Ellen Lee DeGeneres (born January 26, 1958) is an American stand-up comic, television host, and actress. She hosted the syndicated talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2003-2022), and was a judge on American Idol for one year, having joined the show in its ninth season.
DeGeneres has hosted both the Academy Awards and the Primetime Emmys. As a film actress, she starred in Mr. Wrong, appeared in EDtv and The Love Letter, and provided the voice of Dory in the Disney-Pixar animated film Finding Nemo, for which she was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, the first and only time a voice performance won a Saturn Award.
She also starred in two television sitcoms, Ellen from 1994 to 1998 and The Ellen Show from 2001 to 2002. During the fourth season of Ellen in 1997, DeGeneres came out publicly as a lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Shortly afterwards, her character Ellen Morgan also came out to a therapist played by Winfrey, and the series went on to explore various LGBT issues, including the coming out process.
She has won twelve Emmys and numerous other awards for her work and charitable efforts.
Ellen is currently married to actress Portia De Rossi.
