Every time I turn it on, there’s a guest host,” one fan tweeted, while another asked, “I s Ellen actually still hosting The Ellen Show ? She has a guest host like every other day.” So, where has Ellen been these days? Well, she’s likely just taking a couple of days off from work just like everyone else. Back in September, the comedian addressed why she’s been having guest hosts temporarily take her place. 9 Celebrities You Forgot Had Daytime TV Talk Shows. “Throughout the season, I’ve had wonderful people filling in for me as guest hosts.

  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.

Ellen DeGeneres' Tulane Commencement Speech: Is She Getting Through to Anybody? Abstract In this paper, I analyze the commencement speech given by Ellen DeGeneres at Tulane University in 2009. I argue that through identifying with her audience and employing a rhetorical style consisting of a careful balance between humor and tragedy as an additional factor to her use of the commencement genre style presented in Margaret LaWare’s essay, "Redefining The Good' Life': Life Lessons And Virtues In Commencement Speeches By Women,” DeGeneres is able to establish enough ethos to be seen as a highly credible source on the subject of life, and is able to resonate with her audience and make a point they perceive to be widely reasonable and sound.

    Selected Papers of #AoIR2018: The 19th Annual Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers Montréal, Canada / 10-13 October 2018 FROM YOUTUBE TO TV, AND BACK AGAIN: VIRAL VIDEO CHILD STARS AND MEDIA FLOWS IN THE ERA OF SOCIAL MEDIA A/Prof Tama Leaver Curtin University Dr Crystal Abidin Jönköping University / Deakin University Introduction While talk shows and reality TV are often considered launching pads for ordinary people seeking to become celebrities, we argue that where children are concerned, especially when those children have had viral success on YouTube or other platforms, their subsequent appearance(s) on television highlight far more complex media flows. At the very least, these flows are increasingly symbiotic, where television networks harness preexisting viral interest online to bolster ratings. However, the networks might also be considered parasitic, exploiting viral children for ratings in a fashion they and their carers may not have been prepared for. In tracing the trajectory of Sophia Grace and Rosie from viral success to The Ellen Show we highlight these complexities, whilst simultaneously raising concerns about the long-term impact of these trajectories on the children being made increasingly and inescapably visible across a range of networks and platforms. Methodology This paper is an extension of two overlapping projects: one based in traditional anthropological fieldwork with microcelebrities and Influencers and how some of these actors eventually groomed their own children as micro-microcelebrities (Abidin, 2015); and the second, a long-term cultural studies and media analysis of how tracking devices used by parents among infants and young children impact wellbeing and notions of privacy (Leaver, 2017).

Both shows are on a variety of social media platforms, though with varied effectiveness. After evaluating the social media strategy of both of these television shows we have come to several conclusions about their social media usage. The Ellen Degeneres Show has a very clear strategy behind its social media. It is clear that the show is attempting to duplicate the character of the show into its various social media platforms.
