Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now (2003)

Ellen DeGeneres has done everything from starring in hit sitcoms and movies to writing best-selling books, to having her own talk show. But she's never forgotten her roots as a stand-up comedian. Taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre before a live audience, Ellen DeGeneres: Here And Now features the kind of humor that first made her a star, offering her offbeat insights into everyday life. Her feel-good comedy touches on something that everyone can identify with, from the obligatory gay joke, procrastination, the fashion statements of celebrates, the ironies of public cell phone use, airline etiquette, self-esteem, time saving catastrophes, and more.
