Even though the Super Bowl is still a few days away, fans are already getting sneak peeks at some of the commercials that will air during the big game. One of the most buzzed-about ads so far? Ellen DeGeneres’ hilarious Amazon spot featuring none other than her wife, Portia de Rossi.
Ellen and Portia Star in a Hilarious Trip Through History
On Wednesday, January 29, during an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the beloved comedian, now 62, gave her audience a first look at the ad she and her partner of 15 years, Portia, 46, starred in. The commercial begins with Ellen casually asking Alexa to lower the thermostat in her home. She then turns to Portia and muses, “What do you think people did before Alexa?” From there, the ad takes us on a whimsical journey through history, showcasing just how people managed their lives without the convenience of Alexa.
Imagine this: a maid frantically trying to cool down a fireplace, a queen being entertained by a jester, and even a dramatic sequence involving a pigeon carrier who gets eaten by an eagle, which is then devoured by a dragon. It’s a quirky, over-the-top depiction of life before Alexa came along. The ad wraps up with Ellen and Portia happily bobbing their heads to a song in their car, a perfect reminder of just how much Alexa has simplified our lives.

A Partnership Built on Laughter and Love
It’s no surprise that Ellen and Portia are starring in a commercial together. After all, they’ve been married since 2008, and their bond is as strong as ever. “She’s fantastic, she’s very, very funny,” Ellen once told David Letterman on his Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. “She makes me laugh, which is really important.” Ellen even shared how supportive Portia was when she returned to stand-up comedy for her special, Relatable.
