  • March 17, 2009

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the Emmy-winning star of "Veep" and "Seinfeld," and comedian Andy Samberg are this episode's guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The show starts with Ellen DeGeneres joking about her own struggles with technology and then transitioning to Julia Louis-Dreyfus's appearance. DeGeneres and Louis-Dreyfus reminisce about the time they both played softball on the same team in Los Angeles. Louis-Dreyfus shares stories about her time at Northwestern University, where she met her husband, and then talks about the final season of her hit show "Veep."

Next, DeGeneres describes the New York City Marathon, which Louis-Dreyfus recently completed. Louis-Dreyfus talks about how she was inspired to run the race after being diagnosed with breast cancer and getting the all-clear from her doctors. She also shares how she trained for the race and how it felt to complete such a difficult feat.

The discussion then turns to Andy Samberg, who joins the two women onstage. DeGeneres asks Samberg about his life as a new father, and he talks about how having a child has changed his perspective on life. Samberg also shares his thoughts on the importance of family and friends.

DeGeneres then moves on to Samberg's new movie "Palm Springs," which he co-stars in with Cristin Milioti. The film is a time-loop romantic comedy, and Samberg talks about how much fun it was to make. Louis-Dreyfus chimes in to say that Samberg is a "very funny man," and they all laugh.

The next segment of the show involves DeGeneres playing a game with Samberg called "Andy's Happy Thoughts." In this game, DeGeneres reads out tweets from people who are having a bad day, and Samberg responds with something positive. For example, one tweet reads "I'm having a bad day at work," and Samberg responds with "Hey, at least you're getting paid."

The final segment of the show features Louis-Dreyfus playing a game called "Veep Visions," in which she has to guess quotes from her own show. DeGeneres reads out a quote, and Louis-Dreyfus has to guess who said it and in which episode. She is incredibly successful at this game, even remembering quotes from episodes that aired more than five years ago.

Overall, this episode is a fun and lighthearted look at the lives of three talented performers. The guests are engaging and entertaining, and DeGeneres is her usual charismatic self. Fans of Louis-Dreyfus, Samberg, and "Veep" will love this episode, as will anyone looking for a good laugh.
