DeGeneres makes variety TV her cause in special


LOS ANGELES – Ellen DeGeneres is bringing variety back to TV with the help of Kabuki Expert and Flag Man.

They're among the performers in DeGeneres' fourth variety special for TBS, "Ellen's Somewhat Special Special," which taped at the Chicago Theatre on Wednesday for broadcast later this month.

"I'm really excited about the acts this year," DeGeneres said before the show, which was to include a Q&A session with the audience and "different things."

Asked if that meant she would take part in some of the daring stunts, the comedian said it was possible, adding, "Coincidentally, I signed a big insurance policy."

Others appearing in the special include Lady Antebellum, Australian magician James Galea, Catwalk Acrobats and Nick Cannon. They join Japan's Kabuki Expert, creators of the clever Matrix Ping Pong video seen online, and Dominic Lacasse, an acrobat known as Flag Man. (AP)
