We're just a day away from Ellen DeGeneres taking her place behind the
American Idol judges table and hopefully a Hollywood week full of people who can
actually sing. Just because we've reached imminent countdown time (you
all have an Ellen to
Idol countdown clock going right?), doesn't mean
that there still isn't time for another sneak peek of the comedienne.
This week's clip seems specifically made to allay the fears of folks
who think Ellen will spend all her time cracking jokes, rather than
judging. The 30 second clip shows Ellen critiquing as much as cracking
wise. I have to admit, the clip worked on me. I'm eager to see Ellen
and her brand of compassionate humor and quick wit step behind the
table tomorrow.
