Who would you rather have on your side in a crisis? Chrissy Teigen or Ellen DeGeneres?
That’s the question we have to ask after Ellen’s return to daytime TV on Monday, in which she interviewed Chrissy in a video call where each spoke from quarantine in their own homes.
We have to say, the star of Chrissy’s Court would definitely be more fun! During the interview — for which she chose to remain in her house robe and nothing else — the supermodel momma drinks wine, plays with her dog, and gets surprisingly emotional.

Speaking about the effect of the coronavirus pandemic, she laments:
“This is honestly unreal. Obviously, this is the most unreal situation ever, but of course we’re holding up fine. It’s just been an unreal, surreal experience for our family and everybody out there. So, yeah, it’s pretty crazy.”
Chrissy then opens up about a convo she had with Ellen’s producer Andy Lassner in which things got a little more emotional than they expected:
“Andy and I were talking yesterday, and we officially decided it was definitely getting to us a little bit. We became more emotional about it. It became very real. It was kind of a weird, it happened really fast… It’s fun to be light-hearted and make jokes and try to make people happy and laugh about it, but then it really hits you and you go through these ups and downs. What we’re going through right now is unprecedented, and it’s unreal.”
With hubby John Legend at her side, she also offers her hope for the future:
“If we can emerge from this just having this newfound love and respect for our fellow human, that would be such a beautiful, wonderful thing… Because I know when we’re able to be in contact with people again, I’m going to be so emotional and it’s going to be such a beautiful thing to be able to touch people’s hands when I laugh at what they’re saying, or touch their faces, or give my dad a hug. It’s gonna be a beautiful experience. So if we can at least come out of this and change a bit, I think that would be a really wonderful thing.”

As for Ellen? Well, she has something to share about the state of the world as well.
She begins her opening remarks by saying:
“I wanted to start doing my new show as soon as possible, because it’s really for people who are stuck at home, especially my staff and crew. I love them. I miss them, and the best thing I can do to support them is keep the show on the air.”
Awww! She also sort of reiterates her mission statement for he show — and why it’s more important now than ever!
“I’ve always wanted to have this show as a distraction, as a break from whatever’s going on out there that may be unpleasant. So, if you’re feeling down, I want to lift you up. If you’re feeling trapped, I want to set you free. If you feel like you’re going in the wrong direction, I want you to back that thing up.”
Ha! Good to have you back, Ellen!
