Be my guest

Those who have been here a while know that I love it when certain guests come on Elle DeGeneres’ show. Allison Janney in particularly, but Emma Thompson worked that pole like a pro. But now, well, now there may be a new rival for my affection in the Great Panted One’s guest chair. And that someone is Melissa McCarthy. Now my love for Melissa is no secret. I’ll say it loud and say it proud. But the best way to really appreciate her is to see her in action. Not just her films, though come on if you haven’t seen her in “Bridesmaids” I seriously fear for your mental health, but also her overall persona which is fun and honest and flat-out hilarious. She comes off as real, which is what she is. And a real funny lady is something the world could always use more of, sitting next to Ellen or not. So here is a little taste of the funny business that ensues when Melissa and Ellen get their chat on. I can’t wait for her to come back after the Oscars. Oh yeah, and about that, I don’t know about you but I can’t get enough of the sound of Academy Award nominee Melissa McCarthy.
