The Ellen DeGeneres Show, often shortened to Ellen, is an American television talk show hosted by comedian/actress Ellen DeGeneres. Debuting on September 8, 2003, it is produced by Telepictures and airs in syndication, including stations owned by NBCUniversal. For its first five seasons, the show was taped in Studio 11 at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. It later moved to Stage 1 on the nearby Warner Bros. lot. Since the beginning of the sixth season, Ellen has broadcast in high definition. The show has won 32 Daytime Emmy Awards as of 2011.
Episode Name: Katy Perry, Alanis Morissette
Summary: As a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, Katy Perry was in the presence of one her idols: Alanis Morissette, who was on the set to perform her new single “Guardian”. Ellen wrangled in Katy, who apparently didn’t need much coaxing, to introduce the Canadian pop-rock icon. “Ellen’s next guest has sold over 60 million albums and is one of the reasons why I became a songwriter,” Perry said. After Alanis’ performance (which was flawless, we might add), Katy ran up and hugged her, and the two shared a kiss. Awww — we just love pop comaraderie.
Morissette’s eighth studio LP Havoc And Bright Lights is due out in August.
