Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres is an American comedian, television host, and actress who became one of the most prominent openly gay celebrities in entertainment.
She hosted *The Ellen DeGeneres Show* from 2003 to 2022, known for its upbeat tone, celebrity interviews, and audience giveaways.
Her signature phrase be kind to one another became a cultural catchphrase, though her public image shifted after reports of a toxic workplace environment emerged in 2020.
