When Dakota Johnson appeared as a guest on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote her film "The Peanut Butter Falcon" in 2019, the conversation immediately turned to a passive-aggressive accusation. Asking about the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star's 30th birthday get-together, DeGeneres said, "How was the party? I wasn't invited." Johnson set the record straight right away: "Actually, no. That's not the truth, Ellen. You were invited. ... Last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of sh** about not inviting you, but I didn't even know you wanted to be invited." DeGeneres continued to question whether or not she really did send her an invite, and a demurely annoyed Johnson replied, "Ask everybody. Ask Jonathan, your producer." The producer confirmed the invite and DeGeneres had no choice but to backpedal a bit, creating an excuse on the fly for why she didn't show.
The interview just kept getting more awkward after Johnson said Tig Notaro was her favorite comedian and DeGeneres seemed to take offense. And then when DeGeneres claimed that she was the one who introduced her to Notaro, Johnson had to correct her again before observing, "Gosh, this isn't going well."
Two years later, Drew Barrymore brought up the Ellen DeGeneres moment when Johnson was a guest co-host on "The Drew Barrymore Show." Johnson didn't say anything about the incident, but she did laugh when Barrymore called the back and forth "amazing."
