In season 15, episode 120 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, host Ellen welcomes two very special guests - Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal and singer-songwriter Kesha.

Opening the show, Ellen chats with Jake about his new Netflix movie, 'Velvet Buzzsaw,' which sees him play the role of Morf Vandewalt - an art critic who gets caught up in a supernatural mystery surrounding a series of paintings. The two discuss working on a horror movie, with Jake noting that it was a unique experience for him as he's never really done a horror project before. He also shares how he prepared for the role, admitting that he wished he could have an art critic to help him with his performance.

Next up, Kesha takes the stage to perform her hit song 'Raising Hell,' featuring Big Freedia. Ellen is clearly loving the performance, dancing her way through the song and getting the audience pumped up.

After the performance, Kesha sits down with Ellen and opens up about the inspiration behind her new documentary, 'Rainbow - The Film.' The movie follows Kesha as she records her album 'Rainbow' and faces personal challenges along the way. Kesha explains that she wanted to share her story to inspire others to keep going through tough times, because she knows firsthand what it's like to feel hopeless.

Ellen also makes sure to share some love for Kesha's fashion style, showing off a photo of her wearing a rainbow jumpsuit that she dubbed "Kesh-wear." Kesha jokes around, saying that she's trying to bring back "jumpsuit chic" and that she's always down for a good outfit change.

Throughout the show, Ellen also quizzes Jake and Kesha with some fun games. In one game, called "Jake or Fake," Ellen shows the audience a series of photos of people with beards and asks Jake to guess whether each one is him or not. In another game called "Whip Up Some Answers," Ellen gives Kesha a series of questions and asks her to come up with a clever answer for each one using only ingredients from Ellen's pantry.

To close out the episode, Ellen surprises some audience members with tickets to see Jake's new movie 'Velvet Buzzsaw.' She also makes sure to remind viewers to check out Kesha's new album, 'High Road,' and to watch her documentary 'Rainbow - The Film,' which is available to stream on Apple Music.

Overall, season 15, episode 120 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show is a fun-filled hour of entertainment with two talented guests who keep the audience laughing and engaged throughout.
