The Insider has learned that T.R. Knight, who plays Dr. George O'Malley, will be appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show tomorrow, January 17.
It will be interesting to see a sit-down interview with Knight, who is one of the Grey's Anatomy cast members about whom relatively little is known.
A stage actor before appearing on the hit series, and a man who maintains a low profile, the 33-year-old Minnesota native admitted he is gay last fall - stating that he hopes that isn't seen as the most important part of him. It's not, and this interview with Ellen will hopefully enable fans to find out a lot more about this talented performer.

It will be interesting to see what Ellen and T.R. discuss. I am sure the onscreen incident will be a topic of discussion especially considering Isaiah's denial of having called T.R. a name at the after win media blitz last night. I love Isaiah, but he really needs to learn when to talk and when to stay silent. He never seems to help himself. I can understand that he is really tired of the media attention to this and the constant questions and barbs from people, even Ryan Seacrest when he was interviewed. But, sometimes in trying to defend himself from the accusations he just makes it worse. I would like to see the Ellen show, but will be working at that time. Hopefully it will be up on YouTube eventually.

T.R. is so cute and love his character. But I wish this ugly mess would just go away for good it's time to move on. I don't understand why people don't get that. Isaiah should'nt have to defend himself anymore it's old news.

Well, to paraphrase TR, the fact that he's gay isn't the most interesting thing about him. Don't you KNOW he is so ready for all this to be over. His acting this season has been spectacular and I'd much rather see that making the headlines!
Whether Isaiah or the media are responsible for fanning the flames (I've seen it reported both ways), Bonnie is right - it's OLD NEWS.

I so agree with both of you. I just want to enjoy the show and stay in the fantasy world of Seattle Grace without having all of this outside nonsense spoiling the fun.

I agree with you, Bonnie M.

I did see T.R. on the Ellen show today, I am very proud of the way he handled the situation. He didn't have alot to say, but it made him look like a very big person. I would have a couple things to say about the issue, but he did take the higher road! I'm very proud of the way that he handled the unfortunate situation, I'm just sorry that he has to work w/Washington on a daily basis. T.R. seems like a very nice guy and no one deserves to be called those nasty words!

No one deserves to be called any nasty words but it happens everyday. Oh, and what exactly were those words? You were there, right, Lacey. Or is this a game of telephone. Can we grow up please. Since when did the media become trustworthy.

Wow Angie, I didn't say them. You're are quite defensive. I think it's very unfortunate that there are so many negative attitutes in this world, and the nasty words stop one word at a time!
I'm just glad that T.R. didn't fight one negative with another one.

You're right, I wasn't there but I did hear Knight speak of the incident today on the Ellen show. He said as he was arriving late to work he heard Washington call him that name. He even said that he had never been called that to his face and he didn't know what to say.
And you're also right, the media is very misleading and can change a story in an instant. But it is old news and I am not arguing if it happened or not, I am saying that it's quite unfortunate. Can't wait to get back to the show!

actually he said they weren't fighting because he was late.
