This week on Ellen...

CHRIS ROCK
CHRIS ROCK’S stand-up is one of the funniest you'll see. We've both voiced classic cartoon characters. He was a zebra. I was a fish. Now the zebra's got a sequel. (Are you listening, Disney?) He’s hilarious on the show today! Plus, ELIZABETH BANKS is such a delight and she's one very busy lady! Elizabeth keeps appearing in film after film after film! Last year, she starred as Laura Bush in “W.” and then made a porno in “Zack and Miri!” (Talk about your acting range!)

JENNIFER ANISTON
JENNIFER ANISTON is one of the biggest stars in the world, and she's also a very good friend. (She was my first guest on my very first show!) Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox stopped by the old "Friends" set when they visited me this season. This could be Jen's turn! And she’ll tell me about turning the big 4-0! Plus, multiple Grammy-winner STEVIE WONDER is gonna perform two of his greatest hits… live! You’ll have to tune in to find out which ones he chooses!

SIMON BAKER
I start the show by making a phone call to The White House -- and I get through! Then, you’ll also see an audience member ride an object that’s 14 feet high, and I’ll show you some amazing videos I found on the web that I know you’re gonna love! (Ever seen a fox jump on a trampoline?!) I’ll be joined by SIMON BAKER -- and you’ve got to see his new glasses! He also tells me that he wants to be a U.S. citizen, so we play an American-themed version of my favorite guessing game, “Celebrity”! Plus, MIRANDA COSGROVE is one of the biggest stars on Nickelodeon and I’ve got a huge surprise gift for her! (And I mean physically HUGE!)

BROOKE BURKE AND DEREK HOUGH
BROOKE BURKE & DEREK HOUGH are going to Maaaaaambo! Their dance moves are magnificent! (Arguably, they’re even better than mine.) Plus, you will not believe what KATE WALSH wears on my stage! Kate also tells me about a trip to Vegas that involves a bachelorette party, memory loss and something Kate calls “tired hookers." (Her words, not mine.) Plus, EMILY BEAR is a brilliant pianist. In the past year, she performed at The White House -- and she’s only 7 years old! (She not only met the President, but also… The Jonas Brothers!) Emily has written a song just for me, and it will blow you away! Then, we dunk a famous hunk and play an extra-spicy version of Naughty Musical Chairs!

JOHN MAYER
I have always wondered what it would be like to sing a duet with an incredible partner in front of millions of people… and who knew that JOSH GROBAN would make my dream come true?! Plus, I sing “Just Dance” in the bathroom with JOHN MAYER! John also tells me a terrific story about why he literally has only the bottom half of his Song of the Year Grammy… and Alicia Keys has the top! We then play a special version of my favorite guessing game, "Celebrity"! And stay tuned, ‘cause LADY ANTEBELLUM will perform “I Run to You”! And I’ve got a very big surprise to present to the whole band! (Here’s a hint: It’s definitely worth its weight in gold!)
