Everyone in Hollywood loooooves gay people. They would not do that. Conservatives, on the other hand, like Roseann Bar and Tim Allen...they will happily pull the plug.
Benjamin Aguilar there are children on the internet, please try to calm down. There’s no point in blatantly insulting random people on the internet. It won’t do any good. You could seriously upset people, and children.
Headas Snigga yea but I really feel like a good portion of them are denying their past. For example my best friend constantly thirsts over Priyanka chopa and complains about how, she’s too pretty for Nick Jonas. More so, she tries to deny her past lesbian relationships as something of the past. I mean she is totally into men as well but she continues in denying her bisexual past. More so, when she suggested that, we’d go out to a strip club, she clarified that she would only go to a female strip club.
She had a 1million dollar surgery to make her look like i think it said like 10 or 20 years younger thats why shes 61 and looks like shes only 40 or 30
@Alqu001 ! Back in the day when I was working a fax machine was a faster way of commumicating in businesses who didnt want to deal with the company by phone. I hoped this helped in clearing things up!
@BNO97 ! it's like a scanner. That sends what you can to another fax machine that is then printed out by the people you sent it to. They had phone numbers that you would dial in.
Haha, I didn't realize "lebanese" refers to lesbians until I started reading the comments, LOL :D I was like, "there's not a single word about Ellen coming out here!!!" Anyone else out there that just didn't get it?
Cartoon vocalist typically make all the facial expressions they naturally would make if it were real and Disney/Pixar's animators are known to make the character emulator more like the actual vocalist sometimes. There's another movie that I can't think of off the top of my head, but they specifically made the characters look very similar to the voice actors.
SteLenaFoster, lol I know. I used to watch Rosie's show every day after school with my friend haha. I just laugh at old technology references like this.
Jade The Messenger my point was that she was using examples of things that aren't used as much as they used to be, insinuating it's been that long since Ellen wasn't a household name and people actually cared about Rosie O'Donnell. Don't care if you think it's funny. It's clever and no doubt more clever than anything you might convey.
Because they hate each other now. Had a HUGE falling out and now they cannot stand each other!! I think it was over parenting or food... can’t remember but it totally happened.
An introverted comic ! Smart , generous , passionate , and funny , So glad she hung in there after being cancelled really for who she was because her ratings were high , now she is set financially for ten lifetimes . She uses her current talk show yes for humor but not humor at the expense of any one . She uses it for a platform of love and tolerance . A mighty fine human being in my book .
Not introverted. She called it quits on the show. And never makes jokes at people's expense? Tell that to the girl she publicly shamed on her show for taking free merch
@@ktkee7161 i remember watching a 90s thingy and the singer Melissa Etheridge came out in like 93, Friends had lesbians and the wedding in 96 and Ellen came out in 97. Besides the political feminist fighting for gay rights and lesbian novels there was nothing else publicity out there and that's why it was such a big deal ❤
I'm not Lebanese but I respect all foreigners. Good for you Ellen. I'm sure it must have been hard for your character to drop the act that you were an American. Sincerely, a man that doesn't drink 24/7 but pretty damn near it.
That was so fun to see after all these years! Little did she know that she would have such a rough road ahead of her before she found such success again.
Janaka you know what blows my mind? When a person lives like 14 lifetimes in 1...first you own a small store, then you get discovered and you model, next thing you know you can sing...who knew....then suddenly you're selling the number 1 sock in the world!!! I cant even win 1 dollar on a scratch off...im pretty sure this is what rod Stewart meant....some guys have all the luck...
I remember when this episode aired. My Mom and I watched Rosie a lot. I was a little girl and I asked my mom what she meant by lebanese and she said "It means that they are from Lebanon". Silly mom!
Guys! DUH! She just wasn’t ready for me to understand what lesbian meant when I was like 7, so she made a joke and I didn’t know it was a joke. That was roughly 20+ years ago and now I’m a mom. So now I get her joke.
And even though everyone knew Rosie was gay, it would take her another 5 years to come out herself!!! #whataworld These jokes were amazing though, she all but outed herself!
Did she not come out until 2001? When did her show end? I used to watch it every day with my friend, good memories. I remember being shocked when she came out (I was young and naive, okay?! lol)
I still don't fully understand, but well what you said makes sense. She didn't say I am gay y'all. . but basically did with homosexual humour and mannerisms.
She's always been one of the bravest women out there. The haters on this comment thread are just that, miserable haters. Ellen is nothing short of a hero, hysterical, and awesome.
