Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now Trailers

Ellen DeGeneres has done everything, from starring in hit sitcoms and movies, to writing best-selling books, to having her own new talk show, but she's never forgotten her roots as a stand-up comedian. Taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre before a live audience, Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now features the kind of humor that first made her a star, offering her offbeat insights into everyday life. Her feel-good humor touches on something that anyone can identify with, be it the obligatory gay joke, procrastination, fashion, public cell phone use, airline etiquette, or self-esteem.

Ellen I would love to bein your show some day but of course can't afford it. I have a handicapped daughter and I am on total disability soooo if you ever give out plane tickets please keep us in mind. You are such a hoot and I love the real you on TV. Would love meeting you. By the way if you have a size cow I would love getting a signed t-short. God Bless you and yours. 731-336-2747/ :ove ya Lynda Birch from TNI used to be a stand up comedian but no-one could see me.

and hilarious. i enjoyed her commentary - so much of it so true. as funny as her comments were, it is sad to think about how negatively this world is progressed, and maybe in laughing about it, we can realize how ridiculous it has become. Many of Ellen's morals were strikingly Taoist in nature - such as her entire point that you cannot save time, you can merely spend it.. "and that's why procrastination feels so right!" Read "The Tao of Pooh", and you will see the similarities, including her hilarious take on modern news coverage. Also, as a lesbian fan of hers, I found her opening remarks cute. More gay jokes? "What happened to our leader????!":) Peace out.

I have been a fan of Ellen's since before Electricity! I am so incredibly glad that I got a chance to see Ellen perform this 'Here and Now' stand-up routine LIVE! I saw her at GW's Lisner Auditorium April 16, 2003 and oh my goodness was she hilarious! There was no way I was going to miss this HBO special. I was so worried that they would cut out a few of the jokes that I enjoyed from seeing her live, but they didn't! I was thrilled! Ellen is so gifted at everything that she does. She has a very high bar for what she does. I don't blame her one bit. You don't see many (As a matter of fact ANY) comics doing a whole routine with no cursing, foul language, political statements or anything that would attack another human being or racial slurs. That's why Ellen is the Queen of comedy.I really love Ellen's sense of humor, the way she looks at the world. Her timing is impeccable. She's incredibly gifted. She's a comedian, she knows the rhythm and so she can take the scene and give it the flow and the build and she's a pleasure to watch.I love her honesty, sincerity, generousity and most of all her personality. She's so down to earth. If you've ever met her or will ever meet her, you will see that in her. She's an amazing woman.Thank you Ellen for making my experience of seeing you LIVE IN THE FLESH :D an unforgettable night! You had me laughing hysterically!I had pleasure talking to you. Thank you for allowing me to speak to you. Thank you for the autograph and the hug. :D You are on awesome chick!Your HBO special rocked! I can't wait for your new talk show. Good luck with all of your dreams.

Oh my God!!! I never really watched anything With Ellen Degeneres, to be quite honest i knew she was a lesbian with Anne Heche as her partner and she had a show. I'm not sure if this is a show? or just a one time stand up thing but this was soooo hilarious, i mean i like comedians like martin, chris rock, and chris tucker, it's hard to have a "white" girl make me laugh, but she was better than all of them put together!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was crying sooo hard i mean she is really hilarious i love her i have a new respect for her! it's great u all should really watch this :)
