This was truly disgusting from Ellen! Liza was clearly not in the best of health, yet she still came to honour her Mom’s memory, this was really uncalled for!
@@1hoseeman she was there - just behind everyone. You could not see her in the photo, but a shot from behind was shown on Ellen's show, and she DID try to jump up into the picture.
That was actually cruel. Get everyone to laugh at her on an emotional night there to pay tribute to the 75th anniversary of the film that made her mother an icon. She must have been emotional and that must have hurt.
Nothing but an emotionally scarred defense mechanism of a career. A sly and charmingly malignant-enough narcissist to fool even Johnny Carson into making the biggest fuck-up in the history of television, giving her that famous OK sign with his hand which made her famous. What no one realized until recently, when it manifested in her own behavior and frankly answered a lot of questions, is that Ellen’s whole comedy career is a crutch for a very hurt and troubled young woman using the concept and notion of comedy as a band aid for a broken self. It’s frightening in fact watching a whole auditorium at the mercy of this narcissist. When one tries to suppress their dark side for the sake of public adulation, the dark side manifests in ways the person fears most. In this case, Ellen has simply revealed through her actions that she is a zero and deep down, probably knows she is a zero hence her cruelty which gives her some twisted sense of satisfaction just as this long-winded diatribe of a UA-cam comment is giving me a sense of cathartic satisfaction. None of us are angels, so I’m going to stop typing like I’m better than her because I’m a prick too, but unlike Ellen DeGeneres, I have the integrity to admit it. Be kind! But infinitely more important, be true. Ellen gets an L in this round. Hopefully it’s within her to win next round. She’s not beyond repair… but that’s her business.
Liza Minelli: EGOT winner, icon, legend. Ellen: cancelled sitcom star, cancelled talk show host, former mildly successful stand up. Sit this one out, Ellen. So disrespectful and very unprofessional.
Liza and her siblings there to honor their mother. Three adults that as children went thru addiction hell with her but truly loved her. Ellen’s cruel side couldn’t help but come out. I realized that night this woman had a darkness in her spirit.
ELLENS JOKE TOTALLY BACKFIRES HERE AND IS A TOTALLY RUDE INSULT TO SOMEONE WHO CAME TO THE SHOW AS THERE WAS A TRIBUTE TO HER MOTHER. ELLEN REVEALS A MEAN SPIRITED NASTY SIDE THAT HIS SINCE REALLY COME TO THE SURFACE AS MANY HAVE SPOKE OUT AGAINST HER RECENTLY
To insult Liza Minnelli in front of an audience of millions world-wide was so terribly cruel, and all to harvest a cheap laugh. "BE KIND", is allegedly what Ellen believes people should practice? I contend she is a fraud and a woman who is far luckier than she is funny.
Yes, that is what Ellen "says". The thing is, she is a total fraud who thinks the Golden Rule is something used to measure the length of necklaces she buys Porsche for Christmas. As for, "BE KIND"....? Kind of what, an a-hole? 😉
It's 2021 and this hasn't aged well. When you see how De Generate has aged herself and not in a good way. That was a joke to avoid. It was easy and disrespectful. I never looked at her the same way after that.
Liza is one of the most impersonated celebrities of all time. She’s right up there with Carol Channing, Barbara Streisand, Diana Ross, Marilyn Monroe, and of course, her own mother Judy Garland. All of them enjoyed (enjoy) the attention, the adoration, the spotlight - that’s what it means to be a celebrity. To be named and paid homage to at the Academy Awards is an actor’s dream. You can be sure that she felt honored. The overwhelming acidity of these many comments just goes to show how far away we are from a true Platinum Rule culture. All these folks are projecting how They would feel and not giving a crap or even bothering to try how Liza would actually feel. How shallow, sad.
Alan...oops I mean “Ellen” , would of probably never guessed that in the year 2020 we would all see the cancellation of her terrible show! Adrenochrome withdrawal must be an excruciating thing to experience....#FALLOFTHECABAL
This was not an insult to Liza! This was a joke ... if anything poking fun at all the drag impersonators and Ellen not believing it was the actual Liza! (That is the joke... haha) It’s not meant to call Liza a man of which she is obviously not! As Joan Rivers would say... “it’s a fucking joke you idiot!”
People actually laugh and think she’s nice and clap along to her talk show when she boogies down the aisles when she has a sense of humour that’s cruel.
That seriously was a very low blow that Ellen inflicted on the incredible Liza. Disgusting actually ... shameful at any time - but a a special tribute to her mother makes the whole thing even more distasteful to pinpoint her out and to be mocked ...
Sorry Ellen. That was not funny at all. Liza Minnelli didn't deserve that crass joke. She IS an icon and a true legendary entertainer just like her mother before her. You're just crass Ellen. Shame on you.
When you can be down right cruel and not even realize it....What do you think that person can do when they put their mind to it.....That's all I have to say....
