Itโs been twenty years sinceย Ellen DeGeneresโ sitcom character, Ellen Morgan, came out as gay in โThe Puppy Episodeโ of her show โEllen.โ Ellen also came out in real life after that episode, and she decided to celebrate the anniversary of her momentous decision on her show.
The special episode ofย The Ellen DeGeneres Showย included a cameo from Oprah Winfrey, who had played her therapist in that historic episode. But it also featured a surprise message that not even Ellen knew about as a video went up of none other than former First Lady Michelle Obama.
โCongratulations on the 20th anniversary of announcing to the world who you really are. Time and again you have shown us what love really means. You are brave. You are kind,โ Obama said before she joked,ย โYou are a terrible person to go shopping with.โ
โAnd I absolutely adore you. Congratulations again. Love you much,โ she added.
Ellen couldnโt stop smiling through the whole message and replied,ย โWow. I love you, too, Michelle.โ
