The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Ellen, Coconuts, Will Smith and the Robot, OH my!

Hello Everybody---

I have the most amazing news ever. I went to the Ellen show today.   Here's the VIDEO~

I had so much fun!

Will Smith was there!!!!!<<-----I honestly had to contain myself. He is not only beautiful on film...... he is ALL THAT in person too!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so funny! The way he speaks so highly of his love for his family, he's been married 10 years to his wife Jada and LOVES LOVES LOVES his family! I love that he mentioned how he is constantly working to be the best husband, father, friend, actor and more. He was so much fun to see in person! One thing I really admired about him was during the commercial breaks, he went out into the audience and hugged, shook hands with people. You could tell the 'makeup' people wanted him to come back to his chair and he was just having a blast with the audience! He also grabbed the mic and sang my all time favorite song. MIAMI. WOW, I can't even explain the energy in the room, everyone was on their feet, rapping the song along with him, dancing in the aisles. If you've never been to a taping of the Ellen show, you are MISSING out. It's one big dance party! From beginning to end. If you are a stick in the mud, this is NOT THE SHOW for you! Be sure to tune in on Monday (NBC) --You will see us

in the audience and you'll definitely see me ON STAGE winning a trip to Hawaii. I played the Coconut game and won on the first shot! BAM!!!!! with ONE SHOT!

I have skillz. Popping my collar right now. Thank you very much!

Disclaimer: I was so excited at the end, I broke out and did the Robot dance, I am going to apologize ahead of time. I was caught up in the moment, hopefully they'll cut that part out! Hah!

Can you believe this? I still can't believe it---I won a trip to Waikiki, Hawaii for 4 people. My family and I are finally going on a vacation! Can you believe this? The show will contact me with the final details, all I can remember after I jumped up and down was the trip will include: 7 days 6 nights at the Embassy Suites. Please, pinch me. I feel like it's all a dream! I need advice, what is there to do there? I am so happy!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!

Don't forget, tune in on Monday (NBC) to see the show. Please, TiVO it and send me a copy of the tape too. Please?????????? Ohhh wait.........Did I mention, Will Smith was there? He is so fine (don't worry my husband knows) Hah!!!

I shook Will Smith's hand (when do you think would be a good time to wash it?), gave Ellen the biggest hug ever, and most of all, I won tickets to Hawaii. Am I dreaming?
--PINCH ME!

That is amazing! Congratulations!

We love Ellen and Will Smith too! It sounds like you had an amazing day and Hawaii! That will be so much fun! :)

Lissete said...

OMG! How exciting is that??? I LOVE Ellen! We have been requesting tickets since the beginning and we still have not been lucky. Except for an Orlando show, which is just not the same as a studio show. And Hawaii! What a blessing! I have Ellen programmed to my DVR so I definitely will be watching and telling my husband that I "know" you!

Rhonda said...

THIS IS LIKE WAY BEYOND COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shannan said...

I totally watch Ellen every day so I will be so proud to see a person I know (kind of know through blogland). That is fun!!

Congrats on the trip. How hard was it to get tickets? Just wondering?

Aly Cat 121 said...

You go gurl!!! Don't trip about the "robot" LOL. One can not be held accountable for their actions during moments of PURE JOY. I'm happy for you. Lawd knows my ain't had no vacation since 1995, LOL.

How did you end up at the Ellen Show? I've always wanted to be on a talk show.

Zoe said...

OMG! how cool is that!!! i have never been a huge will smith fan but he was so freakin hot in i am legend that i have changed my mind. that body is smokin! hawaii!!!!

Sheena said...

My advice: tell Ellen you need accommodations for 3 more of your family members!

I hope I can catch the show, I'm so not good at TV watching + I'm pretty much nocturnal!

If they cut the robot dance you know you gotta make a video, you and DJ bustin a move, lol!

SimplyB said...

This is awesome news. I'll be tuning in especially to see that dance! LOL

Jenna said...

Holy Cow! You are like famous and everything. I will have to TIVO.

Someone I know is famous. Well, someone I kinda know. In the blogging world. Nevermind, now that you're famous you can just pretend you don't know me.

pixie4bears said...