Arabella S, go to your local bar and see how many married straight people are sleeping around before you look down on lesbians. Or I could put you in touch with a straight, married (at the time), youth pastor whom fondled a 15-year-old in front of me while his young, pregnant wife was one room away.
I witness this in real time. I was so excited. I watched Ellen Show from the start of "These Friends of Mine"....this was everything to me inside.....I wasn't ready to admit to myself or family just yet, but representation is everything! I love seeing not only Ellen and Rosie out and living with careers, but Wanda Sykes is so so important to me. As a black gay woman coming out later in life.....to see her thrive and be free; is so very freeing to me. Let ppl live!
Both of these women are hilarious and amazing. And the back and forth with them right now about the Lebanese and the baba ganoush is so witty and hilarious. And I can't believe this was before either of them had come out.
I am a celibate heterosexual. 2 marriages w/divorces, 10 yrs. apart, and 1near mistake. Retired from anything physical since 1986. Anyway, I think Ellen is one of the greatest people to ever grace the Earth. I have adored her, like I would a family member, since she first hit television. She has done so much for people/the world, yet she has never acted prideful or uppity. Everyone, should be lucky enough to have a friend like Ellen. Thankyou for sharing this humorous, and friendly interview. PS. I also like Rosie and I am happy she had Ellen on her show.
How could Ellen have done this and then some years later go on Larry King and say she doesn’t know Rosie and that they are not friends. Something’s just not right with the person she has become 😢
Without having seen the King episode, maybe the context of this statement is misleading. Just because you go on someone's talk show for a major moment in your life does not mean you're hanging out and having beers every weekend. And it depends on how one defines friendship. These people are in a business, they are friendly and polite. But they are doing business with each other. That's what it means to be a guest on a show. It doesn't mean you're friends or that you know each other well. Look at Laurel and Hardy. They were not exactly brothers. Audiences read way too much into friendly banter.
cathy smith, you wrote a lot of stuff there, to which I say, you don't know God or Christ or any of those folks. I happen to know that Ellen is good people. Why not look for the good in people?
In my opinion god and all that lot of a load of to say it nicely rubbish. It’s scientifically proven that the Big Bang happened not a frigging magician making the Earth, it just sounds like a child’s tv program
infinitydreamzz this whole paragraph just told me “peoples clothes give my prejudice personality stupid clues to thinking I automatically know someone’s sexuality and since I think that it’s a fact”
I'm so fortunate I've never known a time it wasn't complete bedlam to come out as gay, but I can certainly admire the courage it must have took to become the face of a whole community overnight. It just seems ludicrous to me that this was such a focal point at one time and one of the most talked about and riveting moments of a decade. I just love Ellen for the person who she is ♡
This is cool to watch. How far she’s come..... she really paved the way for celebs to openly come out of the closet today and be proud and embrace it more. Back then it was a lot harder for gays to come out. Bless her heart. I love Ellen
I think Ellen is hilarious. She I sunny, smart, intelligent, and I would love to have her as a best friend. She seems to be an awesome person that would make an awesome friend. ! !!
When Ellen came out she became more lovable, more acceptable if you will. When Rosie came out she became kind of...mean. I can't articulate it better than that but as far as fans & public go, she did not become more endearing... So, what's the difference?
She just had a platform there, when she came out ..do you remember "The Haircut"? It was sort of "in your face" compared to how she wore her hair previously. I just felt like the 2 of them coming out was night & day.
They're both lesbians but that doesn't mean they have the same personalities, experiences, or ways of looking at life. Just their coming out experiences were quite different each.
I just watched an interview that rosie recently gave that she wasn't invited on the Ellen show and that Ellen said they were never friends probably bc Ellen would feel threatened by her level of hatefulness they're both very hateful and explosive women. But Ellen didn't want anything to do with rosie.
She came out when she came out in that outfit.
there was a different style back then and your outfit doesn’t show your sexuality ( I mean at this point you are judging her )
Kara A fashion doesn’t define sexuality but ok!
Kara A Nice joke, now you’ve gotta tolerate the twitter legion of cunts pointing out their needless wisdom
Gaboseries yeah, also wasn’t it obvious she was lesbian
Gaboseries literally wasn’t even funny . your blatant homophobia hiding behind your shit humor isn’t cute.
Its so different seeing her in the guest chair.. 😂
She waa just in David letermans guest seat on netflix

Very true,I like the fact that she can be her true self now!love her!
