My big announcement!

Happy to announce, that as of this date, April 1st, I will become the president of Ellen DeGeneres Productions. After meeting with Ellen and determining that we are absolutely on the same page creatively, we agreed to work together.

My first assignment is to retool ONE BIG HAPPY and make it more like MASH. It turns out Elisha Cuthbert’s character was in the Army Reserves and is called to active duty in Afghanistan. And coincidentally, Kelly Brook was in the British Reserves and is also deployed to the same base as Elisha. And Nick Zano tags along because… well, I haven’t worked that out yet. This is just my first day.  But look for this new direction beginning episode seven. 

I do have my first great joke. Elisha says, “This must be V-Day.” Nick says, “Victory Day?” And Elisha says, “No. Vagina-Day.” Am I the right guy for this job or WHAT?

Also, as part of my duties I will be filling in for Ellen hosting her show while she goes on vacation or continues her campaign to become a judge on THE VOICE.

Mark it down – April 1 – the day Ellen DeGeneres and I change comedy forever.

  7. Yes the dancing needs work.
    Ellen is like Clint Eastwood. They make good TV. Happy April Fool dudes.

    And remember writing scripts is about passion, life, destiny and talent and writing genes. Forget what readers say.

  8. LouOCNY,

    Did you know that the greatest director writer in the world (Orson Wells) had the greatest April Fool show ever. Why would this not work today?

  9. Remember when newscasts used to report big phony stories on April 1st? Then they discovered they were overestimating the intelligence of the American people.

  17. Since Ellen is on broadcast television, here are some tips to get better reception: make sure your antennas are clean! Dirty antennas do not work as well as clean antennas. Dirt, bird poop, and other detritus block signals from reaching your antenna and then your radio. A quick rinse from the garden hose will loosen most of the crud but a good annual wax will make this a moot point. Be sure to use a good, high-quality wax specifically formulated for receiving antennas. Automobile wax will work but since it is formulated for painted surfaces it will not adhere as well as antenna wax.

  18. I haven't fallen for the antenna wax gag since 1957.

  20. Hey, think you can give Brian Williams a cameo in the Afghanistan scenes? I hear he's available and has actual combat experience.

  21. I'm going to today's taping (4/1) with guest star (scheduled) VAN HALEN so I'll be sure to ask Ellen if this is true! Show airs 4/2.

  22. Jokes on you. V-day is a real thing among feminists now.

  23. Well, I don't care what anybody else says. I'm just glad to see that Ellen is willing to hire the elderly.

  24. Nick Zano can start wearing a dress.

    At least for the first 5 or 6 seasons......

  25. 6 a.m. 4/1/15 - the first V-bomb of the B100@40 speeches, which BTW are still going on at Pala. Thanks Ken for being the World's Best Emcee.

  27. Well, if you can fill in for Marilu, I'm sure you could fill in for Ellen.

    It was an obvious choice. Who else would I hire to fix "One Big Happy" than One Big Hippy? Welcome aboard Ken.

    PS: Tell me more about this "Radar" character...

  29. Once again...

    "YOU a FUNNY guy!"