I don't like ellen cuz of her cancellation, I can't believe i used to watch her shows and shit. And her hosting this oscar just filled with toxicity (i mean they left her out on that "iconic" selfie. I would have made those actors pass to give her way) #APOLOGIZETOLIZA
Never thought that was funny. Never liken Ellen. She should only hope she can achieve the status Liza has achieved in the entertainment industry, not to mention the incredible work she did during the early days of the AIDS crisis - when few entertainers or public personalities were even acknowledging it. And Ellen - how many Grammys, Oscars, Tonys and Emmys do you have? Go away.
Liza can sing. Liza can act. Liza won an Oscar. Three things that can't be said about Ellen. That was rude and cruel. I've never watched Degeneres since and I never will. Degeneres is the one who looks like a little man.
Bullying Liza was just mean and rude. Of course a comment like that is embarrassing the person and the people who laugh are part of the problem. Donkt go along with mean jokes people!
Guys, this wasn't meant as an insult, from Ellens perspective she was just making a joke about the old cliché of the stereotypical gay male Liza Minnelli impersonations. So when she says "Good job, sir!", it comes across like she is saying Liza looks like a man, even though that was not the intention.
Everyone in the comment section is expressing how Ellen was being disrespectful and though I partly agree, it wasn't the meanest joke. I mean there have been many Liza impersonators out there so Ellen was probably just making reference to that. Also everyone in the audience including Lorna Luft were laughing so it obviously wasn't the most horrible thing to have ever said.
I consider myself pretty "woke" (and I don't deem that a dirty word, BTW). But I have to say, I was a little surprised at all the criticism of Ellen for the Liza joke. Minnelli herself has often acknowledged and joked about female impersonators doing impressions of her. She even sang about it in a reworked version of "I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore" in her "Minnelli on Minnelli" show. Maybe it could've been delivered better, maybe Minnelli should have been given a heads up, or maybe Ellen should've just done a different joke that was a little funnier... But at the end of the day, this just doesn't seem like the crime of the century to me.
It’s one thing making a self deprecating joke but to be ridiculed in front of an audience is something else entirely, especially given that Liza was older at the time and had just got out of rehab and was there honouring her late mother’s memory. It was just a really tactless thing for Ellen to do but I think Liza took it on the chin.
@@ericholck3914 Yes she had unfortunately been struggling again with alcoholism, she is such a lovely woman but I recently saw a video where she was surrounded by hangers on who tried to prop her up for paparazzi photos despite the fact she is no longer mobile, it was really upsetting and she was exclaiming in pain, it must be a really hard life being that famous and never knowing who to trust.
@@j.c985 Was that the video where she was leaving the restaurant in West Hollywood? If so then yes, it's one thing to want to get her out and about, but it's another thing to put her through the traumatic ordeal that appeared to be. It seems like Michael Feinstein has her under total control... I can't imagine he has any ill intent, but he also doesn't always seem to be acting in her best interests (e.g., last year's disastrous Oscars appearance).
Ellen might have been deservedly canceled but the fans are absolutely crazy here. This was a funny joke, Ricky Gervais has said WAY 'worse' stuff. Pretty sure Liza thought it was funny.
Ellen is so lame. She fumbled twice through the "joke" so it fell flat. She needs to memorize her teleprompted lines next time before she tries a stunt like that...
This was such a great joke, because it plays with the idea, that impersonations might actually sometimes be so good, that you don’t even recognize the real thing, when you see it. How on earth this could be perceived as a hate joke against Liza, I never understood.
I remember the following day on GMA, Liza was on because she is just that gracious and YES, Ellen....take notes; Liza is kind. Liza admittedly stated that it was hurtful to be the butt of the joke. She didn't dwell on it, though. Without skipping a beat she said she believed it was said In fun, and Liza added she admires Ellen as a talented comedienne. How generous and classy! TAKE NOTES, ELLEN.
Liza is far more talented than Ellen
I love punch that in the gob how dare she say about Lisa
Everyone is more talented then Ellen
The joke is funny but did he had to stutter 3 times in 20 words
This was truly disgusting from Ellen! Liza was clearly not in the best of health, yet she still came to honour her Mom’s memory, this was really uncalled for!
Well...Ellen is Disgusting. One of those celebrities who Fooled the masses.💯
Liza deserved more respect shame on Ellen for a cheap and disrespectful so called joke
Liza has taken worse.. and she wasn't upset she jumped up to take the selfie with Ellen and everyone else..
Pablo Luis Perez don’t defend bitch Ellen the selfie was before
@@1hoseeman she was there - just behind everyone. You could not see her in the photo, but a shot from behind was shown on Ellen's show, and she DID try to jump up into the picture.
@@christoddur Youre right!
SHES A RUDE ASS ANYWAY.
Liza is the biggest legend in that room so Ellen needs to take several seats
That was actually cruel. Get everyone to laugh at her on an emotional night there to pay tribute to the 75th anniversary of the film that made her mother an icon. She must have been emotional and that must have hurt.
To put somebody on the spot like that on national TV is cruel and mean. Ellen is mean-spirited. I hope Liza ripped her a new one after the show.
