Attention any and all Ellen DeGeneres Show guests: Watch your back!
When you turn on Ellen DeGeneres' beloved talk show, chances are you can expect some dancing, kindness and A-list stars.
But loyal fans also know that this daytime star loves to pull a prank—and nobody is safe. Whether surprising guests during their conversations or asking celebrities to pull a few tricks away from the set, Ellen may just be the queen of pranks.
And perhaps it's just one of the many reasons why she is so deserving of a special award at the 2020 Golden Globes.
This weekend, the Hollywood actress and comedian will receive the 2020 Carol Burnett Award from The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"From her sitcoms, to stand-up, to becoming a household staple on daytime television, she is a pioneer who has captivated audiences for nearly 25 years with her undeniable charm and wit," HFPA previously shared when the news was first announced. "In addition to her television success, she's an advocate and philanthropist, lending her voice to those who don't have one, and spreading kindness and joy through the power of her platform. We look forward to celebrating her achievements at this year's ceremony."
