      That's how her comedy has always been. If you watch any of her standup specials they are hilarious, but also always have some sort of serious and often emotional points to them. It's really quite impressive how she can balance both so well and no matter how off topic she seems to get it all serves a greater narrative purpose in the end.

    Dear Ellen,
    Thank you. Thank You just for being on this planet. You perhaps don't know your impact on me as well as the lives of millions of children out there. You are the most important, inspiring person in my life. There comes a point in everyone's life when they feel that all is lost, that this is the end and that they cannot do anything to change that. And at that point, there also comes a person who, knowingly or unknowingly, inspires and makes him/her believe in himself/herself and gives hope that today is not the end, that tomorrow will be better. You are that person Ellen.
    And thanks for being here and helping us recover from our trauma.
    In case you ever read this, please know that you are my Idol, you are the kind of person I would like to become.
    Thank you.
