You're My American Idol

I am so excited this morning. Wanna know why? Because Ellen DeGeneres is amazing, that’s why. I just read an article about her boosting ratings for American Idol. She brought about the most views since the premiere of the show. The show still brings in a million viewers each season, but Ellen pulled in 28 million viewers in just 2 nights. God I love her. I also heard on the radio this morning that she signed a contract for keep her talk show running through 2014. This means we will never have a lack of Ellen. She is our favorite for a reason.

Let me count the ways. I love Ellen as a comedian because she is real. I know that is cliché to say, but it’s very true. She is a comedian that is suitable for the whole family. There are some comedians out there who say “fuck” after every word for no reason at all. They say it just to say it or they tell dirty jokes. I know some people enjoy that, but I never felt it was necessary. Ellen can go out there and say something silly and it’s hilarious.

I read one of her books and it was quite funny. She does a standup routine before each show and it’s always rated G and very funny.

I posted the speech she gave at a college graduation and she was sincere and was talking about life lessons, but she also found a way to break the sincerity with a little joke. She makes me feel like I can do anything. I see this woman who has gone through so much to get where she is. She has been criticized and torn down and all of the above and she still got to where she is today. That shows us that we can do anything no matter what. She is married to a beautiful woman and has a very successful talk show and has created a very successful spot for herself on American Idol. She has definitely reached new heights. Some people say that when actors start talk shows they are washed up, but not Ellen. I feel as if she has defied all odds. You go girl! I feel like I need to run a mile now or something.
