HI Ellen,
Why don't you play some retro music in the beginning of your show when you do the dancing?
Why not the kind of disco song ... "Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance...."
You know mix it up a bit!
Have fun / I do :-)

Gladys is so so so funny! Personally I don't give a flip as to "who" Gladys is. Some people obviously come here with an axe to grind.

Gladys=Gladness

What? Gladys is not real? She's not an 88-year old woman from Texas? I'm so sad. But her (or his) conversations with Ellen are still really funny. I'm just kinda disappointed to discover that she's not real.

I sure wish Gladys was real but either way Gladys/Scott Hardy is hilarious!!

They should bring gold digger or Something to her. I'm sure she could use it

Hey Ellen!
I love hearing what Gladys has to say, she is absolutely hilarious!!
She has her opinions that are pretty much spot on what everyone is thinking and she knows how to put them across in a funny but honest way.

I think you should add to the Gladys' quotes page, one of my favourite quotes from her, "If we all sung the same note in the choir then we'd never have harmony" thats just beautiful.

Thanks for reading and Thanks to Gladys for always managing to put a smile on my face :)

Love from Australia,

No, Gladys isn't Kenny Pitman. It's Scott Hardy, a comedian from Austin. He used to perform at Cap City Comedy Club, does voice work for radio ads, & used to call radio stations there as "Gladys". You can see him on his MySpace-he's listed as a friend on Glady's MySpace, the Scott shown with a little black dog. The best wrap-up of who Gladys really is was done by Weekend America, March 10, 2007.If you search that, scroll down, take the Gladys link, then listen to their report, you'll know. Another Austin guy, Russel Stiles, who does "old lady" calls, was angry that Scott went big time with Ellen. The two have made peace since then, though. It's definitely Scott, not Joe Sears, as some suspected.

I am addressing all of the nay sayers who are dissecting whether Gladys is real or not! In these days of federal corruption, rising unemployment, jobless families and the general economy, we all need laughter. Laughter is the best medicine.
Now, I want to say that #1. Even if Ellen was "duping" people about Gladys, would the laughter you have just had from one of these phone calls be null and void? You have just been infused with good neurotransmitters that cause longevity! So you would rather sulk and play the blame game. 2. If it started as a prank, unbeknownst to Ellen, does she bring us down with more negativity? NO 3. Many older people have fun and fast senses of humor- I lived in the home of one such man. He was in his 90's and he was spontaneous, he bowled in 3 teams and was so much fun to be around. How you live at 30, 40, 60, or 88, is how you treat the world and those around you. What's the matter with you people who must always search for the down/negative side of life? Can't you just enjoy the upsides of life??
4. I think Ellen does more for many people with her generosity and schtick than you ever could, so are you jealous?? WE LOVE ELLEN, case closed. Gladys is part of Ellen, real or not.
Get a grip.

Please, think about it folks, does Gladys really sound like a woman? No. Does she sound 88? No. Do you think all those quips come right out of her head? No. Do most 88-year-olds have Web sites and CDs? No. Ellen was duped by these guys at first and rather than tell hew viewers, she decided to play along. But, she is making them give proceeds from any Gladys sales to humane associations to benefit animals. That was her deal for not exposing them. That's the story folks, sorry to disappoint you. But Ellen shouldn't be going around pretending she's real.
