Publisher's summary

With the winning, upbeat candor that has made her show on of the most popular and honored daytime shows on the air, beloved talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres shares her views on life, love, and American Idol.

"I've experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?"

Seriously...I'm Kidding is a lively, hilarious, and often sweetly poignant look at the life of the much-loved entertainer as she opens up about her personal life, her talk show, and more.

Praise for Seriously...I'm Kidding

"DeGeneres's amiably oddball riffs on everything from kale to catwalks to Jesus will make fans smile." (People)

"Whatever the topic, DeGeneres's compulsively readable style will appeal to fans old and new." (Publishers Weekly)

"Fans will not be disappointed...[DeGeneres's] trademark wit and openness shine through and through." (Kirkus)

GREAT, as always!

Have you listened to any of Ellen DeGeneres’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ellen is always entertaining. This one is every bit as good as her previous audiobooks. I wondered if it would be too similar, but I really liked this one, too. Laughter really is important, and you'll get a real lift from this book

Aaaaaaaaaaamzing!

Ellen is the kindest, most heartfelt human I’ve ever listened to..is say met, but that’s just a dream of mine. She seriously gets me through some of life’s most challenging days/nights. Ellen has made me believe there are kind people out in this crazy world!! Also, she’s made me feel that it’s OK to say NO sometimes..or even be more kind to others or even preach about being kind and pursue others to be kind!! I love Ellen, she’s such an inspiration! ❤️

Funny as always

Funny, entertaining and sometimes wacky. Just what you would expect from Ellen. Her performance of it is like listening to her tv show's monologue.

Funny but out of content

Ellen is funny and has a wonderful voice. The message is weak and not really interesting.

I was smiling throughout the whole book

A great talk about happiness sandwiched in Ellen’s sense of humor. I never thought she’d be as much entertaining as her talk show.

If you want your book to flow, this isnt for you

I struggled to finish this book. It went on many random tangents which didn't add to the story. There wasn't a flow at all. If you want a book to just have something to listen to and have a few laughs, I recommend it, but I don't for the people who like structure. I love Ellen, but I am just being honest.
