This talk-variety show features comic Ellen DeGeneres in the studio performing an opening monologue and interviewing guests who include celebrities, newsmakers and ordinary people with extraordinary talents. Additionally, segments include performances from top music acts, audience participation and man-on-the-street interviews. Music is a key part of the show, with an in-studio DJ -- including occasional celebrity guest DJs -- spinning tunes and DeGeneres often breaking out into dance moves during the show.

Laura Fries Variety The best and brightest of the new sitcoms, and an ensemble in the grand tradition of classic TV, thanks to a cast well-schooled in comedy. Jan 24, 2019 Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine There's a new nice lesbian in daytime talk (and given Rosie's courtroom showing this fall, not a moment too soon). DeGeneres' dry humor and affable-but-not-obsequious style are perfect for her morning chat slot, as is her naturally chummy casualness. Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Stephen Kelly PopMatters By the first week's end, she settled into a comfort zone that showed off her comic talent. Much like her, the show has a pleasant, cheery feel. Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Ellen's humor and engaging personality also makes the show feel relaxed and informal, even if some of the issues she and her guests are discussing have the potential of being controversial. Rated: 4/5 Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Joyce Millman Boston Phoenix Like her puppy, DeGeneres's show has teeth when you least expect it. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
