Ellen DeGeneres celebrates the 2,000th episode of her daytime talk show
Ellen DeGeneres celebrated the 2,000th episode of her daytime talk show Thursday (12 November) and was surprised by Jennifer Aniston and Justin Timberlake.
During her monologue, DeGeneres revealed that since the show’s debut in 2003, she has had 859,200 people in her audience, had 8,302 guests on and 1,445 bands and has danced 136 miles.
‘I’ll tell you something, if someone had told me I was gonna make 2,000 shows, first of all, I would’ve asked for a lot more money,’ DeGeneres joked. ‘I would have said, “You’re crazy.” 2,000 is a lot.’
At the time DeGeneres launched the show, her career was suffering. She had come out publicly as a lesbian in 1997 and later that year, ABC canceled her self-titled sitcom. She returned to series television in 2001 with the sitcom The Ellen Show but it only lasted one season on CBS.
The show has won 53 Daytime Emmy Awards so far and has been renewed through 2017 which will be its 14th season.
