Ellen DeGeneres is the host of one of America’s most popular talk shows. She is hilarious, entertaining, kind-hearted, and always there to give a helping hand. Ellen doesn’t just use her show to entertain, she uses it to donate money and make the world a better place. I decided to dedicate this article to all of Ellen’s best appearances, and I guarantee each of them will bring a smile to your face.

1. Macey Hensley

Macey is easily my favorite person that Ellen has had on the show. She is an 8-year-old presidential expert, and she was only five the first time she appeared on Ellen. She is one of the most hilarious and adorable guests of all time.

2. Noah Ritter

Noah is another adorable kid who appeared on Ellen. He is so laughable. Noah first became famous when he was interviewed on a local news station and not long after, it went viral.

3. Military homecoming

Ellen does a lot of military homecoming surprises, but I think this one is my favorite. This couple is so sweet and their reunion will bring tears to your eyes.

4. Michelle Obama

Ellen took the former first lady, Michelle Obama, shopping at CVS to prepare her for life outside of the White House. Ellen’s goal was to teach Michelle how to shop for herself, and the outcome was absolutely hilarious!

5. Ellen's never-ending scares

One of Ellen’s favorite things to do on the show is scaring her guests. This video is a montage of all her best scares. You’ll be laughing so hard you’ll cry.

6. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks and Ellen have a “Pixar-off” where the two of them talk in their Pixar voices, and let me tell you, it’s magical. Hanks always knows how to put a smile on my face.

7. A blind and deaf teen who isn't giving up

Marvin's story is incredibly inspiring. Although becoming blind and deaf at a young age, he has never given up. He is defying all odds by playing football while also inspiring others. His positive attitude is contagious.

8. College acceptance brothers

Growing up in tough times has not stopped these two boys from working hard and getting accepted into their dream colleges. Their stories will inspire you to work harder and realize that nothing is impossible.

9. Spelling teacher prank

I’m sure everyone can appreciate teachers for all of their hard work. But, a teacher who goes the extra mile to make his students laugh and his classroom feel like a safe space is very special. This appearance is not only hilarious, but it’s heartwarming, too.

Her positive attitude is contagious and every guest she has on the show is unique. Whenever I'm feeling down, I always love to watch a few videos on Ellen's channel. Now, maybe you will too!
