There’s probably not a whole lot of geeks tuning into Ellen Degeneres‘s talk show The Ellen Degeneres Show each day, but there are swarms of them tuning into AMC’s The Walking Dead each week.

Each year in October Ellen sends one of her writers through a haunted house because, you know, people getting the crap scared out of them is pure entertainment gold. This year Ellen sent an executive producer along with her writer to Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights to check out their Walking Dead-themed haunted house, and of course, hilarity ensued.

You can see the video of their experience below.

Ellen DeGeneres, star of Finding Nemo, it’s upcoming sequel Finding Dory, and host of her own daytime talk show, has been chosen to host the 86th annual Academy Awards ceremony on March 2, 2014.

This will be the second time that DeGeneres has hosted the Oscars, the first being back in 2007. She has also hosted both the Emmys and the Grammys a number of times.

Andrew Stanton‘s career in live-action filmmaking may be on hold for right now, but there is no question that he knows his way around directing an animated film. It was announced last year that he along with Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks are returning for a Finding Nemo sequel. Now Disney has announced that the sequel is officially titled Finding Dory, and Pixar has scheduled the film to be released on November 25, 2015.

It’s a big ocean, so we’ll be seeing brand new characters enter the fold, and the film will take place a year after the events of Finding Nemo, where our fish friends from both the ocean and the fish tank find themselves swimming along the California coastline.

After lots of negotiating, DisneyӢPixar has reached a deal with Albert Brooks to reprise his role as Marlin the clown fish in Finding Nemo 2.

We found out that a sequel was on the way with Andrew Stanton returning to direct back in July, and that Ellen DeGeneres had signed on to reprise her role as Dory just month later. Brooks, however, was apparently a little bit trickier to lock up, and it’s said that he’ll be paid rather handsomely for the gig.
