Since she first came to prominence in the late 1970s, Ellen DeGeneres has established herself as a legend in her own right, despite a few setbacks. She is an American comedian and TV host whose peculiar observational humor is well-known. After leaving the University of New Orleans after only one semester of her communications major studies, the talk show host began her career as a stand-up comedian in her native Louisiana.
