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:
Hehe, Happy April Fool’s Day!
Ha Ha! You are a funny woman. 😉
You had me. I was looking all over for the actual interview. Too funny. You have a great sense of humor…….loved it. =)
oh my gosh katie, i totally believed you and was so happy for you haha! i honestly don’t think it’s far-fetched at ALL for ellen to invite you on her show, and i hope she really does one day! your recipes are so creative and healthy and with ellen being a vegan herself, i think she’d appreciate your blog!!
OMG Katie!!
you fooled me!
lol
You are crazy clever! I really was fooled and even tried to justify why Justin seemed to tower over you in that picture.
Oh man, you’re the worst! Actually I’m the worst, I fall for every April Fool’s prank! Although JT did look a little waxy to me!
OMG Katie.. I”m so happy for you. I love Ellen, I hope you let us know which day it airs so we don’t miss it. This is so exciting.. Will you be cooking on the show? I still have to make one of your famous recipes you keep raving about, the chocolate pie on the about me page. Looks so goooooooooood. 🙂
Congratulations! This was the first April Fool’s trick that I’ve really fallen for all day, haha! 🙂
You are so funny! My whole music department actually just went to New York over spring break, and one of my band directors tried to pull the same trick on us. He said “look who I met!” Love Madame Tussaud’s.
