Thanks to her eponymous afternoon chat show, Ellen DeGeneres is now the Madonna of daytime TV, the Cher of giving away free stuff, and the Bono of awkward dancing.

But that coveted status doesn’t shield her from getting the occasional jab from a guest. It’s usually all in good fun, but there have been several big-name celebs who came for her hard and left the veteran interviewer scrambling for a retort. So break out your cringe-o-meters because we’re about to reveal some times that The Ellen DeGeneres Show got a little tense behind the tree trunk coffee table…

What did Dennis Quaid say that caused discomfort during his appearance on Ellen’s show in 2011?

Over the years, Ellen DeGeneres has interviewed countless celebrities on her popular talk show. However, not all of those interactions have been positive. There have been instances where celebrities have insulted Ellen on her own show, causing controversy and leaving viewers shocked. Here are some of the most notable instances.

Kathy Griffin:

In 2007, comedienne Kathy Griffin appeared on Ellen’s show and made fun of the host’s outfit, referring to her as a “lesbian Tasmanian devil”. The comment seemed to take Ellen by surprise and she responded with a nervous laugh. Many criticized Kathy for being inconsiderate and insensitive, while others saw it as harmless teasing.

Dennis Quaid:

In 2011, actor Dennis Quaid appeared on Ellen’s show to promote his film Soul Surfer. During the interview, he commented on Ellen’s weight, saying “you’re showing a lot of cleavage. You know what, you’ve been working out a lot. You’re looking really buff, seriously.” The comment was met with a mix of laughter and discomfort from the audience and Ellen, who simply replied with a sarcastic “thank you”.

Wendy Williams:

In 2013, talk show host Wendy Williams appeared on Ellen’s show and took a jab at Ellen’s fashion choices. Wendy said, “I know you saw this – I have to talk about it because it has been bothering me since you wore it. Please put it away. It looks like you’re wearing a pickle suit. It was not cute.” The comment received a lukewarm response from the audience and Ellen shamelessly retorted, “I don’t care what you think, I look fabulous.”

Caitlyn Jenner:

In 2017, Caitlyn Jenner came on the show to discuss her new book. Mid-interview, she made a comment about Ellen’s appearance in her memoir, which Ellen took offense to. Caitlyn admitted to being upset with Ellen for not supporting her on her transition, to which Ellen responded with a stern speech about how she has always been supportive but disagreed with Caitlyn’s views on marriage equality.

Some of these instances show that even well-known celebrities can struggle to find the right words to say on national television. While Ellen DeGeneres is known for her good-natured humor, these controversial moments demonstrate that even the most established personalities can be thrown off balance. Ultimately, it’s important to remember that all people, famous or not, should be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of whether or not we agree with their viewpoints.
