According to said website below:
Meat will be a guest on the ever elusive Ellen DeGeneres show.

Mel and I have been tweeting her since HCTB's launch to have Meat on her show. However, I think Celebrity Apprentice has all to do with his appearance. Regardless, he's going to be on and I'm so excited.

thanks for the great news:D can't wait... to bad he wasn't on there for HCTB

Wish he were there for HCTB, we tried, we really did. I tweeted her daily when it was launched. So did Mel. I don't think it was for lack of Meat Loaf wanting to do it....just the suits didn't make it happen ya know.

Thanks Suzie and Vicki, finally he's on a show we get here!!!!! :cheer:

Carole

Thanks to you both! This is awesome news!

You're both very welcome .. and thanks Suzie for posting the news here :-)

Thank Yooouuu :) :)

Whoooo hoooooooo! About freaking time.

Wow Meat's on Ellen. It should be a wild interview in my opinion. He'd probaly do a duet of Dead Ringer or something like that. But since Ellen loves to dance, you'll probaly see Meat up busting a move or two. :lol:

David Spade on the same day. That is cool; I'll actually be tuning into this one. I have no issues with Ellen, I just dunno if I want to hear her sing ;)

If this was a world that went my way; I would like to see Meat and band do a kickass live rendition of Peace On Earth. That song is seriously up there in prime Meat Loaf music. I rarely have been listening to much else. Just alot of 'Hang Cool' and those old new Steinman recordings. I'm not ready to admit I have a problem; but my poor cousin he must hear the name Meat or Steinman at least 3 times a day :)

its funny david spade is on the same night.

meat and chris farley looked so much alike.

Farley R.I.P.

Can someone please advise which channel the Ellen show is on? cheers.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I suppose it would depend on where you live and what your CSP is. (cable service provider)

I won't be able to get it until nearly a month or two over here, if not longer. So I'll be hoping Wario will put it up on You Tube for me. :yep:

Thanks in advance Chris. ;)

This will happen. Followed by a copyright reminder ;)
But hey while I'm making predictions,
HCTB will have another video featuring Jack Black.
Aand, Meat won't win the Celebrity Apprentice because Donald gave Meat his chair so he can run for president.
Paul will dye his hair green.

I'd like to see it Orange :D

That is GREAT news! I love Ellen! Good work girls - I'm sure you had something to with it :-)

Doesn't look like I'm gonna get it at all where I am, so you will have another grateful fan if you put it up on You Tube Chris! :)

Cool - really like Ellen.

In what way is she elusive though?

Thank you to Vicki for the great find and to Suzie for posting it. i cant wait!

Probably in the way we've been hassling her to have Meat on the show for ages I think she Suze means.

:yep: Thanks Mel. We have been diligently peppering her Twitter and FB pages, nicely of course...trying to be creative in different ways so she'd at least take notice. However, any response from the show was elusive to us. I'm just happy he is going to be on. I really like the Ellen show, I think she is funny, I think Meat and Ellen would feed off of each other's quick wit. No matter how he got there, I'm just excited he's finally going to be on.

Me too

What time does the show come on?

I'm fairly sure it's shown on the Diva channel if you have Sky. Not sure how far behind the US we are though. Just keep checking listings I suppse.

I do have Sky, but I don't seem to have the Diva channel! Do you know what the channel number is?

Its 269 hon but it seems to have stopped showing the Ellen show and its just showing Oprah show all day every day lol!!

Thanks Vicki & SuzieQ for the heads up, on Meat being on the Ellen Show this thursday. :)

J. xo

3:00 PM EST

You're welcome :))

thanks so much

You're welcome :-) It should be very interesting :))

In my area Ellen is on TWICE in one day. 9:00 am Eastern time on what is ABC's channel 5 out of Boston and then at 3:00 pm on NBC Ch 10 out of Providence. Of course I am going to watch it both times!

