Ellen DeGeneres hosted and filmed her fourth variety show for TBS June 16 at the Chicago Theatre. "Ellen's Somewhat Special Special" features acts such an Australian magician, a glow-in-the-dark ping-pong team and trampoline jumping acrobats. DJ Nick Cannon kept the crowd dancing and the Chicago Blackhawks made a surprise appearance with the Stanley Cup. Grammy-winning country-music trio Lady Antebellum provided live music and Ellen wrapped up the show with a Q&A from the audience where she answered, "Coming out of the closet was the hardest thing I have ever done." The special will air Sunday, June 27, on TBS at 8 p.m. CST. Text by Jerry Nunn; PR photo