Congrats! You are one lucky lady! I love that Miami song too. That trip should be super fun! I cannot wait to read all about it here.

Sheliza said...

Congratulations to you!! I do not know how you manage to win everything! I know your family is so excited. Dwayne said he is so happy for you and wants to know the secret of how you are always winning stuff! He said some lotto numbers would be nice!

The McKoys are going to Hawaii!!

1stopmom said...

Oh my god, Will Smith!! I absolutely love his fine self! Congratulations. Oh yeah, glad you won the trip too. But actually meeting Will and touching him. I just can't stop smiling for your. I love him and Jada. That is why son's middle name is Jayden. Yes, I am a little stalkerish. Do not ever wash that hand! I will be tuning in to watch Ellen. Congrats again.

Salesdiva said...

Congratulations! How Awesome! Here are a couple of ideas of what to do....
1. Climb to top of Diamond Head (its a national park)
2. Visit the Pearl Harbor Museum
3. Visit the Dole Pinapple Plantation and play in the maze
4. Take surfing lessons (my kids loved it)
5. Visit some beaches (at least one of the top 10 beaches in the world is at Waikiki)

Have a blast!

Believer 1964 said...

Okay, so you saw Will Smith in person, but the icing on the cake is you're going to Hawaii with your family! Congratulations!

DivineLavender said...

A vaca to Hawaii! What a day!

Yolanda said...

Wow talk about an AWESOME day!! I can't think of anyone who deserves a fantastic family vacation more! Can't wait to see your pictures from your Hawaiin adventure (and where are the pics of you and Will?)

Nerd Girl said...

GIRL! I hadn't been on here in a while - I was just watching TV and was like "I know that lady from somewhere . . ." then I heard your name! Then I saw you win a trip to Hawaii! How awesome is that?!? Enjoy your trip. I am so excited for you! Now about that robot . . .

GeckoGirl said...

Congrats! I know you'll have a great time in Hawaii. I second SalesDiva's suggestions. I would also suggest heading up to the North Shore where all the best surfers ride. If you get a chance, check out one of the luau shows. They can be expensive but you can e-mail me for some 'tips' on how to find them cheaper. Also, get water shoes. Waikiki is a man-made beach and the sand turns to coral not far from the shore and coral cuts. I sliced open my foot. Not fun.

I just watched Ellen. You were Hilarious! Congrats!

Fergie said...

OMG!!! That was so funny. I was on the floor laughing. The producers were rolling. They could not believe you got it in on the 1st try. WOW!!! Ellen will be playin that clip, over and over. It made for great television.

AWESOME!!!

Babs said...

Awesome, Tanyetta! I can't beleive you got it in the first shot! And I was so happy when they said it was a trip for four! Now your kids can go too!

Sissy said...

Congratulations to you and your family! What a wonderful gift - I'm so happy for you! Unfortunately I didn't get to see the show but I'm hearing rave reviews. Word on the street is that YOU SO ROCKED the Ellen show!

I can't wait to see the video clip.

~*~Tia~*~ said...

Congrats on your winning a trip to hawaii :)

I currently live here now
make sure your family goes to the north shore and go to a shrimp truck and have shaved ice

and drive around hawaii kai its so beautiful out there

and go to the NEX by Pearl Harbor its the BOMB!

If want/need any more suggestions on things to do feel free to e-mail me

also be sure to hit up the ITR(i dont know what the other branches call it) to get tickets to the events its much cheaper!

The Mistress said...

Fuck I missed it! Didn't check my email yesterday so I didn't see your message til today!

Shit!

Bet you were awesome in your television debut though! :-)

Tania A said...

WOW! Congrats you are too cool. But, I have to admit I'm going to watch just to see the robot at the end. You know that is going to follow you every where!!! You will be in Hawaii and they are going to say, "hey, I saw you on Ellen doing your thang!!" How exciting, I must say you are living a charmed life. Keep it up!

denise said...

I was searching Google for footage of you winning and found your blog! What a world we live in. Congrats on your win. You had me crying I was laughing so hard when you made the first shot. Ellen looked SHOCKED! Hopefully someone will post the video, it was priceless!

Leigh said...

Congrats on a trip to Hawaii, that's beautiful man! How exciting.
