When people ask me to describe
my executive producer Andy,
one word comes to mind,
really just one word,
and that's "average."
[LAUGHTER]
And it's why I love
sending him out
into the world to
learn how to do things
from his highly
trained professionals
that he hooks up with.
And this year, the LA Rams
are allowing male cheerleaders
for the first time ever.
So I said, well,
Andy, you should
perform with them on the field.
Go learn the thing.
And so please enjoy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
He's an executive producer
on the Ellen show.
He works hard every day.
[LAUGHTER]
He's super duper
awesome at what he does.
But he's average
in every other way.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We're the Los Angeles
Rams cheerleaders.
[LAUGHTER]
And I'm Andy.
[LAUGHTER]
Good?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And 7 and 8 and 1, 2,
3, 4, move to the beat.
I have to do all this?
Now, everyone, face front, good.
You're now getting pumped.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Andy, I'm John.
How do you do?
How are you?
Please help me.
I'm going to help you.
[LAUGHS]
All right, everyone,
four lines, quick, quick.
1, 2, then you're going
to start your lawnmower.
And 3, 4.
2, hit, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Now, we walk.
So here's where we're at.
I'm feeling very nervous.
I would say I'm uncomfortable
with everything that requires
movement to be honest with you.
6, roll your neck,
it's gonna hurt.
Whip it, 1, 2, 3, and watch
the wave, 5 and 6 and 7 and 8.
No matter what--
I feel like the cheerleaders
are in better shape than me.
I feel like they work
out more than I do.
I feel like they're more fit.
I feel like I'm out of
place in so many ways.
How long's the whole bit?
What is this one, a minute-10?
Oh, OK.
This one's a short one,
minute-5, minute-10.
OK, OK, yeah, I'm like in the
minute, minute-10 range usually
too.
OK, good.
[LAUGHTER]
You got me feeling hella good.
So let's just keep on dancing.
3, 4, good, Andy.
That was good.
[CLAPPING]
Lot of clapping.
Turn to the front, 5 and 6.
[CLAPPING]
All right.
You know what Ellen never does?
What's it?
Give me this kind
of encouragement.
[LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Do you think it'll fill up?
Because I'd be a
lot happier if this
was pretty much the turnout.
[LAUGHS]
So this is my emotional
support daughter
Erin who came with me today.
I begged her.
All day yesterday I said we
have to rehearse the dance.
She was waiting.
She made no plans the whole day.
And I just kept pushing
it off out of nerves.
And I never ended up rehearsing.
She knows the entire dance.
Yeah.
4, turn around and clap on 8.
5, 6, jingle bells
and a T, clap,
get your knee, walk around, 1.
You guys, he's
literally so nervous.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What?
You're gonna go get changed.
What, I guess it's all in here.
It's all in there.
All right.
Hi.
Yeah, no, I feel
great about myself.
[LAUGHS]
How unflattering is it?
[LAUGHS]
Oh my god, you can
like, see stuff.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't know how
to-- what to do.
I don't either.
[LAUGHTER]
How do you hide it?
[LAUGHTER]
Oh god, this is all I have to
worry about now is my wiener.
[LAUGHTER]
It is a gorgeous
Sunday afternoon
in Southern California.
The 3, 2, and 1, Packers rolling
in to take on the LA Rams.
[CHEERING]
Oh god.
I'm nervous and I'm
in a straight-up panic
because it turns out people
come to football games.
[LAUGHS]
I haven't danced
since my bar mitzvah.
Help me.
Remind me something.
Tell me something good.
We're behind by 7.
We need this.
OK, got it.
The Rams needs you.
They need me.
They need you.
OK.
And that should be the final
play of the opening quarter.
Be ready.
Oh my god, the quarter's over.
I know.
This is now?
It's now Go, go, go, go.
Oh god.
[LAUGHS]
Oh god, help me.
Come on, Andy.
Yeah, Andy.
All right, here we go.
[CHEERING]

What happened?
What just happened?
Bye!
I feel so encouraged.
All right, I think we're going
to turn the game around now
with that.
For the LA Rams, 29-27 win.

[APPLAUSE]

really, really, really average.
Thanks to Andy.
Thank you to the LA
Rams cheerleaders
for taking such good care
of my little tiny dancer.
[LAUGHTER]
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you
to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more
awesome videos, like videos
of me getting scared or
saying embarrassing things,
like "ball peen hammer" and
also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities if
you're into that sort of thing.
[SCREAMS]
[BLEEP]
God [BLEEP]
