Hi there! In this week's bonus video, we're exploring the mystery of the Ellen DeGeneres Variety Show -- a program that was filmed but never broadcast in the late 90s. We're also looking at how Ellen's comedy career was nearly derailed by, of all things, CATS. Yes, the musical. Plus ... Ellen is apparently related to Madonna??? Lisa Kudrow is here to explain it all.
Oh and we just added a Los Angeles appearance to my book tour! Details at gaysitcoms.com.

I was so mad at NBC when they cancelled it. Looking back as an adult now, I know how silly it was. I still think of it fondly, however. It was exactly the thing for my 5 year old brain. :-)
