This woman has, not to my surprise, been voted for the funniest person in America in 1982. In the episode "The puppy episode" ( April 1997 ) in her show "Ellen" she announced to the world that she was a lesbian. This episode was watched by 42 million Americans. Her partner is actress Anne Heche. During 1995-96 she wrote a book named:"My Point...And I Do Have One" and she has also released a CD in 1996 which is named Taste This.

Reporter: "Iīm standing here inside "Uy the Book", a sight of tremendous damage."
Ellen: "Buy the Book."
Reporter: "Excuse me!!"
Ellen: "Buy the book" is the name of this bookstore. Itīs not "Uy the Book" because the B, the first B fell off and so. Itīs good actually that the first B fell off and not the second B cause then it would be "Buy the Ook". Whatīs that? Nobody would know. I mean they passen by, do you need an "Ook"? I donīt know but they wouldnīt come in. What was the question"?
( Talking in the phone to the police after her store had been robbed )

Ellen: "And a tight butt. Thatīs right, a babe with a tight butt." Look, I donīt wanna tell you your job but you might wanna check out where Jimmy Smits was between 2 and 2.15."