That's what I thought! :)

Okay but why does Ellen look younger on 2019
Caramel EXACTLY😂😂😂
IN 2019, not on 2019 and the answer is plastic surgery. She was 38 back then and is 61 now.
That was a very stressful time for her, and it shows on her face
Actually she doesn't, but with surgeries and makeup, it helps.
She had a 1million dollar surgery to make her look like i think it said like 10 or 20 years younger thats why shes 61 and looks like shes only 40 or 30

Dorothy: "Not Lebanese Blanche... Lesbian!"
Blanche: "Lesbian! ... leesbian... LESBIAN?!"
JemarusVogue “Does Danny Thomas know???” 😂
Lmao
YEEEEEEEES!!!!
Thought the same :)
JemarusVogue omg yes lol
She's always been one of the bravest women out there. The haters on this comment thread are just that, miserable haters. Ellen is nothing short of a hero, hysterical, and awesome.
Arabella S, I am certain you are now in a database for your comment. It is a wonder no one flags your violent hate speech.
Arabella S, go to your local bar and see how many married straight people are sleeping around before you look down on lesbians. Or I could put you in touch with a straight, married (at the time), youth pastor whom fondled a 15-year-old in front of me while his young, pregnant wife was one room away.
Cristian Gonzales she's absolutely one of the funniest people ever .
Cristian Gonzales I didn't know stupidity was an equivalent to bravery. I'm talking about Rosie though. Not Ellen. I like Ellen
Cristian Gonzales she is my absolute she-roe!!! I love Ellen!!! She was brave when it was absolutely essential!
I witness this in real time. I was so excited. I watched Ellen Show from the start of "These Friends of Mine"....this was everything to me inside.....I wasn't ready to admit to myself or family just yet, but representation is everything! I love seeing not only Ellen and Rosie out and living with careers, but Wanda Sykes is so so important to me. As a black gay woman coming out later in life.....to see her thrive and be free; is so very freeing to me. Let ppl live!
I used to watch Rosie a lot. Unfortunately, my memory sucks so I can't remember what episodes I watched Lol...
Let people live 💙 That's the cure for all judgments, basically.
We’ll be right back with Ellen after this commer-WE’RE BACK WITH ELLEN
Both of these women are hilarious and amazing. And the back and forth with them right now about the Lebanese and the baba ganoush is so witty and hilarious. And I can't believe this was before either of them had come out.
Shaun Barbee that's the idiotic part.
Shaun Barbee definitely :)
volcano hi they were funny but Bruce Jenner is hideous
Volcano - you have to be straight. And a total homophobe - why is that. Why do we make you uncomfortable
Alex Roman how is he a homophobe?
I am a celibate heterosexual.
2 marriages w/divorces, 10 yrs. apart, and 1near mistake.
Retired from anything physical since 1986.
Anyway, I think Ellen is one of the greatest people to ever grace the Earth.
I have adored her, like I would a family member, since she first hit television.
She has done so much for people/the world, yet she has never acted prideful or uppity.
Everyone, should be lucky enough to have a friend like Ellen.
Thankyou for sharing this humorous, and friendly interview.
PS. I also like Rosie and I am happy she had Ellen on her show.
ok boomer
I am a celibate heterosexual also. I love and enjoy it.
@@misterbee66 Kudos.
@@katherineirving7189 Thanks so much.
Not a her!!💯💯
Hi there people, well I can see RUclips recommendations has brought us together again
How could Ellen have done this and then some years later go on Larry King and say she doesn’t know Rosie and that they are not friends. Something’s just not right with the person she has become 😢
Right! It's sad
Without having seen the King episode, maybe the context of this statement is misleading. Just because you go on someone's talk show for a major moment in your life does not mean you're hanging out and having beers every weekend. And it depends on how one defines friendship. These people are in a business, they are friendly and polite. But they are doing business with each other. That's what it means to be a guest on a show. It doesn't mean you're friends or that you know each other well. Look at Laurel and Hardy. They were not exactly brothers. Audiences read way too much into friendly banter.
I love Ellen!! Loved her before she came out, and been loving her every since she came out...
cathy smith, you wrote a lot of stuff there, to which I say, you don't know God or Christ or any of those folks. I happen to know that Ellen is good people. Why not look for the good in people?
