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

Fans have been kicked out of the studio for sneaking snacks in. There is absolutely no food permitted in the studio audience whatsoever. This includes individuals with medical conditions. These individuals will be removed from the audience to have their snack or insulin, and then returned during the next commercial break. 

No Nuts, Even in Line

The only time you’re permitted to fuel up before the show is when you’re waiting in line with all the other fans.

However, there is a strict tree nut ban that requires all patrons to remove any nutty item they have from their person before they even think about entering the studio. Since tree nut allergies are so popular, this is a legality issue that Ellen doesn’t even want to consider dealing with. 

Everybody Has to Be in Synch

Before every taping, the production crew encourages each row to create their own group dance, on top of requiring them to make individual dances for themselves.
