After watching the broadcast of her first Idol episode, Ellen said she didn't let the contestants down. "I was honest with the singers — I was concerned going into it I would be tiptoeing around too much, but I wasn't," she said.

So how did she get on with Simon Cowell? "Everyone is anxious to see how Simon and I are going to be together and, you know, I am, too," Ellen said.

"I know how we were for Hollywood week, and I know there were good days and bad days. But I don't know how we're going to be on live TV. That's going to be an interesting thing."

She said Simon "is funny, but he's also funny in a way that disregards anyone's feelings ... That doesn't feel good to me because I think there's a better way to tell someone that that wasn't good."