Suddenly I'm less disappointed it's a channel I don't get .. :lol: :lol:

Caryl

Not sure if this is viewable for overseas.

http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2011/05/...may_5_2011.php

Well I managed to watch it ;) Sweet, even when they do play that ep here in Aus, I still won't see it because that horrible thing called work is on at the same time, but I am sure I will catch a clip around here somewhere.

Thanks for posting the preview Suze

Excellent clip .. thanks for posting the link Suzie :))

Here's hoping someone puts it up on You Tube then! :pray:

womt be me. I will miss it and my dvr is full and needs room for thissunday's three hour epic.

Don't worry Lisa ... I'll make sure you get to see it :wink:

All this time I've been saying I won't get to see it..... I will, its on at lunch time here, and then at 5 on another channel.... those in Aus, am I right in thinking seeing as it still hasn't aired in the US, we will actually get it tomorrow? If so, thats brilliant because thats my RDO!

Not a very good interview. They threw me off right before I came out. They showed the Gary thing again , they were not suppose too.
M

That's not cool.

Since they had Gary on the show it's seemed she's sided wih him, thats very low of them.......

That's not a good introduction at all.....why would they do that? :(

It works on my computer. Hopefully that means that the episode will be on the website to watch.

(If not I'm sure I can find a way of watching it)

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping Mel, he wasn't on today and I hope we are only one day behind. It's on Channel 9 at midday and then repeated on Gem at 5.00pm.

Carole

Sorry they did that to you Meat, that sucks. It was't very fair of them.

Carole

Yes, a poor show .. and not inconsistent with hosts who prefer to discomfit their guests rather than get the best out of them. I think it's old news and pretty much put into a less "Wow!!" perspective by NeNe's outburst last Sunday. But Meat, you'll carry on doing what you do best, will win some as when you were on Jimmy Fallon's show, will get stuffed by some, sadly .. but you'll still be more newsworthy for your great achievements long after Busey has run out of steam .. and will be remembered more for the rock legend you created, and longer than a catty chat show host imo

Caryl

Yeah well based on Meat's last post I don't think I'll hurry home from work, I'd rather go to the pub after work or do my mothers day shopping than watch it.... I'll catch it if someone posts it I guess.

Happy Thursday, meatie peeps !
 

I like Ellen's show. I haven't visited the UK forum for some time and didn't know until yesterday Meat will be on today's episode. I'm sorry, Meat, that you are unhappy with what happened.

I DON'T like Donald Trump or any show with which he's involved, but I am watching CA because you are on there. There's no way I'd be watching any other way. (okay, maybe if they roped in Vincent D'Onofrio or Johnny Depp... lol ... ) Continued good luck to you and your charity ... xo

I'm sorry to hear this Meat ... unfortunately it's all about the ratings :(

IMO the producers of the show think that people would rather hear about the "incident" AGAIN than hear about how great Meat is doing on the show. That's part of the reason I thought the George Lopez interview was brilliant .. yes he brought up the "incident", but they were able to make a joke out of it and was able to put Meat at ease right away. It just goes to show that George truly likes Meat, and is a better talk show host than a lot of the other ones out there.

Yyyyyyyyeeeeaaahhhh......

They gave fscking kristy alley a half hour..... and you 10 minutes? I call bullshit. What a jip, honestly. Pissed me off, as i love her show. Sucks to see you treated like that.

But its like you said meat, "you gotta have a backbone"... and the producers of her show dont have one.

Too bad. I told you nothing good would come out of that. The Busey thing overshadows all the other stuff

People thought Meat was an insane nutjob in the 1970s and it never seemed to do him any harm. At least people are talking.

