ELLEN HERE AND NOW
Sat., June 28 HBO, 9pm.
Ellen returns to the stand-up circuit with this very funny concert taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre in May. She begins by
pondering procrastination and then offers a wide range of quirky observational insights into everything from opening CD's to 24-hour
newscasts (including what she calls her obligatory gay joke). The real knockout punch of the show comes at the end, when she veers
back to the topic of procrastination and shares an insight into the subject that renders this special Half Comedy, Half Genuinely
Effective Self Help Seminar.
