DeGeneres
Talk show host
DeGeneres is the surname of Ellen DeGeneres, the American comedian and television host.
Her talk show ran from 2003 to 2022, and her 1997 coming out as gay—both personally and through her sitcom character—was a watershed moment in LGBTQ visibility.
The name appears almost exclusively in reference to her: Have you seen the DeGeneres interview?
