Thanks, everybody.

Happy Tuesday.

Have a seat.

Thanks for being here.

Oh, boy.

I'm glad to see you.

This last audience we had was a real--

[GROANS]

[LAUGHTER]

Not y'all.

You seem like lovely people, the kind of people

I can share good news with.

Hey, listen, I have some really good news, really good news.

Do you want to know what it is?

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

I'm not good at keeping secrets.

When I have good news I want to tell people.

And so I just--

but I'm trying to drag it out.

You, lady, right there, you, yeah.

I want you to guess.

Just stand up.

Guess.

Guess what it is.

Are you coming out at straight?

[LAUGHTER]

No.

No.

No.

Keep guessing.

Oh, are you making a sequel to your 1996 classic Mr.

Wrong, Mr. Wrong II, Electric Boogaloo?

No, but that is a good idea.

Thank you.

Sit down.

OK, isn't that annoying when people say,

you know, guess, and then--

I should just tell you because I'm excited about it.

You're not going to be as excited as I am.

Maybe you will.

I think you'll be excited.

I'm really excited though.

OK, [INAUDIBLE].

[APPLAUSE]

I just found out that my Game of Games

is coming back for a fourth season.

[CHEERING]

I'm so excited.

I love this show so much.

It makes me so happy.

It's games.

I love games.

It combines all my favorite things-- prizes, surprises,

you guys.

I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't, you've

been missing.

Three seasons that we've had so much fun.

Here's some of the fun we've had the past three seasons.

Welcome to my Game of Games.

It looks like a game show that went on spring break

and drank too much tequila.

[SHOUTING AND SCREAMS]

All the games are tested and ready to go-- well,

at least they're ready to go.

Oh, that's a shame.

Eat.

Oh, Christopher, wow.

What is it?

Tell me.

It's sweet, it's my favorite ice cream-- favorite ice cream.

Vanilla ice cream.

No, but my mom makes it for me for dinner, for dinner,

all the time, every day, every day.

We need to talk to your mom.

Ways to say hello in a different language.

Wasup?

(SINGING) You gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

Gotta get up.

Gotta get up.

Oh, they're terrible at this.

I am forced push this right here.

I'm terribly sorry.

Cranberry.

[SCREAMING]

[INAUDIBLE] $100,000.

Ellen, I love you.

I love you too.

She's gone.

I don't know where she went.

(SINGING) Gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

You gotta get up.

I love knocking people down in a loving way.

[CHEERING]

There's a brand new episode tonight at 8:00 on NBC.

And did you know that you can even play along live

with the show using the Game of Games app?

Here's how it works.

When you're watching the show, you

look for the penny on your TV screen.

You scan it on your phone's camera,

and then you'll use it on the free scratcher on your app.

First, the first winner was Kyle.

He won $10,000 just for watching TV.

I know.

Good for Kyle.

Oh, look how tiny he is.

Weird.

Tonight we're not giving away one $10,000 check.

We're giving away two.

You know what?

No, I want to give away three.

Yeah.

No.

Dammit.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but tonight

in honor of season four, we're going to give away four people

$10,000 cash, four, $40,000.

All right, but right now I want to play a game,

and it's hard to pick which one because I love them

all equally.

It's like asking my favorite child, which is Karen--

I'm kidding.

If I had a daughter, I'd name her Ellen Jr. Let me think.

Oh, let's play Danger Word.

If you see your name on the screen, come on down.

[SCREAMING]

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi, hi.

Stand right here.

Who are you?

I'm Joy.

Hi, Joy.

What do you do?

Where do you live?

I work at Disneyland and I live in Orange County.

All right, and you are?

I'm Emilie.

I live in Anaheim, and I'm a Tutu School ballet teacher.

Oh.

And y'all are friends?

Yes.

OK, good.

And you are?

I'm Lisa.

I am from Gilbert, Arizona, and I'm her mother.

And I'm so excited to be here.

I'm excited to have you.

And you are--

I'm Lauren.

I'm her daughter.

And I'm from Gilbert, Arizona, as well.

OK, so you both agree, mother and daughter.

OK, great.

All right, to verify each other.

OK, you were going to be playing.

Let's see, who likes to get the messiest?

Really?

All right.

She volunteered you.

Whoever's better at giving--

huh?

Emilie's going to get messy?

Oh, you have no choice.

Emilie, you're getting messy.

Go sit down on that stool over there.

You're each going to be playing for the side of the audience

you're sitting on.

So you're playing for a really, really, really good prize.

I can't say what it is.

[CHEERING]

All right, so let's split the audience in half.

All right.

[CHEERING]

So, even if you came together, only one side

is going to get the prize, and you're

going to be not as friendly.

OK.

So, Joy and Emilie, you're playing

for this side of the audience.

Lisa, Lauren, that side of the audience.

All right.

Here's how we play.

You'll see two words, a winning word and a danger word.

You have to get your partner to say the winning word

without saying the danger word.

You can only use one-word clues.

And if you say the danger word, I'll

be forced to push this button, and you'll be sorry.

OK, Lauren, you're going to go first.

You want her to say the winning word without the danger word.

All right.

Eggos.

Syrup.

OK.

Breakfast.

Burrito.

Maker.

Toaster.

You've got this, definitely.

Come on.

You've got this.

Butter.

Risky.

Pancake.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, my goodness.

I can't see.

No.

That's why you have the goggles on.

All right, so listen.

Why is it red?

So try to remember, followup with the next one.

Because then she said breakfast after she said--

so that would have been--

all right, so now we go to Joy.

Niece.

Aunt.

Leaves.

Season.

Season.

Fall.

Emilie.

All right, I'm assuming you have a niece named Autumn.

I do.

All right, she said niece and pointed to herself.

So her niece would be Autumn.

And then she said season.

No.

You have no one to blame but yourself.

I'm sorry.

[INAUDIBLE]

Close your mouth.

Close your mouth.

All right, you have to be very, very careful now, Emilie,

because--

all right, they have no strikes.

One more strike and you're out.

And the other side wins the prize.

All right, stand on this.

All right.

Be careful.

Ballet.

Shoe.

Dress.

Tutu.

Tutu.

Rip.

Dance.

Legging.

Tights.

[CHEERING]

All right.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to give you all a head start to the parking garage.

Because once these people hear what they did not win,

this side of the audience is coming back

for 12 Days of Giveaways.

[CHEERING]

They are so mad at you.

Oh, my God.

OK.

All right, well, we had fun.

The most important thing is we had fun.

We'll be right back after this.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Y'all are coming back too.

(SINGING) It's the most wonderful time of the year.

With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you

be of good cheer.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
