Ellen DeGeneres Sending Crew To Philly: 'I'm Going To Shut Down A Couple Of Blocks'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS)-- Ellen DeGeneres, fans are you free this Wednesday?

In a tweet on Monday night, the comedian says she was going to "shut down a couple of blocks on Walnut St." on Wednesday.

However, on Tuesday she clarified that she is actually sending her crew to Philly for a live shot, meaning the comedian herself likely won't be in town.

Tomorrow I'm sending some of my crew to #Philly for a live shot on Walnut Street. Y'all are gonna look great on my show.
