one thing I'm known for is scaring people.

I like it.

I assume other people like it.

But I found out it's not always fun for the person

being scared.

So if I've scared you, do not worry.

There's a place you can go for help now.

I was just trying to raise some money for a great cause,

and then it happened.

[LAUGHING]

Listen, I'm a comedian, all right?

Obviously, I'm an internationally famous

comedian.

But I can take a joke.

But this was different.

[SCREAMING]

I haven't been able to eat cake since.

Ellen!

If you or someone you know has been scared by Ellen DeGeneres,

you are not alone.

I should have seen it coming.

I had my eye off the ball.

It happens to one in five guests.

I trained for months to play Captain Marvel,

but nothing could have prepared me for that cat coming out

of that box.

[SCREAMING]

She's not all smiles and blue eyes.

Ha ha.

She's a monster.

Let's be honest.

This would have never happened on Oprah.

There's hope.

There's hope.

You know, the Scare Support Hotline,

it helped me see that I am not alone.
