NBC orders Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways, a primetime holiday event series

Deadline

Ellen is bringing her holiday giveaway tradition to primetime with a three-episode holiday event series this fall. “I was so excited when NBC told me that they had truckloads of cash and expensive gifts that they wanted to give me for the holidays,” said Ellen. “You can imagine my surprise when they said ‘No Ellen, we want you to give away truckloads of cash and expensive gifts for the holidays.’ Long story short, I can’t wait to host Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways on NBC.”
