BURBANK, Calif., May 25 (UPI) -- In a game of "Who'd You Rather," Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton gave a few tongue-in-cheek clues as to who is and is not on her potential vice presidential short list.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGenres Show, Clinton indulged the host in a game where she had to keep picking between two faces on a screen. DeGeneres lobbed a few softballs, planting herself as the eventual winner. Most of the faces were celebrities and none are believed to be on Clinton's actual radar as a choice for running mate.

Of the lone controversial choice Clinton made, she picked Tony Goldwyn, the actor who plays the president on ABC's Scandal, over her primary opponent Bernie Sanders.

Among the other options DeGeneres proposed, Beyoncé and George Clooney had the longest runs.

"I believe in making lemonade out of lemons," Clinton joked, referencing Beyoncé's new album.

The full episode of the syndicated talk show airs Wednesday.
