No, most people knew. She came out in '97 on Time mag saying "Yep, I'm Gay". So she was just reaffirming what most people already knew by then. People knew in 1994, too. She chose the word "Yep", because everyone already assumed she was gay. It's like she was saying "Yep(you're right), I'm Gay". She just never officially announced it until 1997.
You know that God Telephone Gag Ellen did? She thought of that when she was depressed over her girlfriend's death in a car crash. See fact is that she just drove past the accident her girlfriend died in. She had no idea till she saw it on the news. She had it bad. And now I'm just happy for everything Ellen is experiencing now :)
In Desert Storm we had a rec tent with a TV, VCR and a stack of tapes, movies, whatnot. In there was Ellen DeGeneres stand up special and I watched that so many times. I liked the joke about things tasting bad, and for some reason it makes you want everyone to taste how bad it is. haha she says it better. And she kept making jokes about doing drugs, not really, yes OK I do drugs.. no no just a joke... ok yes, really I do cocaine. She's hilarious.
the grandma bit is still one of my all time favorite lines i think its hilarious when she said " now we dont know where the hell she is" this isnt even Ellens best, other stand up act she has here around youtube are amazing
I watched several of her early stand-up performances repeatedly, and it was amazing. No wonder she was named "America's Funniest woman". With talent and hard work, we knew she could be so successful later. She is a national treasure.
It's been week since I started loving this beautiful person and I think I'm never gonna stop!! #2021❤ and I'm here and every ellen fan should watch all her shows before Ellen show came up.❤ I love her ..
As far as I am concerned, Ellen is the funniest person alive! She is very clever and can pull a joke out of nowhere. She deserves every bit of her success!
My Lord, is that what we wore back in the 80's? I must have looked hideous. Yes, most of that routine was on her Johnny Carson debut, so what, you use your jokes as often as possible if the audience is new.
I don't know but somehow I feel she resembles Queen Of Hearts Lady Diana. Specially her hair style and her smile compels me to think in that way. She was superb pretty and still she is. Love you Ellen.
Who else noticed that she did almost the exact same monologue with just some parts cut out that she did on the johnny carson show where she had her first tv appearance
Colin MacKinnon Then I disagree Carlos Mencia shows was actually funny as for his stand up I heard he stole material from other comedians so that's lame, Sarah Silverman has her moments but she def funnier then Steve Martin and as for Bob Sagat he's hilarious now I truly see you're more of a defender of good ol Martin gj White Knight :)
She's so cute and her voice is soo sweet. Love herrr
I think it just depends on your preference on humor. I found her jokes quite funny actually and very witty. Her delivery is what makes it even better.
@Language Lab how do you know it's not their job? What if Empire is a comedian?

I always die at that first joke about her being an accountant as a child hahahahaha.
She was gorgeous.. Oh dear God, her eyes are the most beautiful i ever saw.
What I've always liked about Ellen is that she never plays "blue". her comedy is thoughtful and kinda innocent
She seems to me child at heart .. Innocent
This is the ellen i remember. Such beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile
So no one thought she was a lesbian before 1994?
aveuch I remember before she came out my mom would always say “I think she’s gay/She seems like she’s gay”
She came out in 1997.
Back then if a girl tried to look like a boy, usually a lez

Ellen was so pretty with great voice and humor. I love her till now. She is very special.
BTW she also adds knowledge and lessons through humor.
She still is
"we dont know where the heck she is" omg that grandma joke was amazing
Oh God she was so cute
Pants are horrible but look comfy as hell
LMAO 😂
Dunno I find her outfit pretty neat
Ellen is one of the funniest & witty comedians ever. Love her sarcastic humor!

She was a hybrid of Pricess Diana and Meg Ryan. Beautiful.
she is sooo cute... goofy n cute...and funny...
I had no idea she started in standups :) She seems to be a very kind person.
the point being that nice people couldn't possibly have started in comedy:) ?

