What better way to spend your day than with Ellen's friend HARRY CONNICK JR.? Ellen saw him last year when she delivered a commencement speech at Tulane University, and stuck a sign to his back for most of the day. Ellen can't wait to see him again, but this time she won't have him try to dunk anyone. Last time didn't go so well. Also, Ellen has loved having the cast of the movie "Precious," on the show, and today PAULA PATTON will be here to talk about it. She is so inspiring in her role, it is one of the most moving films.
