Bob Newhart/Seinfeld/Larry David rolled into one person!, 15 January 2004
Author:

I find Ellen to be a combo of Bob Newhart and Jerry Seinfeld/Larry David.
She has Newhart's dry, deliberately paced wit and the Seinfeld/Larry David
(to me, these two are one unit) style of questioning society's everyday
idiosynchrasies and playing devils advocate in a "curmudgeon" style of
questioning many things that society deems proper and obligatory, like
making small talk with people you can't wait to get away from...
She has no problem admitting that on most nights she is asleep by 10:00
p.m.
and leads a fairly "normal" lifestyle (as much as a true celebrity can,
that
is). She is so NOT pretentious...
She's even "invented" her own little dorky 30 second dance that she struts
in front of the audience with the help of her in-house musician, not
caring
whether it's "hip" or not...
i don't think she's capable of using profanity, so her show is about as
clean cut, family fare as you'll find on a non-cable station (but NOT
syrupy
sweet) --- YET, she's as funny as the best of the x-rated comedians, just
like Bill Cosby can be...
She's also likable because she is humble and often self-deprecating; she
underplays her achievements and accomplishments...
And, she's extremely respectful to her guests, letting them completely
finish talking before asking her next question. So many talk show hosts
(Larry King being the worst offender) simply butt in mid-sentence to a
guests reply and want to steal the limelight. Even Oprah would constantly
butt into Dr. Phil's conversations when he originally started as a regular
on her show.
Go Ellen!!
