Relatable: Ellen Degeneres

[Drunk Monk]

Back in the Jurassic period, the eds and I were into the live comedy scene and saw Ellen do stand up long before she became Ellen. She was sparkling and hilarious. I have a very clear memory of her schtick pondering how women could wet public toilet seats with pee. She and Bobcat Goldthwaite were favs. That must’ve been the early 80s. I knew she was special back then, but never imagined she would become what she had become.
