Ellen Show Analysis

Oprah is widely known for her talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show”; a show about inspirational confessions and stories shared with the public to enforce the idea that no one is perfect. The philanthropist’s struggles contribute to her confessionals and friendly close knit feel with millions in her audience. People picture Oprah Winfrey as someone who is potentially just like every other celebrity; born with a silver spoon in their mouth and handed everything, this is not true. Only airing her show two decades after the civil right movement, it was still difficult as an upcoming talk show hosts. Including

The Oprah Winfrey Show is highly influential, especially to women because it allows them a forum to talk about numerous topics that are relevant of example, abuse, molestation and teenage pregnancy on a high rate and others. Winfrey has interviewed political and public figures during the past twenty years. In earlier times during the show, rather than offering a simple publicity platform, a celebrity would often be featured after a period of intense media scrutiny. She often interviews celebrities on issues that directly involved them in some way, such as cancer or charity work.

I was very shy. I was insecure. I needed to feel liked and loved, which is why most people go into this business. I wasn’t ever motivated to say, “I’ll show them.” I kept doing comedy out of love—when it works, there’s nothing better than making people laugh. There’s no better feeling.”(Time) Ellen said this when asked about how she wants to change the world. Ellen speaks out on her show and has many guests appear on her show to talk and share their stories. Ellen has many celebrities perform and talk on her show.

A civil courtroom in Nashville, Tennessee, currently has an ongoing trial over a nude tape of journalist and sportscaster Erin Andrews. The nude tape was filmed by a stalker without her knowledge and posted online against her will. This is a sex crime at its most basic level, but Andrews faced much opposition, saying that she leaked the tape herself by the media and was told that this tape would be good for her career. She was barred from doing her job at one point until she participated in a televised interview over what happened, she chose Oprah Winfrey. What happened with the tape is that when Andrews was filming a football game, Michael David Barrett altered the peephole of her hotel room and filmed her undressing. He uploaded it to the

The uprising of gay and lesbian entertainment in shows such as “Will & Grace,” Showtime series “Queer As Folk” and “The L Word,” has overthrown the former cookie cutter husband and wife TV series. Gay and lesbian affairs in the media emerged quickly after the coming out of Ellen Degeneres in her hit sitcom, “Ellen.” The comedian now has her own daytime talk show, achieving mainstream popularity for obvious reasons: she’s funny, down-to-earth, and openly gay. In earlier decades homosexuality was previously limited to a closet of taboos, where no one knew about it, and no one admitted to it. Primetime programming would never house a show in which gay men and lesbian women openly discussed their sex lives and sexual preferences, nor a show that based its entire plotline on gay and lesbian couples.

Although a majority of public figures do not identify themselves as Franciscan or consciously follow Franciscan values, plenty of them unconsciously use social media to fulfill Franciscan values such as creating a caring community, showing compassion, and making peace. Ellen Degeneres, ranked number four on Forbes Most Influential Women in Media, out ranked public figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, and Tyra Banks due to her enormous social media following (Blakeley, 2012). Degeneres uses social medium platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to foster friendship, spread kindness, care for the poor and oppressed, and promote non-violence.

What does love have to do with sex? Sex is always considered a taboo and controversial topic, whereas most think they know something about love, and they’re more than willing to give others “unwanted” free advice. However, very few people talk about both in depth together. “Last Night” by Sharon Olds and “Seniors” by Alberto Rios cover a variety of topics, but most importantly they both cover love and sex. More specifically, they cover both what the male and female thoughts are about sex, what their expectations are during the act, and where love comes into play. Both speakers are memorializing their past experiences, the experiences between the two are exceedingly different. Both poems have very similar intentions,

In today’s entertainment industry, whether it be books, films, advertisements, or television shows, white people are depicted terribly. Likewise, in her essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer tells of her struggles of being a Puerto Rican woman. Men sing songs to her, like “La Bamba” or “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina,” just because she is Hispanic. They think she is promiscuous based on the way that she dresses, but it is really just because it is hot in Puerto Rico.

In 1991, Vanilla Ice appeared on the "Arsenio Hall Show" for a now infamous interview. Hall went at the white rap phenomenon like a shark smelling blood, grilling him about his past, his dancing, his relationships with other rappers, and more.

Fiery shows like “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” have seen an influx of viewers; whereas the apolitical “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” has begun to decline. TV preferences, show content, and social dynamics have transitioned to be more political, demonstrating that our society is becoming more “tribal,” more group oriented. Last year, pre-Trump, Jimmy Fallon had the

Seane Corn’s podcast was two-fold: educational and invigorating. Hearing her talk about her journey to happiness is a true testimonial to naysayers who are having doubts about the positive effects of yoga. Corn’s journey to happiness, as she conveyed, was not an easy one. She had to clamber her way from an unsettled place as a child growing up in unstable home. She explained how her blue-collar working class parents raised her in an environment where religious practices were not present and how, as a little girl, she thought of herself as “uneducated.” She abused drugs and the tender age of 19 was diagnosed with “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.” She even suffered from an anxiety disorder but these dark episodes of her life eventually led to healing and happiness once she discovered yoga.

As per an article highlighting Joan Rivers’ prolific death in 2014 by the New York Daily News (NYDN) (2015), Joan’s daughter, Melissa Rivers, has filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against both the clinic at which her mother was falsely operated upon and the group of physicians who treated her. In her claims, as noted by the NYDN (2015), her 81-year old mother’s death was completely preventable and was due to completely ambiguous, amateur mistakes committed by those who operated upon her. In the official documents obtained by the New York Daily News, Melissa has filed accounts of malpractice against the clinic Yorkville Endoscopy (the clinic where her mother was treated) and the five physicians involved in the case. The clinic and the five physicians aforementioned have been recognized as the defendants in this litigation.

As human beings the vast majority of us wish we could change the world, whether that be helping humans, animals, the environment, it is helping those that cannot help themselves. However, we also realize to help with these causes it takes money and for the most part a great deal of it. But, some people are fortunate enough and can help change the lives of many.

This paper will discuss, Ellen 's foundations and charities, how these reflect her personal values and leadership integrity, how her giving enhances her celebrity image and whether her integrity is compatible with her image.

DeGeneres is best positioned to break out from the talk show pack when Ms. Winfrey leaves the stage. Why? Because her hour-long show is upbeat and inspirational, two traits that appeal to daytime’s core female audience, according to the studies, which TV executives rely on as they make decisions. Equally important, the 52-year-old Ms. DeGeneres is seen as relaxed and relatable. Already, she is seen as more likable than Ms. Winfrey, according to the Q Scores Company, which measures consumer preferences. (Stelter, 2010)
