Ellen DeGeneres may have taped Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, but her monologue still offers some hope to the stars and everyday people who were deflated by the results of the presidential election.

"Well, well, well," she begins. "The election is finally over. I don't want to know the results. Don't tell me... The truth is we’re taping this show on Tuesday afternoon, so people at home you know something that I don’t and that we all don’t."

DeGeneres then addressed the nation’s divisive sociopolitical climate and suggested that the deepening political polarization is just a consequence of having a passionate populace that holds different ideas about what’s best for the country. "I believe we can all come together because if you take away the labels, you realize we’re far more alike than we are different," she said.

"For instance, no matter what your politics are, we all have that feeling of stepping out of the shower and realizing you left the towel completely across the bathroom," she joked. "And you have to do that shimmy on the bathmat all the way across where you try to get the minimal amount of water trying to tip-toe like, 'Just that one drop of water will be there if I do it that way."

The host continued: "We all do that thing where you're pulling into a parking garage and you duck your head just to make sure you make it. It doesn't matter if you're a liberal or if you're conservative, we've all passed out watching Netflix and woke up not knowing what episode we're on, what season we're on, whose couch we're on."

In closing, DeGeneres reminded viewers that we are all human and all deserving of "kindness and respect."

And should we need an example of how to come together, the host aired clips of different animals playing together.