Watched the interview this morning. On the plus side, Meat looked good and held his own against Ellen. And some good news came from the interview.
I usually find Ellen humorous and very engaging with her guests. I was definitely less than impressed with her interview skills today. I couldn't tell if she was competely intimated by Meat or if she had been swayed by others in her opinion of him and was less than enthusiastic to be talking to him. At times he almost had to tale control of the interview.
I hadn't read what was posted here b4 i watched it, however after reading Meat's post, the whole tone of the interview now makes sense to me. it sucks that he was treated that way by the show.
The good news: Even as Ellen was trying to cut him off when he was trying to talk, he said something like "Now I need to finish what I am saying" He was talking about the song Standing In The Storm that we know he is recording with John Rich, Lil Jon and Mark McGrath. He said that it is supposed to be released NEXT WEEK on i-tunes and the proceeds will be going to their repective charities. Can't wait for next week! we get new music and a chance to help his charity = win, win!

Meat should take note of.... Oh wait a minute .. $20,000 for the children helped by The Painted Turtle, a book published with royalties going to the same charity, Standing In The Storm out next week with proceeds to Painted Turtle and 3 other charities .. and I'm expecting another win by Meat with another cheque for Painted Turtle .. seems to be some good to me ;)

And as Lorenzo says .. he's acted crazy before and it's never stopped that train :-)

Caryl

And that's what it's all about Cathy ... the song is going to be released for charity on Itunes :)) A great song for some very worthy causes !! Let's just hope :pray: that they'll be able to sing it on the live finale.

NENE's behavior last week made her look like a 2yr old in comparison to Meat telling Gary not to "F***" with him.

The only reason these jerk off's make a bigger deal out of Meat's argument than Nene's tantrum is simple.......

Meat is a CELEBRITY

Nene is NOT.

I don't like Ellen....or her checkered shirt and TIE. :twisted:

Only watched to see MEAT, and if he was told the Busey "thing" would not come up....they LIED, and I despise Liars.

Meat, again, takes ownership...but I beg to differ that he is a "moron".

Kar

That's exactly right Caryl, at the end of the day the big picture is Meat has made a lot of money for his charity, and will have made more when he wins another task and that single gets released.

Carole

I'm glad he held his own, And I am really disappointed at Ellen....have a total new opinion of her now after the way she's treated Meat.

Wow next week! Woo Hoo!

Thanks Vicki. It sounds like it was a bit of a let down in the end. :( I'd still like to see it though.

I feared the worst when I read this, but you came across great, Meat! I'm sure you would rather have talked about other things, like your new movie about to come out, but you did get in a mention of Standing In The Storm :) And I think it was really good that you had the opportunity to tell the truth about the paints, even if you weren't planning on talking about that. You were confident, relaxed, likeable, just great! ..and who knows, maybe they get Ellen in China ;)
-Kathy

:up:

To be honest I didn't think the interview was too bad, Meat ajusted well, given he wasn't expecting the whole interview to be about THAT moment....

Yes .. plus

Meat is almost invariably gracious with those around him, and skilled in handling his interactions wth others. He is grounded, quick witted, funny, articulate, usually pretty equable, only lost it for a brief minute when pushed beyond his endurance, and was clearly upset with himself that he had.

NeNe (who I have to say I think is honest at heart, and not calculatingly devious like Star) seems to be a product of her environment, honed and encouraged by the reality show where she found her "fame". She takes offence at almost anything, could be offended in an empty room, and appears to be constantly compelled to "Tell it like it is!!!" in loud, emotive, colourful and language calculated to offend, and for which she feels no sense of shame or embarrassment at all. The shock would be if she failed to launch a sustained verbal attack over some perceived slight in every episode.

Caryl

I think you handled the interview well Meat. Hopefully people can move forward and stop beating a dead horse with the Gary thing. It is so old... I wasn't surprised that they showed it, very disappointed. :roll:

Hang tuff big guy. :-)

Shea

I absolutely agree Shea :-)
Vicki

I saw this on YouTube from the show. Meat did just great adjusting to it :D

YouTube Video

Thanks for that :)

And as others have said Meat, given you weren't expecting it to be played as you waited to come on, yes, you dealt with it with the skill, honesty and charm we can always expect from you, and I'd be surprised if anyone who was there, or who watched the show, could fail to be impressed. And as has also been said already .. a moron you're not .. but nice touch ;)

Caryl

I'm still damned if I understand why any Meat Loaf fan would be surprised or disenfranchised by seeing his reaction to the Busey thing. We've had decades of seeing a volatile, exuberant, passionate guy wearing his heart on his sleeve. If you don't love him for that, you don't love him, period. Restraint and Meat Loaf simply don't go together, and being pissed off about being screwed over, especially where charity is concerned is just cause in my book. If Meat having a 'don't ~~~~ with me' attitude is news to you, you've been burying your head in the sand.

