Ellen DeGeneres' stand-up special, Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now, will make its network television premiere on Comedy Central February 4 at 9:30pm.
I give credit to DeGeneres for carving out her own place in the phallocentric world of comedy. She is, in my opinion, one of the best female comedians working today. I'll definitely be Tivoing this special, and hopefully my Tivo will actually record it rather than recording an Amazing Jonathan special like it did when I asked it to record Demetri Martin's latest special. Stupid technology.
One final thing: the title of her new special caused the song "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross to get stuck in my head.

I'm unsure of how 'new' this special is... I've owned it on DVD for almost three years (my memory might be a little off on that, but not by much) and I'm fairly sure it used to be an HBO special.

I also own the "Ellen DeGeneres: Here and Now" DVD.
Random side note: Ellen has always reminded me of my mom.

Here and Now is her HBO special that first aired back in June 2003. Comedy Central is just reruning it. Nothing new here.
And "upcoming sitcom for the WB"? Unless we went back in time to when her Here and Now special was new, there is no more WB network. This is a TV news website right? Perhaps you need another cup of coffee this morning...

Yep, you guys are right. I don't know how or why I missed that the special wasn't new. Thanks for catching my mistake.

I have always loved Ellen because she seems so honest when she is making me laugh. I've always thought that she would be a great friend. Andrew

I love Ellen, but when is Paula Poundstone going to be on Comedy Central. (Bravo this fall was hilarious!)
