Ellen DeGeneres is one of the biggest personalities on television – and her bank account certainly follow suit!
The 63-year-old The Ellen DeGeneres Show host has amassed a significant net worth in her years on television and performing stand-up on stages across the world, as well as her various endeavors as a producer.
The 46-year-old actor made a virtual appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his new film Together Together and his upcoming TV show Rutherford Falls on Tuesday (April 20).
The 63-year-old daytime talk show host and the 48-year-old retired actress held hands while walking to a farmer’s market on Sunday afternoon (April 18) in Montecito, Calif.
The 33-year-old Saturday Night Live cast member sat down for an interview with Ellen on Tuesday (April 13) and recalled her first time auditioning for the show.
“You auditioned over ten years ago and I heard that in your audition, I was one of your impressions,” Ellen said. “What happened in the audition?”
“Well, you know that audition, the first one was great and you were in there Ellen,” Melissa replied. “I don’t remember the bit I did, but I think it had to do with ‘ABC,’ the Jackson Five song.”
Melissa then sang a couple bars of the song in her Ellen impersonation and it sounded just like her!
“That’s all I remember and I’m sorry it’s so bad,” Melissa said as Ellen laughed.
Melissa‘s impressions earned her a callback with Lorne Michaels, but unfortunately she didn’t get past the second round of auditions.
“But then you didn’t get it,” Ellen said.
“I wasn’t ready, I was 21,” Melissa replied. “I wasn’t funny.”
“And now you appreciate it more probably,” Ellen added as Melissa nodded.

Ellen DeGeneres has dubbed herself the “nation’s leading expert on gay” and she’s revealing which cartoon characters she believes are gay.
The debate began online, when fans were trying to figure out if Velma from Scooby Doo is gay.
“People online are once again debating whether Velma is a lesbian,” Ellen said. “So here are my thoughts. First of all, she’s a cartoon character so no one should really care about her sexuality. Secondly, just ’cause she wears those clothes and has short hair doesn’t mean she’s a lesbian.”
“And third, obviously, she’s a lesbian,” she added. “Come on. Velma, she’s on our team….She has short hair. She has thick glasses. She solves mysteries. She’s basically the Rachel Maddow of cartoons.”
She then decided to highlight other cartoon characters, beginning with Snoopy’s Peppermint Patty. “Let’s look at the evidence here. She wears Birkenstocks. Her name is Patty. Her best friend calls her Sir, which is short for Sir-iously gay,” Ellen said.
Other cartoon characters she touched upon were Spongebob SquarePants, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and more.
