3. Remember if Johnny

called the comics over to the desk, it meant that he really liked them.

[monmouth]

4. I think it was Jerry Seinfeld who said the same thing. If you were invited to the

desk you had a high approval rating and doors would open.. Ellen has aged so well.

6. "Ellen has aged so well." That's the first thing I noticed.

I think she is more attractive today than she was then.

[monmouth]

7. Me too. No boozing or butts (my kids expression) and it shows..n/t

5. You can almost see her physically relax after the first big laugh and just fall into the bit.

She's a natural.

[monmouth]

8. I think one of the many reasons Carson liked her was that she was a natural. Nothing

fake or divaish about her. He hated divas and mostly ignored them..
