Early Ellen Degeneres performance on Almost Live

Ready for a blast from the 80's?
I was going through some ancient VHS tapes I hadn't looked at in years, found this performance of Ellen Degeneres from 1987. Enjoy!
Oh, and by the way...Can anyone tell me the name of the comedian who pops up briefly right at the last second?

I forgot how cute she was in the 80s. I saw her live in San Francisco. She was charming and adorable.

[@RossShafer]

Ellen had just done the Tonight Show (a big deal) but she was (and still lis) humble and happy to do what she does

[@bhinderbinder]

THANKS for posting! Priceless. She's just such a natural.

[@MAO13092]

[@bwdrums1]

Back in the day I found her very attractive. Absolutely striking blue eyes, blonde (I'm a sucker for blondes and I liked her hair cut here). I had a feeling she was gay, not that there's anything wrong with that....lol. Anyway, I really liked her stand up , she was/is very good at it.

I would have watched this when it was on. It was such a great show. I miss Ross Shafer.

[@EilertPilarmDM]

interesting she mentions wanting to own a pet store....in the late 80s she did a local advert on Tucson TV as a pet store owner. advert was for a bank I think. But she was so darned cute. I keep looking for that advert to show up on youtube. someday......

[@SpicyDolphin24]

Ellen has an epic mullet!

[@freedive2]

[@nestorhugo8079]

oh my.. Yolanda is a typhoon that hit Philippines 2 or 3 years ago and killed thousands of people. :(

[@digitdouglas]

Too funny!

[@stevarino1989]

lol I would've never thought she'd say "I don't know where the hell she is." She never says that stuff on her current talk show.

[@LittleLulubee]

Haha, at 6:04 she almost outed herself.

[@jbrisby]

@brownmachine6969 It's Ross Shafer.
