Ellen Degeneres Address Rumors of Taking Over Late Night From David Letterman. [Video]

Ellen Degeneres whose name was thrown into the running for taking over David Letterman's chair when the legendary host retires in 2015, took to her daytime talk show to address the rumors.

"I am very flattered but I really love doing my daytime show" A show that is currently in its eleventh season on air.

"Nighttime is very different. There's a lot of political humor, which I don't do. But I feel you don't know if you're good at something until you try it. So I'm gonna see what it would look like if I did do a late night show. "

The talk show host then went back behind the curtain and come out to do a traditional late night monologue before starting her own show.

Having trouble making the entrance through the curtains she tells the audience, "I haven't had this much trouble coming out since 1997."

In traditional late show fashion, Ellen tries to do a top eleven list paying homage to David Letterman who is known for his hysterical top ten lists.

Degeneres even takes a stab at doing political humor. "Well, let's get to the news. So much is happening in politics right now. Europe, Asia. Hilary Clinton. Am I right? I mean... Hey have you heard about this? The White House announced 7 million people have signed up for coverage under Obamacare. Although if they really wanna cover people, they should make hospital gowns that close in the back."

On a more serious note, Degeneres said she will miss Letterman when he retires. "David Letterman, you are an incredibly brilliant clever man. I've always been a fan I love watching you." She then brought out Pharrell Williams who performed his hit "Happy" which Ellen dedicated to Letterman.

Others who are currently being considered for the late night position are Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart and Tina Fey.
