‘Saturday Night Live’ Cast Member Kate McKinnon Meets Ellen Degeneres

kate mckinnon ellenOne of the new fan favorite cast members to come out of SNL these past few years is featured player Kate McKinnon. The improv actress has made quite a name for herself since debuting on the long-running sketch series, showcasing impressions such as Jodie Foster and Edie Falco. That said, lets take a look at her very first talk show appearance ever thanks to Ellen DeGeneres, a stand-up comic she too impersonates. It was some good stuff as the sitdown included talk of the Saturday Night Live audition process and a scheme her mother had that would allow her to meet Ellen long before making it big. Part two of the conversation consisted of McKinnon busting out her impersonation of the host much to our delight Continue Reading

Diane Keaton Talks Tantric Sex and Her New Movie on ‘Ellen’

Diane Keaton took to Ellen this afternoon to follow-up her Leno appearance from the night before. She acted very much like herself which was fantastic as she took on tantric sex and her new film The Big Wedding.

Jennifer Aniston Talks ‘Friends’ Reunion on ‘Ellen’

jennifer anistonThe Friends reunion seems to be all that anyone could talk about today and how it would not be happening. Interestingly enough, Jennifer Aniston got a whiff of the fan spirit for such an occasion on Ellen today where she taped a segment airing tomorrow. I am not sure what she is promoting but she does have a comedy coming out in August called We’re the Millers. Several celebrities have visited the daytime talk show in recent weeks to promote their summer projects as Ellen does not air originals during those months. Instead, they opt to replay timely appearances like the one made earlier this week by the cast of Grown Ups 2. Continue Reading

Cast of ‘Grown Ups 2′ Impersonates Each Other on ‘Ellen’

grown ups 2Because Ellen airs repeats in the summer, it is was worth the Sandman’s efforts to take to the daytime talk show before the end of the season to promote his new movie. The comedy is called Grown Ups and it will not be out for another three months. Nonetheless, this is a brand that is very good to him as the original made over $200 million in 2010. You can tell his expectations from who he brought along with him to the interview, fellow cast members Salma Hayek, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, and David Spade. Continue Reading

Ted Danson Talks Aging and ‘Cheers’ Reunion on ‘Ellen’

ellen danson cheers reunionHot off a contract renewal for the long-running CBS procedural CSI, Ted Danson took to Ellen to talk about a few things all while being a little jet-lagged. For starters, he talked about being 65 and how staying in the public eye helps the audience cope with how much older he looks. That eventually went into the obvious (pictured above): a Cheers reunion with everyone minus Woody Harrelson and Kelsey Grammer. The sitcom ran from 1982 to 1993 on NBC where it was at one point the most-watched show in America. Continue Reading

Ellen: Steve Carell Explains Why He’s Not Going Back to ‘The Office’

steve carell burt wonderstoneSteve Carell visited Ellen this week to promote his new film The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.  Ultimately, his appearance was another opportunity for the actor to shoot down rumors of his return for the final episode of The Office airing in May.  The explanation from the Evan Almighty star is (and it does make sense much to our disappointment) that his character has run its course and now it is time to say goodbye to the rest of the cast.  While a few-second-long cameo may be possible, fans of the comedy series should definitely not be anticipating a lengthy appearance from Michael Scott in the run-up to finale. Continue Reading

Colin Farrell Chats ‘Winter’s Tale’ Horse On ‘Ellen’

total-recall-colin-farrell1Last night we saw Colin Farrell on The Tonight Show explaining his bizarre hairstyle, and today audiences got to hear a little bit more on the project that he did it for: Winter’s Tale.  This is a period project from Akiva Goldsman with Will Smith, Russell Crowe, and other notables that is currently filming.  The effort has the Fright Night actor riding a horse which was a major topic of conversation when he stopped by Ellen.  Watch for Farrell’s ridiculous hair, stay for the sexual innuendos.  He was on the program to promote Dead Man Down which releases in theaters next week.

Kristen Bell Stops By ‘Ellen’ to Promote ‘House of Lies’ and Feed a Sloth

hit and run kristen bellKristen Bell was on Ellen this week promoting the on-going second season of House of Lies.  She said nothing of note about the series, but the reason we take notice today is because last year when on the show the actress talked about her full-on sloth meltdown.  This time, we get to see her actually re-live the moment by meeting Lola the sloth.  How crazy is Kristen Bell about sloths?  She actually knew there was one named Lola in the LA area. Continue Reading

Ellen: Mark Wahlberg Refuses to Watch Showtime

mark wahlberg broken cityMark Wahlberg is still out promoting Broken City as he took his press tour to Ellen this week.  In a segment taped yesterday, he talked about a number of things including his toe surgery and losing at the Golden Globes yet again.  On that note, he still has not seen Homeland as the series is a ratings competitor for Boardwalk Empire.  To be fair, when you talk about 2 million viewers per episode, they are not really competing as much as they are with say The Walking Dead–an actual time slot competitor with Boardwalk that routinely finds over 10 million sets of eyeballs.

Jimmy KimmelBecause Jimmy Kimmel booked Ellen Degeneres to do his show on Monday, he had to do a quick pit stop on Ellen this week where he debuted something he likes to call “The Baby Dance.”  It is exactly how it sounds.  Here is the footage from Friday’s show where the host challenges America to give up Gangnam Style in favor of something literally anyone can do.

Timothy Olyphant Promotes the Return of ‘Justified’ by Giving Ellen Underwear

timothy olyphant justifiedNot many guests show up on Ellen with a gift, but Timothy Olyphant is not like many guests.  The Justified star is probably one of the better appearances that a talk show can land, and the actor proved that this week by giving the former Oscar host something pretty memorable at the top of the interview: name brand underwear.  Perhaps the best part of the segment though was the actor railing on his children who do not seem to get how cool he is which is unfathomable.  Anyone who has seen Raylan Givens in action would know that, and that as why seeing a daytime appearance to promote the fourth season premiere of Justified is a very good thing in our book.  Hit the jump for the footage and one of the show’s latest teaser trailers.
