Ellen Celebrates ‘Game of Games’ Season 4 with ‘Danger Word’!

Thank you all. Happy Tuesday. Take a sit. Thanks for being here. Oh boy. I'm glad to see you. This last hearing we had was a real... Not all of you. You seem like lovely people, the kind of people I can share good news with. Hey, listen, I have very good news, very good news. Do you want to know what it is? Yes. Oh boy. I'm not good at keeping secrets. When I have good news I want to tell it to people. And then I just... but I'm trying to drag it out. You, ma'am, right there, you, yes.

I want you to guess. Just stand up. Guess. Guess what it is. Are you coming out straight? No. No. No. Keep guessing. Oh, you're making a sequel to your 1996 classic Mr. Wrong, Mr. Wrong II, Electric Boogaloo? No, but it's a good idea. Thank you. Sit down. Okay, isn't it annoying when people say, you know, guess, and then... I should tell you because I'm excited about it? You won't be as excited as I am. Maybe you will. I think you'll be excited. I'm very excited though. OK, . I just found out that my Game of Games is coming back for a fourth

season

.

I'm so excited. I love this program so much. It makes me so happy. They are

game

s. I love

game

s. It combines all my favorite things: prizes, surprises, guys. I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't, you're missing out. Three

season

s in which we have had a lot of fun. This is some of the fun we've had over the past three seasons. Welcome to my Game of Games. He looks like a game show that went on spring break and drank too much tequila. All

games

are tested and ready to go... well, at least they're ready to go.

Oh, that's a shame. Eat. Oh, Cristobal, wow. What is it? Tell me. It's sweet, it's my favorite ice cream... favorite ice cream. Vanilla ice cream. No, but my mom makes it for me for dinner, for dinner, all the time, every day, every day. We need to talk to your mom. Ways to say hello in a different language. What's happening? (SINGING) You have to get up. You have to get up. I have to get up. I have to get up. Oh, they're terrible at this. I'm forced to push this right here. I'm very sorry. Blueberry. $100,000. Elena, I love you.

I love you too. She has left. I don't know where she went. (SINGING) I have to get up. You have to get up. You have to get up. You have to get up. You have to get up. You have to get up. I love tearing people down in a loving way. There's a new episode tonight at 8:00 on NBC. And did you know that you can even follow the show live using the Game of Games app? Is that how it works. When you're watching the show, you look for the penny on your TV screen. You scan it with your phone's camera and then you'll use it in your app's free scratcher.

First, the first winner was Kyle. He earned $10,000 just by watching television. I know. Good for Kyle. Oh, he look how small he is. Strange. We're not giving away a $10,000 check tonight. We give away two. Did you know? No, I want to give away three. Yes. No, damn it. I can't believe he's doing this, but tonight, in honor of season four, we're giving four people $10,000 cash, four people $40,000. Okay, but now I want to play a game and it's hard to choose which one because I love them all equally. It's like asking my favorite daughter, which is Karen...

I'm kidding. If she had a daughter, she would name her Ellen Jr. Let me think. Oh, let's play Dangerous Word. If you see her name on the screen, go down. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello hello. Stand here. Who are you? I am joy. Hello joy. What do you do for a living? Where does she live? I work at Disneyland and live in Orange County. Very good, and you are? I'm Emilia. I live in Anaheim and am a ballet teacher at Tutu School. Oh. And are you all friends? Yes that's fine. And you? I'm Lisa. I am from Gilbert, Arizona, and I am his mother.

And I'm very excited to be here. I'm excited to have you. And you are... I'm Lauren. I am her daughter. And I'm also from Gilbert, Arizona. Well, they both agree, mother and daughter. Okay great. Alright, so we can check each other out. Okay, you were going to play. Let's see, who likes to get dirty more? Actually? Alright. She volunteered for you. Who is better at giving...? Is Emilie going to get dirty? Ah, you have no choice. Emilie, you're getting dirty. Sit on that stool over there. Each of you will play for the side of the audience he is sitting on.

So you're playing for a really, really, really good prize. I can't say what it is. Alright, let's split the audience in half. Alright. So even if they join forces, only one party will get the prize and they won't be as friendly. OK. So, Joy and Emilie, they're playing to this side of the audience. Lisa, Lauren, that side of the audience. Alright. That's how we play. You will see two

word

s, a winning

word

and a

danger

ous word. You have to get your partner to say the winning word without saying the

danger

word. You can only use one-word clues.

And if you say the word dangerous, I will be forced to press this button and you will regret it. Okay, Lauren, you go first. You want me to say the winning word without the dangerous word. Alright. Eggs. Syrup. OK. Breakfast. Burrito. Maker. Toaster. You definitely have this. Come on. You have this. Butter. Risky. Pancake. No no no no. Oh my God. I can not see. No. That's why you have your glasses on. Very well, then listen. Why is it red? So try to remember and move on to the next one. Because then he said breakfast after saying... so that would have been... okay, now on to Joy.

Niece. Aunt. Leaves. Season. Season. Fall. Emilia. Alright, I guess you have a niece named Autumn. Yes. Okay, said niece and pointed to herself. Then her niece would be Autumn. And then she said season. No. You have no one to blame but yourself. I'm sorry. Close your mouth. Close your mouth. Okay, you have to be very, very careful now, Emilie, because... okay, they don't have strikes. One more strike and you're out. And the other side wins the prize. Alright, hold firm on this. Alright. Be careful. Ballet. Shoe. Dress. Tutu. Tutu. Rip. Dance. Leggings. Socks. Alright. Oh Lord.

I'm going to give everyone a head start getting to the parking lot. Because once these people hear what they didn't earn, this side of the audience will come back for 12 days of giveaways. They are so angry with you. Oh Lord. OK. Very good, we had fun. The most important thing is that we have fun. We'll be right back after this. You too will return. (SINGING) It's the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingling and everyone telling you to be of good cheer. It is the most wonderful time of the year.
