JIM CARREY
There is really no way to describe my friend JIM CARREY. He’s one of the funniest and most genuine people I know, and when he’s around, I just can’t stop laughing! He’s on the show today and I have no idea what to expect. He’s in the new Disney movie “A Christmas Carol,” and I’ve heard he’s been doing some interesting publicity for it. I guess I’ll find out when he’s here. Also today, I’ll play one of my favorite games: Blindfolded Musical Chairs! And since Dough-vember is starting, I’ve got a great new way to give out cash to my audience -- with a cannon! Then, the gorgeous FAITH HILL is coming by to tell me what’s been happening since she was last here. She just released a new fragrance, “Faith Hill Parfums,” and will tell me all about it (I know there are notes involved -- or I may be thinking about her music again). Her husband, Tim McGraw, was on the show last week -- they just celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary. I’m not surprised they’ve been married so long, he’s a smart guy -- he told me he doesn’t even bother fighting with her since he knows he’ll lose!
Tuesday, November 3
MO'NIQUE
You may know MO’NIQUE as a comedian, but she will bring you to tears in the powerful new movie “Precious,” with her absolutely amazing performance as an abusive mother. I just can’t stop talking about this movie -- it is so moving and so sad. Today she’s here to tell me all about it. There is already talk about Mo’Nique being nominated for an Oscar, and I think it would be well-deserved. Then, on this season of “The Biggest Loser,” there is an amazing woman named ABBY RIKE. She lost her family years ago in a horrible accident, and she finally decided to start taking care of herself. She is so inspiring -- last week she volunteered to be eliminated so her teammates could keep going. Now she’s here to tell me what it’s been like. Also, with over 80 million YouTube views, a song on the pop Top 20, and signing with Usher, you’d have no idea that my next guest was only 15! JUSTIN BIEBER is the newest teen sensation and will be making his television debut on my show today when he performs his hit song “One Time.” He also has a huge following on Twitter. I know for a fact -- they’ve all been tweeting me to have him here!
Wednesday, November 4
MARIAH CAREY
By now you probably know I love the new movie “Precious.” If you didn’t -- you do now! Everyone in it is absolutely amazing, and many of them are in a role totally opposite their public image, including MARIAH CAREY. You will barely recognize her! I can’t wait to hear all about the experience. She’ll also be telling me about her brand new CD, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” Then, I recently read a book by JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER called “Eating Animals,” and I just had to share it with you. He’ll be here to talk to me about his experience writing it. In the book, he evaluates his own attitudes about nutrition and diet, and examines the attitudes society has about eating meat. He found out some amazing facts that you might not know about your food, so you’ll want to hear what he has to say. Also, this season I decided to feature some of the dancers from “So You Think You Can Dance,” so after this week’s elimination, I’ll have the contestants right here.
Thursday, November 5
AMY POEHLER
I love my next guest so much, I had her here for my birthday show last year! I can’t stop laughing when AMY POEHLER is around. Her show “Parks & Recreation” is hilarious, and I’m sure she has some fun stories about it. Her son, Archie, just had his first birthday; I hope she threw him a big party! Then, you know the funny FRAN DRESCHER from “The Nanny.” Now she’s started her own all-natural skincare line and will be showing it to all of us. As a cancer survivor, she’s donating a portion of the proceeds to her Cancer Shmancer Foundation. Also, you know I love games, and I have a brand new one to show you. If you thought Deep Dish Dig was crazy, and if you loved Sumove-it Move-it, then you won’t believe what I’m doing today. It’s literally the biggest game I’ve done so far! You’ll have to watch today to see what it is.

PAMELA ANDERSON
Whenever PAMELA ANDERSON is here, I know something crazy is going to happen! In the past, she’s done flips over my furniture and stripped down to a bikini. Who knows what she’ll do today? One thing I do know -- she’ll tell me about her new perfume, “Malibu.” There are actually two fragrances, one for “elegant nights” and one for “playful days.” Obviously, I’m wearing both. Then, we all know that kids are our future, so today I’m giving you a glimpse of our future gadgets when I welcome some kid inventors. They’ll be showing me their amazing new inventions, so don’t miss it!
