I was born on the January 26, 1958 in Jefferson Parish, in Metairie,Louisiana. I have a older brother name Vance. I graduated from Atlanta High School on May 21, 1976. I moved back to New Orleans to attend the University of New Orleans, where I majored in communications. I am best known as the first gay lead in an American TV sitcom. I got my start doing standup comedy in New Orleans before going to Hollywood in 1986. In 1994 my successful television sitcom Ellen premiered on ABC, initially titled These Friends of Mine. In 1997 a special episode featured my character, Ellen Morgan, announcing "I'm gay." At the same time, I came out publicly as being in love with her actor girlfriend, Anne Heche. Anne and I were a couple until their break-up in 2000. I restarted my stand-up career with concert tours and TV specials, had a key voice role in the animated feature Finding Nemo (2003), and began my successful run as a daytime talk show host with The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Now my girlfriend is Portia De Rossi. I love her. Love Ya.
