It was a fake DJ booth.

He's not a DJ.

And I took it away because we're trying to keep it real,

up in this mother.

That's--

00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:13,650 That's right.

I'm fire and lit.

So do you want to know what you're sitting behind today?

Yes.

Well, Zenor, show him.

OK.

Oh!

00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:32,838 For my birthday, some people have people jump out

of a birthday cake.

But I want you to jump into it.

Oh, OK.

So you will be in the birthday cake the entire show.

Love it.

00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:51,390 There you go.

Yeah, it's good.

Kind of makes you miss the DJ booth, doesn't it?

Yeah, a little bit.

That's what I pictured.

Yes.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

But happy birthday.

This is, look--

I will be in a cake for you, Ellen.

I will do it.

This is awesome.

And also, you know what?

I have a surprise for you too.

One of your friends actually made a nice little video

surprise for you.

So check this out.

All righty.

Happy birthday Ellen!

My dear, dear friend.

I've always thought we have so much in common,

like we both stay fit.

We both believe in the power of women and girls.

And we're both authors, although my books have sold more copies

than yours, like a lot more, not that it's a competition,

because it's not.

But if it were, we know who'd win.

But seriously, Ellen.

I love you.

I admire you.

You are one of the most generous,

the most kind, the most inspiring person that I know.

You inspire and touch every one you come in contact with,

including me, and this week, as we

are once again reminded that each day is a precious gift.

Barack and I are sending you all our love,

all the birthday wishes that you can imagine.

I hope your life continues to be filled with joy and laughter,

and so, so much love for many, many years to come.

I love you, babe.

I love you too.

I love you a whole lot--

and Barack.

Thank you.

That's so sweet.

That's amazing.

Are you comfortable?

I'm trying to find--

You seem to be sinking.

--the cool pose.

It's hard to do--

Don't try to find a cool-- no.

It's hard to find what to do with my arms with this.

No, this isn't it either.

Don't look for a cool pose.

There's not going to be one.

There's not going to be.

Look.

Even though today is my birthday show, I don't want any gifts.

But if you want to make me happy,

you can watch my brand new episode of Game of Games

tonight.

Tonight's a really good one.

All the contestants are twins.

And here's a little sneak peek of one of the games.

Hands on the table, this is for possibly $100,000.

Yes!

Ready, set, and go!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Come on!

Come on!

Not me, not me!

00:03:28,486 --> 00:03:28,986 Whoa!

00:03:34,890 --> 00:03:37,350 Woo!

[SCREAMS]

00:03:41,286 --> 00:03:42,270 Oh, my God!

00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:49,110 Game of Games airs tonight at 8:00 on NBC.
