'It's a tale of two Julias!': Ellen DeGeneres recruits Julia Roberts to help prank Julia Louis-Dreyfus on chat show

On day 10 of the Ellen DeGeneres' 12 Days of Giveaways special episodes of her daytime talk show, the host had a little something special up her sleeve: Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts.
'I only asked for one thing this year,' said the 55-year-old TV talk show host. 'Can I please have a co-host? And my producers said, 'Let me see who is available.' And they wrote down the name on a piece of paper this morning and slid it to me on the table, and I was like, 'Eh, okay. That will do.''
