Ellen DeGeneres Nicknames Taye Diggs "McChocolatey"
One day before the premiere of Private Practice, Taye Diggs sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show to discuss the new series and what it's like being a new kid on the medical block. A critical excerpt ...
Ellen DeGeneres: "All right so there's McSteamy, McDreamy, is there going to be a McSomething for you? Are you going to have a nickname?"
Taye Diggs: "I think that they're trying to steer away from all those nicknames to try and give us our own style on Private Practice. I always thought if they did go in that direction I could be McChocolatey."
Ellen DeGeneres: "Well, from now, you will always be McChocolatey to me. That's what I shall call you."
There you go. Taye Diggs: McChocolatey. End of story.

I watched it on my break at work. I always watch Ellen on my break at work. I love her. Too bad I only get to watch 15 minutes of it. But I saw Taye Diggs, but that part got cut off for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings!. I was like "What?!?! You NEVER interupt Ellen!!!! That's illegal! I demand and appology!!! Especially since Taye Diggs was on talking about Private Practice!!!! WTF!!!" I was upset. If I were worried about the weather, I would watch the weather channel. What happened to just putting the little thing in the corner of the screen. Why do you have to entirely interrupt the show? Seriously!
