1997 Emmy® Awards Ceremony - Tracy Newman honored as TV Comedy Writer for "Ellen"

"My former TV writing partner, Jonathan Stark, and I were staff writers on the ABC sitcom "Ellen" for 4 seasons. In 1996, we wrote what was called "The Puppy Episode," aka Ellen's groundbreaking coming-out episode. In 1997, along with Ellen DeGeneres, Dava Savel, and Mark Driscoll, we won the Emmy® "Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series" for that show. This video is of us at the ceremony. A very exciting night, as you can imagine!"

Ellen didn't write this episode right?

Ellen came up with the story. She pitched it out to the powers that be, and the writers turned it into a script.