Wow Allen was so pretty 😍 ❤️
I have a bad crush on her, like, a very bad crush... and I'm not a lesbian.. :p
me too....i resolve to not put a label on it ....i guess its some people....
Don't worry - the theory goes, women are emotional, so likely to be more fluid in their sexuality.
haha okay :p
You must be a guy then :P
Lilly Filly i can relate to you..
She said the exact same routine in the Johnny Carson show, like not the rapper or deer bit but the rest is exactly the same! X
OMG! Her face hasn't changed at all! She certainly takes care of herself!
1987 - Women of the Night special on HBO. Ellen Degeneres, Judy Tenuta, Paula Poundstone, and Rita Rudner.
Always loved Ellen!! Clean and classy!!
1:12 so dancing HAS always been her thing. I just thought she started doing it only AFTER she started her own show.
I just watched the Carson show..she's using the same jokes :x But I still love her.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the first part was fuckin hilarious..."i was a wrapper in a dpt store" *raps* lls
LAWL. She's wearing socks with flip-flops XD
She looks like Kristen Stewart!
It's been week since I started loving this beautiful person and I think I'm never gonna stop!! #2021❤ and I'm here and every ellen fan should watch all her shows before Ellen show came up.❤ I love her ..
I’m always out there fighting her haters. What scam that was. Fake news
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Meg Ryan?
Same!
Joyce Salome same
Joyce Salome maybe even a little bit like Princess Diana?
Me, too.
As far as I am concerned, Ellen is the funniest person alive! She is very clever and can pull a joke out of nowhere. She deserves every bit of her success!
2:05am for me. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
LMAO just before I scrolled down and saw this comment I watched ellen come out and the first thing I said was exactly that.
Her jokes are never laugh out loud funny to me but her charisma and timing are impeccable.
Her convo with God is so clever and funny.
Thats when her girlfriend died in a car accident and she was living in a flea infested appartment... 😭😭
i hope she sent bob newhart a check though
@@Vasciannie Wait what?
the most expressive eyes ever seen
Her eyes 😍
Who doesn't like them
my comment about the ad inbetween Ellen's commedy was NOT about Ellen.. L ove her ! she's so funny ... always enjoyed her commedy!
I love this woman like Crazy
She looks like Meg Ryan here.
she sounds a lot like bart Simpson
Joke Braem lol not really
i ran out of ellen shows so now im watching the old stand up its still fun though :P
she is so fucking silly...
My Lord, is that what we wore back in the 80's? I must have looked hideous.
Yes, most of that routine was on her Johnny Carson debut, so what, you use your jokes as often as possible if the audience is new.
Yeah, this audience didn't seem as receptive. She started with some different jokes, though, so the composition has a different lead through.
Same jokes still funny
the phone call to god bit was in taste this
Talkin' ta God is first class Ellen DeGeneres.
the hair ! the shirt ! the pants ! the shoes ! :D
i love ellen so much...
She's parachuting!
Damnnn she cute af
Preach. Was not expecting that AT ALL
I'd hit. (if she wasn't gay lmao)
She was way funnier back then
She's perfectly gorgeous 💖💖💖👌🏽
She is adorable here. So cute.
I Love You Ellen
Way back in the early 90's, prehistoric human hips were much higher than they are today.
It's so funny👏👏👍she's amazing👍
she's really pretty!
She looks like she’s being devoured by her pants lol
lol 😂
I love watching her old shows!
i dont usually laugh at stand up but this... omg so funny
fucking love her outfit though.
looks like mc hammer when shes dancing :DDDDDDDD
so in love with her !
I don't know but somehow I feel she resembles Queen Of Hearts Lady Diana. Specially her hair style and her smile compels me to think in that way. She was superb pretty and still she is. Love you Ellen.
shes so cute and funny:)
If I were her age at that time, I'd totally have a crush on her, she looks so much like Kristen Stewart
Beautiful lady.
She WAS quite hot, definitely, back in the day.... fresh energy, fresh outlook..... Makes a difference
Thumbs up if you thought the boy at the beggining was Ellen...Lol
she's gorgeous
wow she kinda looks like meg ryan in this one!
Well, this is the same routine as was on Johnny Carson Show....
ellen is my faviorte comedian
The hair too!
how did no one know she was a lesbian even back then?
What makes you think they didn't know ?
it's the same things she said on her television debut! exactly the same :O
so funny
Her accent! HAHAHA! Love her.
her voice has changed
Some of it like the beginning is from her appearance on Jonny Carson
I just watched the one on Johnny Carson and yep its the same.
Thanks!
oh AND she hosted the oscars
"Let's try that note again ... Oh, to hell with it!"
😂😂
She is good
it says it is 1978
"I LOVE ELLEN"
She's beautiful.
Who else noticed that she did almost the exact same monologue with just some parts cut out that she did on the johnny carson show where she had her first tv appearance
shes beautiful
love her dance moves 1:12 lol
Is that Jerry Seinfeld ?
Been watching Ellen since the beginning. Bucket list to go to her show in Burbank one day
...because it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now!
"God bless ya, oh bless yourself!" LMFAO!
Well Martin Short showed how easy it was to entertain an audience back then by simply being loud and annoying.
Much better than some of the so-called-comedians of today.
Colin MacKinnon Hmm like Kevin Hart? if so I agree :)
Actually, I was thinking more like Carlos Mencia, Sarah Silverman, or Bob Saget. None of which are funny.
Colin MacKinnon Then I disagree Carlos Mencia shows was actually funny as for his stand up I heard he stole material from other comedians so that's lame, Sarah Silverman has her moments but she def funnier then Steve Martin and as for Bob Sagat he's hilarious now I truly see you're more of a defender of good ol Martin gj White Knight :)
Good point, him, Clay, Murphy, etc... I never got how any of them got soooo popular, and even some got there own shows, whaaa????
who was the guy singing at the beginning?
Reminds me of a young meg ryan
ADRENACHROME NUFF SAID (FREEDOM IS ESSENTIAL)🙌🏼