Ellen seemed like she didn't know what to make of Meat. I've always liked her, but frankly she sticks to a 'type' on her show, and that type is Tinseltown Darlings. I would imagine Brian May, Brian Johnson or David Gilmour would seem equally if not more like fish out of water on there.

That aside, one other thing I wanted to mention - note Meat said they were mixing the song this week and 'sending' the song to iTunes next week. From what little I know I believe songs are sent to iTunes at least a week ahead of release, so I wouldn't necessarily expect the song to be available to buy next week.

Good point ... I wonder if they're going to wait and make it available just in time for the live finale on May 22nd :??: I just hope it gets promoted properly so they can all raise a lot of money for their respective charities :-)

yep. they sell 4 million downloads, that around 1 million dollars to each charity!

I LOVE the way you think :))

I avoided the computer and my phone all day, so I had not seen this post prior to watching the Ellen interview.

Now reading this post, I say you pulled off many things well. If you were irked because of what the show did, I think your professionalism out-shined whatever you may have been feeling inside.

Example: after watching the interview, I addressed my texts on my phone. My sister in law (who saw you at Disney Grad Night of a few minutes ago ;) ) texted me, Hey tell me you saw Ellen today. Meat was on and he has the greatest personality.

Hallelujah, Jesus, finally she's woken up after 17 years of knowing her.

You handled the "old news" great, you explained it, you took ownership, you've moved forward and you've let the audience know it. I loved hearing about "Standing in the Storm" 's progress. I also think you are a very giving person to interview. You give so much information on one question, you make it really easy for the interviewer (they may as well be a totem pole holding a mic).

Anyway, it may not have been the most comfortable interview for you, but it wasn't as bad as you think either.

Suzieq

Well said, yeah I definitely agree with you Suzieq, I think he handled it really well, he was very humble and honest about it, and got to plug the single too, and you can tell he's a great guy by taking the high road. I'm sure all these interviews and CA will pay off for him :)

I've just watched his interview thanks to Vicki and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Whilst I don't like the focus on Meat's moment with Gary, I thought he handled it very well and I have so much respect for him in admitting where he was in the wrong.
Meat's the perfect guest for shows like this, he's polite, he gives such great answers and he's got a great sense of humour. A lot of people I know who see him on this sort of shows have commented about what a great guest he is.

Suzie, my sister made a comment after watching Celebrity Apprentice a couple of weeks ago that she really thought Meat seemed like a really sweet guy and she wanted to give him a hug when he was crying. I'd been telling her how lovely he is for months but I suppose she needed to see evidence. Anyway, she told me that although she may not be a fan of his music, she's become a fan of him as a person.

I think there are a lot of good things to have come out of Celebrity Apprentice, most notably the money he has raised for his charity but also raising the profile of that charity, the fact that he seems to have made some great friends and also there's the fact that more people are relating to him as a person and not just that guy who sings 'Bat Out of Hell'.

Happy Friday, meatie peeps !
 

Welp, I didn't see the show nor have I watched any clips from it, but the report from Meat's new BFF aka my beloved husband, who did see Ellen yesterday is ... "I don't know what everybody's talking about... He did fine ... he was fine" ... So... there ya have it !!! ... lol ...

Well done, Meat, you did a GREAT job! If you were feeling uncomfortable, no-one would have known it! You were very gracious, as always.

