Last year she sprung the surprise of a bonus day…heaven knows what’s in store for this year. Read on to find out what she gave during the Day 3 episode of the 12 Days of Giveaways 2011!
Day 3 Highlights and Prizes
Highlights
Wowza! Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways was certainly on steroids today. She opened the show with the comedy monologue taking a jab at the wild and windy weather in California. I can vouch for that folks, leaving my hair down means having to spend the day as Cousin It’s twin. It did not take long until she brought out some poster size portraits for a segment she’s been quite fond of lately called Hot Glam Girl. Picture people rocking epic size hair, gallons of liquid eyeliner, and “rad” 80s-90s fashion…I’ll just leave it at that.
Josh Duhamel was the guest for this episode of the 12 Days of Giveaways. Apparently he and Ellen share a mutual Thai masseuse friend. The star sheepishly recalled his experience with her and how she paid him a rather odd compliment regarding ‒ how shall I say this ‒ his dairy aire. When Ellen finally recalled who the masseuse was, she reflected disappointingly how she never received the same compliment.
The real highlight of the show was when she pressured Duhamel into accepting a high stakes game of Charades. If Duhamel did not win a round he would have to indulge the camera with a shot of him sporting a festive holiday thong that Ellen bought him. Two enthusiastic audience members were called down to team up with the two. Ellen breezed through her easy Charade clues while Josh struggled through his more challenging clues.
Being that this is daytime television, right at cruchtime, as Duhamel was preparing to relunctantly strut his stuff ‒ the 12 Days of Giveaways music began playing and the actor was let off the hook. While this didn’t really surprise me, the fakeout led to the groans of a few audience members. Of course these groans were soon drowned out in the excited screams of people feasting their eyes on the tables littered with tons of cool consoles and great gadgets.
