the Monday, May 2 taping. Which I think will air Tuesday, May 3. Of course I'm not really excited to go back, all these girly, talk about your life shows, just don't do it for me. But eh, it's something to do on our day off. Plus, we received a copy of "Meet the Fockers" on DVD the first time, I wonder what we'll get the second time.
