21 Ellen Show Moments That Made Us Smile, Laugh, or Cry — or All of the Above — in 2018

Though it's been an unpredictable year, we could always count on Ellen DeGeneres to make us laugh in 2018. Between revelatory interviews, beyond ridiculous games, and surprises of all kinds, The Ellen DeGeneres Show has really been at the top of its game.

Our affection for the talk show is also underscored by the recent revelation that it won't in fact go on forever. (Who knew!) In a recent interview, Ellen admitted she had her doubts about extending her contract, and has thought about ending it sometime in the near future. For now, however, the show isn't going anywhere, as Ellen ultimately signed on for two more years. As proof of how lucky that makes us all, please enjoy some of the best moments from the show in 2018 ahead.
