WATCH: Ellen DeGeneres Takes Over for Letterman - Sort Of!
Prior to the announcement that Stephen Colbert would take over for David Letterman in his late-night slot, Ellen DeGeneres’ name had been tossed into the ring as a possible contender for the gig, but Ellen basically said, “Thanks, but no thanks" to late-night. Still, the reigning queen of daytime took it one step further by doing a faux late-night version of her show, replete with a cheesy bandleader and a cymbal for emphasis!
Ellen gives a slightly brilliant interpretation/skewer of the late-night format before sending heartfelt love to Letterman.
