“Please welcome Mrs. Ellen DeGeneres”

By David Knox on September 9, 2008 / Filed Under News 9

…so said the announcer as Ellen DeGeneres returned to television as a married woman. The sixth series is now broadcasting for the first time from Warner Bros Studios and airing in Australia on Nine.

“This is the first time I’ve done the show in a thong,” she laughed, “And it’s my first show as a married lady.”

When DeGeneres, who married Aussie Portia deRossi, showed off her wedding ring she got a standing ovation.

“Who knew John McCain and I would have something in common? We both chose female running mates.”

With guests including Michelle Obama and the Jonas Brothers, The Ellen DeGeneres Show now screens hot off the satellite on all Nine stations at 1pm following The View.

Tomorrow  Ellen will feature exclusive video from her big day.

    Thanks David, so now so “Exclusive” LOL

    Great ti see Ellen, The View and ET are all finally in 16×9, looks so much better a widescreen TV. I guess Arena ia still stuck with 4×3?

    Arena shows newest ep at 10am, 3 hours before Nine / WIN.

    Are the episodes off Ellen on Arena the same as those shown on WIN?

    It airs first of Arena at 10am and The View airs first at 11am on W.

    Ellen is also in HD this season – looks great, as is The View (changed last season) and Entertainment Tonight (also from today).

    I’ll have to catch that show, BTW what delay do the eps on Arena TV have, I noticed it’s still running on there even thought ch9 is advertising “Exclusive to Nine” or something like that.
