Ellen DeGeneres | 2012 Mark Twain Prize Acceptance Speech

Ellen DeGeneres accepts the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2012.
The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, colloquially known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society who delighted and informed onlookers with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly.

But you are there, watching. So sad

I used to like her. Then she did the Ellen Games - where she laughed uncontrollably when people got slimed , hurt, afraid or embarrassed. And then came the reports on how badly she treated guests/staff on "Ellen"....plus she pushed for answers to none-of-your-business questions; had clowns/herself jumping out and scaring the snot out of people; and didn't respect people's boundaries. Now I can't abide her.

Didn't it come out that it wasn't her treating her staff bad?

“The universe guides you to where you need to be”. Classic survivor bias. Many people in the world are starving and disease ridden…where’s the universe guiding them to?
