Ellen DeGeneres was watching Bird Box and a lightbulb went off in her head. She said to herself, let me blindfold Andy and have him follow me around as I tap on the bell like Sandra Bullock’s movie kids did in the movie. The ding would draw him towards her like Boy and Girl were drawn to their movie mom.
Since she asked him to do it in front of the cameras, he had no choice but to say yes. A decision, he would wind up regretting.
With each ding, he feared that his boss would scare him again. Even though he knew it was coming, he still was very concentrated on the sound of the bell. So much so, any strange noise would be amplified and make the scare worse. Which is what Ellen was hoping for when she set off an air blast right in his path. Causing him to curse on the air and walk off the set.
Which I can’t blame him because it is what I would have done. But then again, I might have been a good dog and came back on stage when she started calling me again with that freaking bell.
Poor Andy, I hope she at least pays him well because he deserves a raise every time she scares him. Although at the rate she scares him, he would make more money than her in no time.