+cathy smith you're a parasite.
cathy smith I am christian and you think thats what someone should do? Gay people dont control their feelings. All you say is just stupid
In my opinion god and all that lot of a load of to say it nicely rubbish. It’s scientifically proven that the Big Bang happened not a frigging magician making the Earth, it just sounds like a child’s tv program
cathy smith bitch stfu 😂😂😂
*Ellen shows up wearing men's outfit*
Umm...she needed to come out?
zomgseriosuly ikr
zomgseriosuly yes...she did because clothes don’t identify sexuality
Cate B. loves wearing suits, but she officially stated she's not into women at all.
infinitydreamzz no. They don’t.
infinitydreamzz this whole paragraph just told me “peoples clothes give my prejudice personality stupid clues to thinking I automatically know someone’s sexuality and since I think that it’s a fact”
“I get faxes of all these tabloids...” hahahah 😂
Weird how ancient this sounds already.
No one:
RUclips in 2019: here's an old upload of Ellen coming out.
7:12 BOOM! they came out together
Cris Newton no
I'm so fortunate I've never known a time it wasn't complete bedlam to come out as gay, but I can certainly admire the courage it must have took to become the face of a whole community overnight. It just seems ludicrous to me that this was such a focal point at one time and one of the most talked about and riveting moments of a decade. I just love Ellen for the person who she is ♡
Ellen=Courage
This is cool to watch. How far she’s come..... she really paved the way for celebs to openly come out of the closet today and be proud and embrace it more. Back then it was a lot harder for gays to come out. Bless her heart. I love Ellen
Ladies. You’re both Lebanese 🤦🏽♀️

@@thecutiedog8379 find the door then
I think Ellen is hilarious. She I sunny, smart, intelligent, and I would love to have her as a best friend. She seems to be an awesome person that would make an awesome friend. ! !!
Ellen has always been beautiful, loved her ABC show back in the day!
And then Ellen never had Rosie on her show once for its 20-year run...
How funny Rosie actually is lebanese😂
Me watching this in 2019
Gosh 😘💕😁
Sameee
Me too

When Ellen came out she became more lovable, more acceptable if you will. When Rosie came out she became kind of...mean. I can't articulate it better than that but as far as fans & public go, she did not become more endearing... So, what's the difference?
TK W she became mean working on the view.
She just had a platform there, when she came out ..do you remember "The Haircut"? It was sort of "in your face" compared to how she wore her hair previously. I just felt like the 2 of them coming out was night & day.
I hope Oprah doesn't change for the bad whenever she decides to come out. She needs to hurry up though!
TK W
The difference is what is in their hearts. Rosie was so damaged by her childhood. It affects her optimism and she's defensive.
They're both lesbians but that doesn't mean they have the same personalities, experiences, or ways of looking at life. Just their coming out experiences were quite different each.
I just watched an interview that rosie recently gave that she wasn't invited on the Ellen show and that Ellen said they were never friends probably bc Ellen would feel threatened by her level of hatefulness they're both very hateful and explosive women. But Ellen didn't want anything to do with rosie.
Man there were so many pop culture references that went over my head, the generational gap is really showing here.
I love this interview! Both ladies are so funny. Ellen’s dance, 🤣🤣🤣LOVE IT!!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful Ellen is!
He is ugggly
@@WakeUpFromTheMatrixx she
@@charlie27203 That's not a she!💯💯
They are both beautiful
Ellen is still incredibly relevant even up until today. We stan
I was lucky enough to live in the day of Ellen and Rosie as stand-up comics. They were great.
Omg I’m crying “can you cut that out” “we’re live” “ok” 😂😂😂
Watching this in December 2019 for some reason...
Jacob Guerrero si
Same...
Jacob Guerrero I too am wondering the same lol
I’m actually half Lebanese 😂 so glad this was in my recommendations
Do you believe that you need Christ?
mike landry jr homie what the fuck are you even getting at
Bisexual *wink wink*
Ellen dances the same 😂😂
Cheryl H I cried 🤣🤣🤣
😂 she's great!
Yo, that Lebanese bit got me dead 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Jack Kornowske Turn off her car talk
November 2,2019 watching Ellen. She looks good with age. And she is funny. I like Ellen.
This was a weird pop culture moment.
HinHwood Yeah, I think within a few generations, people will wonder: "people thought it was criminal to love people of the same sex?!"
Chris Ducat It won't be that normalised
HinHwood EPIC, CORNER TURNING POINT! SHES BEEN KEADING THE GAYS SINCE... GOD BLESS HER!
King. D. It will be eventually, obviously.
Vixey Lazer True.
A true pioneer! Way ahead of her time! A true testament that you get what you put out! Ellen WE thank you!
Not really. The gay lib movement was 30 years old at that point. More TV was behind the times.
