Uncover Ellen Degeneres's Come Up, Coming Out and Comedown ft. George Freeman

Ellen DeGeneres. You know her, you enjoyed her, and you certainly relished in her takedown. Before the comedian-actor-host had one of the most institutional talk shows on the planet, she led her own sitcom, on which she famously came out as a gay woman. At the time, she also did a cover story for TIME, titled, "Yep, I'm Gay." With TV producer and self-proclaimed "Ellen apologist" George Freeman, we trace her rise and fall — uncovering her 'Be Kind' slogan origins, the catalyst for her cancelation, and so much more. https://time.com/4728994/ellen-degeneres-1997-coming-out-cover/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncovergirlpodcast/Subscribe to Substack: https://hotndangerous.substack.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
