What a week this was!!!! It started by receiving a call from the Ellen Degeneres show that they need some Blue (Ellen's color) Skitters for the show. The Skitters were used as part of a Games Week contest where contestants had to push hired "Hunks" on them. The show aired on Wednesday, February 17. Skitter Toys was invited down the day before filming for rehearsals. The producers were really excited that they were able to use the Skitter ride on toy for filming and have heard all about how much fun they are from kids of their staff. During rehearsal everybody wanted to ride the Skitters which demonstrated how durable they are constructed. The producers were concerned about not damaging the stage wood flooring but were pleased when they found out about the Skitter Toys upgraded polyurethane wheels that do not damage flooring.
The next day was the filming for the show which again we were invited back to attend and to hang out behind the scenes. Before we arrived we received a call from the producers that Ellen just loved the toys and said that they were the best toy she has scene. With that said, she had to get some for the kids in her family.
The filming went perfect with the live audience screaming during the ride on toy game segment and become an Ellen favorite video clip on Ellen's website. We had the royal treatment from the staff and crew who were more than gracious. We have took many pictures and were told by the producers that they will be using them again for future Ellen DeGeneres shows.
