In "Ellen's Even Bigger Really Big Show", the comedian will intro a slate of fresh talent that includes magician Hans Klok, celebrity impressionists and more. As host, DeGeneres will also perform her own stand-up comedy. She will also take part in taped vignettes, among them a segment where she crashes the celebrity impressionist show as an Ellen impersonator.
The Variety Show will be taped on Thursday, Nov. 20, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and will air on TBS Saturday, Nov. 29
At last year’s edition of The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, Emmy-winning comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres wowed the crowd by presenting a super-sized variety show that combined her signature comedic style with a massive collection of performances.
This November, she’s back with an all-new showcase of extraordinary performances from around the globe.
Taped for a TBS special, the show will feature performers hand-picked by DeGeneres from several countries, including Spain, Russia and Germany.
The unique performers and acts, many never before seen on American television, include award-winning magic sensation Hans Klok, celebrity impressionists, dancers, musical acts, comedy skits, to name just a few.
The curtain will rise at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. (PT), with the show premiering on TBS Saturday, Nov. 29, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT)
“We decided to bring the show back to Vegas because the first act we booked is a ‘brother-sister pole act,’” said DeGeneres. “Apparently Vegas is the only place where you can get away with something like that.”
