Today In Ellen History

On this day in 1965, Ellen gets in trouble for making a paper plane out of her math test and throwing it out the window.

On this day in 1979, Ellen attends her 1st grade reunion. She gets stuck while sitting in her old desk and her teacher has to call the fire department to get her out.

On this day in 2006, Ellen hosts her 30-year high school reunion - and flies all her classmates out to LA!

I remember the reunion show!...but what really sticks in my memory is that there was this one lady who seemed really bitter about Ellen "stealing" her boyfriend or something to that effect...I couldn't believe that she had kept that candle burning over the years! And, of course, Ellen was her funny, gracious self and didn't miss a beat as this woman seemed intent on bringing the energy down a few notches...Ellen didn't let her...yeah, the reunion show...

I just want to tell you I love you! I have watched you on TV since I was little( I am 27 now) and I really think you paved the way for my generations acceptance towards all types of lifestyles. I want to thank you for that! You are a real person with real emotion and love for all things and you project that daily. We need more people like you out there in the world. Plus you are funny as hell! Not to shabby of a dancer eather...I watch your show as often as possible, sometimes I have to work though :) Hey maybe you could get my work to make an "Ellen Hour" for your show and everyday we stop to watch you! sounds good to me...anyways I just wanted to tell you that you are fabulous and I hope to continue to see you for years to come. PS You should really go for the tonight show, not Conan! :) Tank you for bringing acceptance, love and laughter into our lives daily.

Hi Ellen

In South Africa we see your shows one year later (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), but I wouldn't miss them for anything.

I particularly love your stand-up comedy, but enjoy your special guest interviews too.

You are a born entertainer and a very special lady.

Kind regards

Mary-Ann van Heerden

Hi Ellen,
Thanks again for the 32" T.V. i got on your birthday show!! We love it!!!! You know what i'd really love though?? To play poker with you!!! That would be a blast!!! :)

Hey Ellen! I now have a chance to watch your show everyday. I lost my job because my company went under. It's the old real estate business, but thats ok because I have a job waiting for me to go to in a couple of months in the mean time I have been lucky enough to be able to watch you show and you have me crying most of the time because you are so giving to people. I could make a great commercial for Kleenex. You are also very hillarious. Now that I don't work my husband wants me to make sure the house is clean. He wants me to paint and clean out cabinets and closets. Hello!!!! I try but when he is gone I watch a little TV. So I do little here and there just to make him happy. But he really never knows what I am doing. I love the railroad!! I really just wanted to let you know what a great person you are. Keep up the good work. If we had more people like you in this world we would be living in a much better place. By the way I am turning 50 also April 6th and I feel 25. Well Ellen you take care of yourself.

Hello Ellen DeGeneres,
Today I like your Topic and Comments is Today In Ellen History on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for This
Week in February 2008.

Hey there straddle pants...I am glad I am not an egg cause you crack me up!! This would be a funny trick you could play on all of us on april fools day, wear some pants that are going to split right down the back when you straddle the table. I have been paying close attention to your face while you dance, my daughter just got engaged this summer and says I can't dance at her wedding because she thinks I have a very bad dance face, so I have been practicing on my face while dancing with you everyday. Thanks for all you do!!! Give Striker a kiss for me!! Carol Schoen

Hey Ellen..
My name is Diana Raycroft and I am from Kingston Ontario Canada. I just wanted to be one of those people that comment on here. weather or not you actually read these I don't know either way I think your great. I try to catch your show as much as I can, and when I do its always very entertaining. I would love to come to one of your shows but sadly I don't have the money to come all the way there.. So watching on Tv is the next best thing.. or something that sounds good..

well I am pretty sure I have ranted enough..

Thanks for all the laughs

Diana
