It's been a great week for Ellen DeGeneres--CBS announced earlier this week that The Ellen Show would get a full season pickup, and the comedian is still riding high on rave reviews for her hosting duties at the recent Emmy Awards. Her good fortune continues: Variety columnist Army Archerd reports that DeGeneres has been chosen to host this year's Saturday Night Live Christmas show on December 15. She also spoke to Archerd about the direction that The Ellen Show will take over the course of the season. "We will try to emphasize the 'fish out of water character' [hers] and show a little more between the big-city person set in the small town.... And hopefully now people will realize this is a different series [than her first]." In other good news for The Ellen Show, CBS has announced that the series will be part of its highly rated Monday night sitcom lineup throughout December. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the show will air at 8:30 p.m. on December 10 and 17 and at 9:30 p.m. on December 24 and 31. (Check local listings.)
