Ellen Degeneres to Co-Host Idol Gives Back

Daytime talk show host, Ellen Degeneres, is going to resume her co-hosting duties alongside Ryan Seacrest on this year’s edition of Idol Gives Back.  Ellen is a known Idol fan so I think it’s great because her enthusiasm really shows.  She’ll be hosting from the Kodak Theatre with Ryan hosting from the American Idol stage in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 9 (7:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

“Everyone knows it’s better to give than to receive,” said DeGeneres. “That’s why I want to give you some advice. You get the advice and I get the joy of giving – it’s a win-win. Here it is: Give yourself a treat and watch IDOL GIVES BACK. Again, you get the joy of giving and an amazing line-up of artists get to give us an incredible show. Last year, we were able to giveaway over $76 million. You give, you get. Get it?”
