Ellen Degeneres to Co-Host Idol Gives Back

Ellen Degeneres will be resuming her co-hosting duties alongside Ryan Seacrest on this year’s edition of Idol Gives Back.  We all know Ellen is a huge American Idol fan and I’m happy she’s getting to participate again.  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?”
