‘Ellen’ Audience Member Says Her Visit Was ‘Humiliating’

[@DanG6311]

If you’ve been a “comedian” your whole life and you’re afraid random audience member will upstage you, maybe you’re just not funny...

[@dottyjyoung]

Exactly---if an audience member is funnier, then mentor them into their own career!!!

[@marcosmota1094]

Jimmy Kimmel had his first non-staff audience member last week, and he let him shine and have the mic as much as he wanted. Jimmy lets Guillermo rag on him all the time, and so does Conan with his whole staff. CO even lets interns laugh at him! And guess what? It's why we keep going back for more JK and CO videos...just make people happy and enjoy life folks. Any example from Jimmy works: /watch?v=Zsi60qCUpi8

My grandpa owned a comedy club in the late 80s early 90s, he told me about several different people who he met and got to have the privilege of having them at his Club to perform. He told me a wonderful story about Robin Williams but the story that stuck out to me the most was his story about Ellen. He said that she was 'unbearably annoying' and demanding she was up-and-coming and brand-new to the comedy scene and she made demands for her waiting room so my grampa told her straight to her face before she got on that she 'better be funny'

Fifteen years ago I was able to get 4 tickets to the Ellen Show for April 25, which was Jim and mine's 25th wedding anniversary. With several others, he, our daughter and I waited in an outdoor holding area and was told that someone would come to explain where we should go next. We were approached by a staffer and asked some questions about spending part of our special day at the Ellen Show. Everyone around us could overhear our conversation and responded that Ellen must be going to acknowledge us, maybe even invite us to come on stage with her. At 65 I was still gullible enough to imagine how great it would be to have my favorite comedienne sharing our anniversary, how memorable it would be. After a while we were led to another area, a roofed one this time, to wait for another long hour. Our son in law arrived and the four of us waited with the crowd for yet another hour or so. Finally we were ushered into the auditorium, already crowded with what appeared to be college students that had obviously not waited like the rest of us. I was led to the seat where (I was told) Ellen's mom always sat. Some of those who had heard me earlier talking to the staffer gave me big smiles and thumbs up. To be honest I was quite nervous about the possibility of meeting Ellen. But nothing at all happened. About the only thing I remember now was that Ellen was wearing a white suit, her main guest was Roseanne (whom I also liked a lot back then) and that Ellen had other guests, some plumbers maybe (?), and with time to spare she even sat for an interview with someone at the end of her show. I do recall thinking that was all rather odd. In the years following I continued to watch Ellen, even taped shows so that I could watch them later. Then for some reason I lost interest, maybe because of the over-the-top give-aways she held during the Christmas season. Now that I am 81, I can look back and laugh at how silly I was, and can better understand how young people get caught up in hero worship regarding celebrities. The experience did not ruin our anniversary, far from it. However, now and then I think fleetingly about that day and wonder what it might've felt like to hear Ellen say "Happy 25th Anniversary".
