Leave it to Ellen DeGeneres to come up with the perfect collision of things we love with this video in which she helps Minnie Driver audition for Downton Abbey. Of course, Minnie hasn’t seen the scene and she’s forced to speak in multiple accents, flap her arms, and bark like a dog, but that’s pretty much business as usual on Ellen’s show.
Ellen and Minnie are pure gold together, but we’re not about to tell the writers/producers that Downton’s moved well into the 1920s at this point.
Watch Ellen make a corseted Minnie do things.
