From tears to spontaneous applause, Ellen’s production team is notorious for being able to curate the most realistic fake interactions on the air. The best part is, none of these people are real actors! The editing and crowd direction is so good, they don’t even need to hire actors to play these parts.
Front Row Folks Need to Do Their Research
People who sit in the front row at Ellen are subject to immediate pop culture checks that might leave your grandmother’s head spinning.
Since there are so many high profile guests, and Ellen is practically fueled by popular music that’s hot on the radio, front-row guests are required to know exactly what’s going on in the pop world. For instance, if Ellen were to play “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X, individuals in the front row must be seen either dancing or singing along perfectly. If you don’t know the song, you will be moved to the back.
