Get your laughing pants on!

Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter on Wednesday, May 24 to seemingly reveal that she’s interested in doing a stand-up special on Netflix — and we can hardly contain our excitement!

Looks like it’s been 15 years since you did a stand-up special, @TheEllenShow. How about one for Netflix?

Ellen quickly replied, “Let me think about it. Ok I’m in.” Interesting!

Though it’s unclear whether or not the comedian spontaneously reacted to the question or if it was a publicity stunt, we’re still thrilled about her decision to do the segment!

If it all comes to life, this will be the 59-year-old’s first stand-up special since she did Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now in 2003. She currently her hosts her eponymous talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Now that the girls have gotten older (Sophia is 13 and Rosie is 10), they don't hang out together as much as they used to. While Rosie seems to be enjoying the life of a regular kid, Sophia is pursuing a career in music and just released a music video.

Alex From Target

An employee from a Texas Target became an overnight Internet sensation after a photo of the hunky teen went viral. He appeared on Ellen in 2014 and admitted he was very shocked by his instant popularity.

Now at 19-years-old, Alex still has his good looks, but no longer the infamous job at Target. His Instagram page jokes that he "was once a cashier," and now it seems as though he's taken up modeling.
