Jason Sudeikis talks to Ellen about how he and his family kept busy through the pandemic..playing video games, his daughter loves to sing, and bought his son Otis a drum kit for his birthday way back in April…”Why?

And finally, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Ellen talks about the importance of getting checked…”I get checked on a regular basis, you get into a routine as much as nobody wants to do it I’m so used to it now. I went in a little while ago, I went into the room, opened up my gown, leaned against the weird machine and the doctor came in said put those away I’m a dentist. My point is those medical buildings are big…make sure you’re looking in the right door”
