Some people know how to handle uncomfortable and sometimes annoying situations with grace and poise. I am probably not one of those people, but, thankfully Ellen Degeneres is. The talk show host is slowly becoming the next Jennifer Aniston on the celebrity parental preoccupation front. More specifically, on Today, Ellen DeGeneres was awkwardly asked again if she'd ever want to have children. Though you may think she'd be put off by this, she wasn't. Like anyone who's had to navigate the oddly intrusive world that is Hollywood, she already had a perfect explanation prepared.

According to the site, she told Matt Lauer,

I love kids. But that's such a big commitment. And it seems long-term. It seems like a commitment that you have to stick with. And I just don't know if I can — it's too risky. Like, what if I don't like the kid? What if it turns out that it's not as cute as I wanted or as talented? I'm gonna compare it to all these kids that I have on this show that are so smart and so funny. And I'm like, "You are nowhere near these kids I had on today. Sit down and look at this kid I just had on! Do you know all those presidents?"

If you’ve ever seen a kid guest on her show, you’d understand her sentiments. They’re all so cute, unknowingly witty, intelligent, and endearing, it sort of is a legitimate fear that her own potential kid may not measure up. So, in honor of all of DeGeneres's best young guests and honorary talk show children, let's take a look at some of the most incredible ones.