20,000 dollars and counting for painted turtle doesnt seem like nothing. :|

& Thats what I thought of myself lol

My mother watched Meat on Ellen yesterday afternoon and had an interesting point, after I had been ranting about how ellen "ambushed him with the whole Gary thing". I tend get a little dramatic when I get upset - LOL! She said that Ellen didn' seem her usual self during the interview and that maybe Ellen was just as surprised as Meat was about the whole Gary clip being shown. Maybe the producers of her show kinda sprung that on her last minute as she was introducing him. Just a thought!
My mom has definitely become a fan of Meat's as a person. She thinks he is sweet, hard working, a gentleman, caring and has his heart in the right place. Even she agreed, as do I, that it was a great interview on his part and he handled the whole conversation about the Gary thing with honesty dignity and a great sense of responsibility! She even said that she will definitely buy me the Standing In The Storm single when it comes out especially since the money goes to charities! If my mom thought it was a good interview then it had to have been awesome.

Yeah Ellen definitely wasn't her usual self, she's usually much more relaxed and funny. I think Meat did a great job of steering the interview where he wanted to go, because obviously the studio had done a not-so-great job of it.

Is the full interview online anywhere? I didn't get to see it.

I know Ellen has a YouTube channel where she posts stuff from her show. I know the Meat interview is on there. I am not 100% sure if it is the full interview though

@Stretch yeah, I was hoping my post came across right. Thanx.

That's exactly what I'm experiencing too. People have "known" that I'm the major fan in my family or inner circle of friends. I treated my older sisters to a concert in NY over the summer last year, they met him and now they are like "whoa". But since celebrity apprentice, I have people calling/texting me saying....OMG Suzanne, he's so ______________ (fill in the kind words here). I just keep saying yeah, thanx, SEE I'm not nuts.

Agree! The image is strong with that of BOOH. People still relate...big boned manic long haired sweaty guy with a red handkerchief. Now they see what we've been seeing all along as followers of his career. And overall, people do like what they see.

I know Meat said he won't do a reality show again, but like a painful birth....he may forget the negatives as the payoff for The Painted Turtle is realized.

I agree Suzie. I must admit I was a bit wary after reading Meat's post and was expecting the worst, but I thought he handled himself with grace and dignity. He took responsibility and admitted he was in the wrong and embarrassed by his behaviour and managed to promote the new single for charity too. I'm hoping that single is going to be available to buy overseas too, given it's for charity, it should be. I look forward to hearing it.

Carole

Thanks to Adje .... who posted this earlier in the thread :-)

YouTube Video

Thanks, Vickie (and Adje), I did see that post earlier in the thread- but, is that the whole thing? It seems edited (only 1:43).

It's definately not the whole interview. I think it's just the highlights.

I think Ellen would have much prefered an In Depth 1 on 1 interview with KD Lang.:shock::D:-):!::O:idea:

Oh yeah, cause they're both lesbians. Clever stuff.

I am getting fed up of this Gary thing, it's been what it has been, I think the tv networks need to get over this now.

I absolutely agree with you.

I understand what you say, and yes, I too would like to see it consigned to history .. on the other hand, despite being wrong-footed by them showing the wretched clip when he'd been told they wouldn't, I'm sure he's canny enough to expect it will be mentioned in interviews in the short term .. particularly on this occasion, when he seemed to be there mainly to promote CA and the song they've recorded for their charities.

To me it's a useful way of Meat responding to the several appearances Busey did when he simply rode the incident for personal publicity :roll: Meat was there to promote something other than himself, but when it was brought up presented himself so well, just as he did on other similar shows, that he does much to correct the impression of him that the edited show, reinforced by Busey's appearances, gave. He's a veteran in the business, and I'm sure knows he has some damage redress to undertake; not hopefully to his loyal fans, but to a wider and more general audience. Yes, it does need to become a one-off that gradually stops attracting comment, but it's good imo that Meat gets to show his class and what a thoroughly decent man he is, through appearances like this (when he got a very positive reaction from the audience), and in interviews with the media. And when CA comes to en end, it will imo lose most of it's attraction to internet boards, bloggers etc


Caryl

How about $190,000!!!!! :D:D:D:D
