It's amazing to me that a no talent like ellen is still in the news.If she were not a lesbian she would have long ago faded into obscurity..Have you EVER watched her stand-up?
She's freakin hilarious, with nary a swear word, or sexual connotation. She's a throwback to the Bill Cosby "trip to the dentist" routines.
She had a stand-up special on HBO (I think) recently. She was taking questions from the audience. As you know, she can draw a strong lesbian fan base. Anyway, someone stands up (pretty close to the stage - about 10-15 rows back) to ask something. Ellen points and says "Yes, Sir?" "He" replied back, "I'm a ma'am." Ellen was very embarrassed, but it was funny as hell.
She is hilarious, with her self deprecating style. And she has good rapport with her audience, and is never mean or hostile. Cracks me up.
It was a very nice thing to do, and I applaud her for it.
