How many times can I say “silly”?

by Lori

What is it about Ellen DeGeneres that makes stars want to act silly? I mean, it doesn’t take much to get me to act silly, but I’m not on television and I don’t have a film/television/music career to promote and protect. (Not that being silly would ruin a career or anything, but you know what I mean.) But people go on Ellen’s show and act silly for her benefit without much hesitation. Maybe that is because Ellen herself is willing to be pretty silly herself.

What does this have to do with 30 Rock you might be asking? Well here is a video featuring Jack McBrayer, perhaps better known on this website as Kenneth the Page. These celebrities are lip syncing to Glorida Gayner’s “I Will Survive” as part of a birthday video for Ellen, who celebrated her 50th birthday recently.

How silly is that? Pretty silly, but also pretty awesome and pretty funny. Jack McBrayer is great, but my favorites are Queen Latifah and Jake Gyllenhaal. But I also think it’s great that Ellen inspires a lot of people — not just the “regular” people who watch her show, but also the celebrity guests she interviews.

Here’s Ellen being silly with our favorite, Tina Fey, as she teaches her how to be a guest host on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. How silly is this?

And here is one more moment of silliness on the Ellen show. It’s not 30 Rock related, but it’s still nice, because it is both silly and touching. After hearing of Heath Ledger’s death, she showed a clip of his last appearance on her show. Yes, it was silly. But also very heartfelt and touching.

Thank you, Ellen DeGeneres. You are a friend of 30 Rock!
