About this listen

With the winning, upbeat candor that has made her show on of the most popular and honored daytime shows on the air, beloved talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres shares her views on life, love, and American Idol.

"I've experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?"

Seriously...I'm Kidding is a lively, hilarious, and often sweetly poignant look at the life of the much-loved entertainer as she opens up about her personal life, her talk show, and more.

Praise for Seriously...I'm Kidding

Easy-to-Listen, Fun and Entertaining!

This is not your typical autobiography. Ellen talks about a few different life topics with an open heart and soul. She's a very kind and compassionate person, and that's what she teaches in the book as well.

I'd encourage you to listen to this book if you're looking for something light and pleasant.

love Ellen not the book

I had to take multiple breaks from the book. Its like being in her head... I would not recommend or read again.
I did laugh a couple of times but it was all over the place, didn't flow and was unfocused

It's like hearing a book by Dori

In true Ellen D form this book is fun, light and full of ramblings only Ellen could pull off. An easy read/listen to pass the time. Enjoy!

Awesome listen

I listened to this book and absolutely loved it. Ellen’s authentic and raw humour was the perfect way to jazz up my commutes and learn about her unique experiences. I would definitely recommend!

I love Ellen.

I just love Ellen so much. This is a funny quick read/listen to. Quirky, sarcastic, makes you laugh out loud. It's not a tell all memoir or anything like that, simply some interesting thoughts and ideas.

Definitely exactly what I needed for a light, funny, uplifting read. I would recommend for sure. 😊
