to help take your mind off everything

that's going on in the world.

I've always wanted to have this show as a distraction,

as a break from whatever is going on out there

that may be unpleasant.

So if you're feeling down, I want to lift you up.

If you're feeling trapped, I want to set you free.

If you're feel like you're going in the wrong direction,

I want you to back that thing up.

What is happening with the puppy dog?

OK.

Look at this beast.

[LAUGHS]

He's so big now.

Oh, come on.

Ellen, what did you do?

He's the cutest thing in the world.
