A Message from Ellen (27 April - 01 May 2009)

If my math is correct, we're coming up on our 1,000th show… which makes this my 7,439th message to you. See, kids? Your math teachers were right. You’re gonna use math all through your life.

We are having a big celebration for our 1,000th show, and we'll be celebrating all week long by looking back at some of my favorite moments! And there were a lot of moments to celebrate just this past week…

It started off right when I got to surprise my New Zealand followers. We called them up and they went to so crazy, we had to surprise them on the show.

Also, you know how I hate gossip, so I went right to the source. Lindsay Lohan was here to tell us everything that was going on.

And, in his only daytime appearance, my friend, the amazing Prince was here! If I ever go back on the road, I’m gonna have a couch on stage behind me in case I get tired.

We also celebrated Earth Day. It's important to take care of our planet, and it's just as important to take care of each other.

This week we also kicked off our 1,000 Dollars a Day in May. Every day someone in our audience will win 1,000 dollars!

That's not the only exciting thing happening this week. The New Zealand kids will be back to give us their full report on all the places they wanted to see over the weekend, including Disneyland, Wal-Mart and a baseball game. They'll have a great time as long as they remember to drive on the right side of the road.

Also, Michael Douglas will be here on Wednesday and Ryan Reynolds will be here for our 999th show.

I guess you'll have to watch every day to see which show will have a funnier moment than this.

See ya next week... Ellen
