Quentin Tarantino and Ellen DeGeneres discussed his lack of prior appearances on her US chat show during a BBC One appearance together.
Quentin Tarantino and Ellen DeGeneres appeared together on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, where the exchange was described as awkward. The conversation arose after fellow guest Colin Farrell discussed his numerous appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Host Graham Norton asked the Pulp Fiction director whether he had ever appeared on the programme.
Tarantino replied: 'I was never asked.' DeGeneres responded: 'I don't know why that is.' Tarantino then clarified that he 'didn't mean it like that', before adding that he had 'always been kind of hoping to be on your show'. DeGeneres explained that talk show producers were responsible for bringing potential guests to hosts and said she did not know why Tarantino had not appeared on her programme.
DeGeneres said: 'Well, I'm so glad we're meeting now. I don't know why you wouldn't have been. Let's look into this. Now I'm angry.' During the same appearance, DeGeneres also spoke about missing elements of her television career and the possibility of working in the UK. She has been living in the Cotswolds since moving from the United States with her wife, Portia de Rossi, in 2024.
