Sorry for the lack of new posts lately… It has been a CRAZY weekend!
As I mentioned a few days ago on the blog, my world was turned completely upside-down last week when I received an email from a writer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, wanting to know if I was interested in being a guest on their “15 Minutes of Fame” segment.
!!!!!
Was I interested? Were they kidding?!
I stared at that email over and over again, thinking there was no way it could be real. And even now, I still can’t believe it actually happened!
On Wednesday night I flew to California, and the next morning a car took me to the Warner Bros. Studio, where I was met by a wonderful lady (named Sandy), who first gave me a quick tour of the studio. I followed her in a daze, and when she introduced me to Ellen, I don’t even remember what I said. I was so nervous!
The segment was taped in front of a live audience: we talked about the blog, about chocolate, about being vegan, and about Ellen’s favorite dessert in the whole world. But I’m not going to tell you what her favorite dessert is… you will have to wait and find out when the show airs. 
After the interview, they led me backstage, and Justin Timberlake—also a guest on the show—was standing right there in front of me! (Was this real life?) I almost screamed… or maybe I really did scream. Yikes embarrassing. He didn’t have time to chat (a good thing, because there’s no way I would’ve said anything coherent at that point), but he was kind enough to pose for a quick photo:
If you are the type of person who doesn’t usually pay attention to the date, and if the waxy perfectness of Justin Timberlake’s skin in the above photo didn’t immediately give it away, you might want to check the date at the top of this post. It should clear a few things up.
Link of the Day:
Oh my gosh I totally believed it until the end… Hilarious!!!!
Wow! That’s so cool, Katie! I’m sure you did great! I can’t wait to se your segment!
oh gosh, I’m so easily fooled! Goodness! Hahah!
Totally fell for it! Nice one! 😉
I’m pretty glad this was a prank. I kept thinking “why does her face look weird in that first picture, and why does JT look kind of nasty?”
Hahaha! Very clever! Ellen’s show will happen one of these days, I’m sure! 🙂
oh no! I am so bad at April fools – were you FOR REAL on Ellen Degeneres show? I’m much too gullible for my own good!
IKR!? I am way to gullible. ( most of the time i hope. 🙂 )
oh my gosh i was totally fooled until i saw the face in the first pic. Justin timberlake still looks real tho. :0 i am waaaaaaaay to gullible sometimes!
Hahaha, good one! I was staring at the pictures thinking “What the heck is wrong with my computer? Whyyyyyyyy do they all look so weird?” I keep forgetting the significance of today!
Someday you’ll be on Ellen for real. 🙂
YOU GOT ME GOOD! lololol!!! i do hope you somehow make it on the show, that would be AWESOME!! keep doing what you do!
Haha — you totally had me!
Well, another episode of Gullible’s Travels for me. The reason so many started out believing is because it COULD realistically happen. Since Ellen’s vegan, she certainly could be interested in one day having a successful vegan blogger on her show.
