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)

wanted more

I love Ellen so I was really excited to listen to this and it was really comforting to be able to hear it from her own perspective and her voice and hear all the little you know emphasis that she would put on certain things. That means sad I didn't think the content was complete, seemed a little choppy which I know is what the style was worth, I just wanted something a little bit deeper I love her positive messages and she touched on it but I could have listened to a whole book of her talking about how to be kind to one another

Ellen outdoes herself

This book is textbook Ellen. If you love listening to her insights on life and her being her goofy self this is the book for you! I loved having Ellen in my ear for the duration of this book and look forward to her future work.

Seriously! Can I get my money back?

I really like Ellen. However, this book was
A waste of my money. I didn’t even laughed once. Felt like Dory was reading the book and kept forgetting what she was talking about. Seriously!!- Ellen, I know you a super smart woman and I assume, you were force to write this book and you had no much to say.

Seriously

Being able to laugh out loud. I listen to audio books while I work. Expensive habit!! BUT, it keeps me company I have already listened to 9 or so this year. I am not a doctor but does Ellen have ADHD? Like me 🤔 her brain is on fire 🔥

Not much substance

I only listened to it as I cleaned the house and didn't pay too much attention to it. Just seemed like a lot of no truth mixed in with some truth and bothered me. I wish it was more of a truer book about her actual life or at least tell real occurrences instead of making stuff up.
