The Terrific Tracee Ellis Ross

The actress and Ellen had plenty to talk about, from a (literally) revealing story about Prince, to kissing her "black-ish" co-star.

[@TinkTink311]

Ellen: "you did really good on the uhh BET awards. Tracee: THE BLACK GIRLS ROCK? Ellen was trying so hard not to say those three words and boy am I glad that Tracee corrected her!

[@BybiGurl1]

hahaha Ellen is afraid of talking about race

[@TinkTink311]

+BybiGurl1 Yup!

[@suesheification]

+BybiGurl1 so what

[@citronm1405]

+Tink D Good observation. I like Ellen but note how she pivoted away from the topic of the "N" word episode of Tracee's show. Oh well.

[@TinkTink311]

+citronm1 Yup!

[@typxalimo]

Ellen avoided the term "black girls" like the plague.

[@lilliebear09]

Right 😂 I was like BET awards 🤔

[@45mo4528]

+King Kelle I noticed that. it's ridiculous

[@MrBrooklyn06]

+45mo4528 why whats wrong with saying black girls?'

[@45mo4528]

+Tee Hee nothing. That s why I find it ridiculous.

[@deborahharrison7348]

@@MrBrooklyn06 cause she probably feels uncomfortable saying it cause she afraid she will get negative comments

I like her personality.

[@kokkil7047]

+Alain Bruno me too, she's a good actress.

Her work on Blackish deserves an Emmy award!

[@3aalya]

shez full of positive energy! i bet everyone smiled for just watching her talking

[@MoeMentos]

Definitely caught myself grinning, ha, good call

[@deborahgolob6275]

Tracee is the real deal

[@RaquelMartinez-qk6jw]

She's a hoot. I hadn't watched Black-ish until recently, but she just cracks me up every single time. She seems like so much fun to hang out with.

[@JoCar229]

I think everyone loves Tracee.

[@summerlyric6071]

Tee Jay Yes she always have commanded attention when she's on screen.

[@lambsquad_9047]

Been rocking with Tracee since #Girlfriends.

[@kckc18]

Lambsquad_90 YES! when I was too young to be watching it. Ha

[@edwardgithae8066]

That show was the bomb though...

[@makenziej8632]

I’m going to re watch it right now

[@fe6ruary]

she's too beautiful!!!

[@jaydawithay8442]

Her british accent is just amazing!! Sincerely, British person

[@TivoliEclipse]

I believe Tracee attended the same Day School for a year or so, that Winston Churchill once attended... She has lived all over the globe.

[@survivor817]

What's not to love about this woman? I imagine her childhood to be spectacular with a mom like Diana Ross......

[@KenteKool]

+Mandy Friday #BossBaby

[@LarryOfilms]

Mandy Friday it was, she spoke about it in an interview. She got her portrait taken by Andy Warhol, she got to talk to Michael Jackson on the phone before bedtime, go to the white house...

[@laila1989ism]

R.I.P. Prince. Btw i love that the flowers on the table are purple 🙏🏻

[@leornalee5676]

Tracee Ellis Ross is awesome... Such a beautiful personality, spirit and love of life and experiences expressed in her walk and talk!!!

[@kandb4life]

Mad that people still know Tracee as Diana Ross's daughter. I've been a fan of hers for over 15 years. She a cultural icon as far as forging your own path and owning yourself, curves, imperfections, and walking in your God given gift.

[@fatimasy7881]

EXACTLY! Does girlfriends not ring a bell...damn

[@KenteKool]

+kandb4life Why can't she be recognized as both? She's secure and adult about it.She was practically born onstage and her mother always had her and her siblings onstage with her at her shows. They do each other proud.

[@kandb4life]

Sorry, some people "only" know her as Diana Ross' daughter

[@IsaacMaganaMusic]

"No, that's cool". Another amazing quote for me to reference in the future hahaha

[@ariellee2521]

Tracee was about to get deep with that N-word story and then it just stopped...I kinda wanted to hear it and how effected the youngest cast member.

[@connorhanlon1209]

Tracee. Else sow love you Katy Perry Katy Perry potter Last Vegas Birthday happy CONNOR

[@khadijatoud6592]

She's SO beautiful and funny omg

[@JamesV84]

Only Prince could get away with that and still have Diana Ross say "No... that's cool" XD R.I.P. Prince

[@bluevery2317]

why are you everywhere?! by the way how's your wife doing?!

[@JamesV84]

Vidia Green I just enjoy commenting and sometimes people enjoy my comments. My wife is doing well thanks, just a little tired after giving birth :)

[@bluevery2317]

+Graphic Design Guy I was just joking by the way.I will pray for your wife,your child & you.

[@JamesV84]

Vidia Green Thank you Vidia Green, that's very much appreciated :)

[@deborahharrison7348]

Loved Prince and love the story of how Tracee met Prince i didn't know Diana Ross liked Prince i knew she liked MJ

[@yasmahmom6554]

I really like what she said about allowing those who knew Prince personally to grieve the loss of their friend; as the daughter of an icon she's had to share with the world I'm sure that dichotomy is very clear to her. It reminds me of Janet's speech at MJ's memorial. God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones.

[@annacelac]

FIRST TIME SEEING ELLIS ROSS, BUT I LOVED HER. SHE'S A HILARIOUS GIRL WITH SUCH AN AMAZING VIBE!

[@love_ashhh]

Look her up on lip sync battle. She's is perfection lol

[@XxSharmsxX]

She is AMAZING!!! She is so humble, talented, has the best energy and personality, and has really made a name and a career for herself. Especially with her upbringing and privilege of being THE Diana Ross' daughter.

[@lyledeyounges1276]

Diana must be so proud, seriously! What an amazing spirit she has.

[@DairiaKymber]

did anyone catch at the very beginning that Ellen called the awards show the BET Awards instead of Black Girls Rock? Tracee corrected her lol.

[@victorvien]

Kay A You are so on point I am speechless.

[@Matell]

Thank you The EllenShow for having Tracee Ellis Ross back unto your show to recap the last couple of months. She represented The Ross Family so graciously and wittily.

[@1586brittc]

She's just wonderful and hilarious all the way around!!!

She is so funny, "I literally went...mmph, mmph, mmph!"
