Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres recieved the highest U.S. award for achievement in comedy on Monday, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. How awesome is that? This award is a really big deal and I must admitt, she deserves every bit of it! She just seems sincere in all that she does and goes in with a passion without caring about the preconcieved notions people have about her. She's different, a good kind of diffenet of coarse. Ellen was admired for being one of the first female comic whose unique talk show has helped establish the format for daytime television in recent years. I wish her many more achievements to come.
