Ellen DeGeneres Reveals the Weird Rules That Can Get You Kicked Off the Show

No matter who you are, the contract you sign before you go on Ellen legally requires you to be prepared to dance at a moment’s notice. It doesn’t matter if you’re a former president, current president, or president-elect, you must bust a move like you’re dancing for dimes. If you refuse to dance, you will get sued. Seriously, look into it. 

Working Up a Sweat

Don’t worry about sweating through your shirt with all the dancing, Ellen keeps her studio freezing cold at all times. 

Although she has multi-million dollar lighting set up, Ellen keeps her studio’s air conditioning pumping at a crisp 65 degrees at all times. This keeps the audience and the guests awake and alert, especially when they’re bustin’ a move every 30 seconds. 

Hungry? Too Bad.

Dancing for 4 hours straight might sound like a recipe for a hungry and depleted audience, but Ellen’s production crew doesn’t seem to care much about that.
