The one time Ellen forgot Katy Perry got married
Perry is one of the celebrities who defended DeGeneres, but according to Billboard News, the 62-year-old forgot Perry had been married to Russell Brand before. Here's why it's awkward: DeGeneres gifted Perry wedding items on her show when she and Brand were together, but that seemingly slipped her mind, making it awkward for the audience and Perry.
Nicole Kidman vs. Chef Giada De Laurentiis
Degeneres hosted both Kidman and De Laurentiis on her show but the two seemingly poked at each other awkwardly as everyone just smiled through the segment. The celebrity chef was making what looked like meatballs with risotto, however, she was struggling to get DeGeneres and Kidman to perfectly form their balls. When Kidman came through, after the chef said DeGeneres' looked like "dog food," she insulted the actress saying "the woman who can't cook made the perfect ball"
There was obvious frustration between Kidman and De Laurentiis, even DeGenres seemed to stand her ground a few times, but the segment was only beginning. Towards the end, the pizza they all made, Kidman shot back with, "It's a little tough" as she insulted the chef.
When Ellen called out one of her audience member and put her in Ellen "Jail"
DeGeneres decided to put a table of free Ellen items from the gift shop outside of the studio one day as audience members walked in. She encouraged everyone to take one item only, however, one woman took a few. Little did everyone know at the time, there was a hidden camera that recorded the woman taking multiple items. When DeGeneres awkwardly called her out, the woman named Nancy said that because her sister couldn't come, she wanted to take something home for her as well. However, DeGeneres didn't take kindly to it. Instead, isolating the woman by sending her to a chair she referred to as "jail." This, of course, caused an awkward feeling among audience members and viewers.
When Ellen gave audience member a computer
DeGeneres called out one of her audience members after the woman's mom entered her in a contest. Prior to calling Amy down to the stage to sit next to DeGeneres, the comedian read a letter written by Amy's mom. In that letter, she mentioned that Amy's paying her entire way through college and even donated blood for six months to pay for a new computer. Her mother ended the note by saying she was not able to financially help her daughter, who wants to be a dentist, and schooling is costing her around $50,000, so she was hoping DeGeneres could help.
When Amy sat down, DeGeneres was about to announce a potential check for so much, however, staffers awkwardly said on-air that wasn't the case. Someone ran up to DeGeneres and whispered in her ear, and DeGeneres asked "what does that mean?" she awkwardly announced that Amy would be given a computer.
When Ellen mispronounced Hasan Minhaj
As one of her guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hasan Minhaj was ready to get the facts straight on how to correctly pronounce his name. After DeGeneres said she was a huge fan of his, she incorrectly said his name then followed it up with saying that everyone pronounces it that way. So he decided to call her out and say it correctly.
