[@starwarsrebel2006]

Most comedians would do their routine and leave. With her, Carson asked her to come over and have a seat. He then told her she has an open invitation to come back anytime. When you get that kind of endorsement from Carson, you know you have a future in show business.

[@romeo24178]

She reflected on this on a special about the Tonight Show and Johnny Carson history. She and Drew Carey were emotional about how special it was to appear on the show, but to be called over, meant so muuch more, like an endorsement stamp for your career going forward. Ellen and Drew appreciated that start, and Johnny was the best at moving forward careers of new or young comedians.

I remember seeing this when it originally aired, I was 11. My dad would let me stay up late sometimes and we would watch Carson together. I Remer talking with my dad about how funny and classy she was, we knew she would go far, then Johnny called her over to the couch and we knew for sure. I still have a crush on her :)

Her first big break was getting on The Tonight Show. Her second even bigger break came at 6:03 in this video when Johnny Carson motioned her over to sit in the chair. That single gesture meant that he liked her material and delivery. To be blessed by the King of late night TV meant you would go on to be a star. Carson made the careers happen for countless numbers of people. The Godfather of TV.

[@wildlysuccessfulchristians]

I can only imagine what this was like for Ellen. Ever since she became serious about being a stand-up comedian, her dream was to get on the Johnny Carson show and be asked to sit down, which was pretty much the best thing that could happen to a budding comedian's career. I wonder what she felt like when her dream came true and he invited her to sit down, the first female comedian on the show to achieve that.

[@KevTech1]