Yeah just look at Liza’s face
gratefu if you can explain me what Ellen was implying
@@YogiJiFor2029 she was saying that it was a male Liza impersonator. Bit mean lol :)
@@gra-emed3617 so the problem is not the impersonator thing, problem is calling sir, is it?
You have to remember Ellen, Liza is an icon your just an after thought know your place.
Absolutely true!!👍🏻
Liza is now too vulnerable and fragile for such jokes, let's celebrate her while she's alive, not mock her. Ellen is not funny.
answer help me, please. Who is the women sit behind liza minnelli ???
THIS is the real Ellen. Pride goes before the fall.

Why the Insult Ellen? Did Liza refuse to sleep with you? Potty not enough anymore? What u did to LIZA was uncalled for.
hahahahaha best comment here
and for that comment you're right in the trash with her. 🤦♀️
Liza Minelli: EGOT winner, icon, legend.
Ellen: cancelled sitcom star, cancelled talk show host, former mildly successful stand up.
Sit this one out, Ellen. So disrespectful and very unprofessional.
and she thinks Kathy Griffin is mean spirited
she's in the same level with
Kathy Griffin. ELLEN, you will
get what is due to you, and LIZA,
will have the last laugh
@@mariaalano3077 Oh please. Kathy Griffin isnt mean spirited at all. Trumptard are you?
Anybody who doesn't remember Cabaret I suggest u watch it along with a host if other blinding performances AND she was smokin hot.
Liza and her siblings there to honor their mother. Three adults that as children went thru addiction hell with her but truly loved her.
Ellen’s cruel side couldn’t help but come out. I realized that night this woman had a darkness in her spirit.
Boy, that really bombed.
Ellen stuttered twice. She knew she shouldn't mess with Liza. Shame on her.
Liza is one of the best Broadway performers and singers of all time. Shame on Ellen. Not funny.
Calling Liza Minnelli "manly looking"? Apparently Ellen DeGeneres doesn't own a mirror in that glass house of hers...
@HN DV we're not talking about right now, did you see the look on Liza's face after the joke? She felt insulted, but did she go up to hit Ellen? No.
Liza was pissed !
She was indeed...handled it gracefully in the press though.
Gary James id be pissed too. Wouldnt you?
Not really. She jumped up to take the selfie with Ellen and everyone else..
Pissed off..and rightly so..she was the most electrifying performer of all time.
@@jeffmiguelabsolutely. She called Liza Sir. The level of disrespect was engrossing.
That was fucked up.
She looked beautiful
I hope she apologizes to her sincerely for the rest of Liza’s life. And feel ashamed of herself for the rest of her life.
Liza is a legend, ellen is a joke.
Hmm Ellen has no right to talk about anyone's appearance. Rude!!
Ellen's sarcasm was not amusing, Liza's face was unimpressed
ELLENS JOKE TOTALLY BACKFIRES HERE AND IS A TOTALLY RUDE INSULT TO SOMEONE WHO CAME TO THE SHOW
AS THERE WAS A TRIBUTE TO HER MOTHER. ELLEN REVEALS A MEAN SPIRITED NASTY SIDE THAT HIS SINCE REALLY COME TO THE SURFACE
AS MANY HAVE SPOKE OUT AGAINST HER RECENTLY

Isn’t this the woman who says ‘be kind to one another’ 🤔
Oh yes....SMH.

I feel the same. Good comment Chris.
Ellen couldn't deliver her words out properly let alone her supposed joke.
That was cruel, this is not an impersonator, this is really Liza Minelli
Ellen's joke obviously flew over your head at 1000 mph.
She was so rude with Liza. I love the jokes but this is not a joke, honestly
Ellen is disrespectful. You can barely shine a star like Liza's shoes.
After seeing Will Smith slap Chris Rock for making a joke at Jada's expense, Liza looks like she might've done the same ...
I wouldn’t have blamed her

Ellen is soooo mean omg i can’t believe the look on liza’s face she was humiliated i am embarrassed for her and wow 😮
i think it was a bit hars from Ellen, showbiz' life has already taken it's toll on Liza. No need that kind of joke. inappropriate
Outrageous. I don't even know how i got here.
Mean people are externalizing their self-loathing.
Thankfully Lady Gaga gave her the correct props last night!!
Unacceptable! Rude! Shame on Helen ...
Shame on Ellen !! She has gotten meaner and meaner over the years ! No reason to be so cruel to Liza. Just go away Ellen.
Making cruel intent to an EGOT winner...Ellen,take several seats !!!
Alan...oops I mean “Ellen” , would of probably never guessed that in the year 2020 we would all see the cancellation of her terrible show! Adrenochrome withdrawal must be an excruciating thing to experience....#FALLOFTHECABAL
Yes, Ellen is an asshole, but your conspiracy shit is annoying.
I’m sure they still have ways of getting Adrenochrome trust me
Ellen show cancelled ! Now she just has to go away completely. Liza is amazing !!
This was not an insult to Liza! This was a joke ... if anything poking fun at all the drag impersonators and Ellen not believing it was the actual Liza! (That is the joke... haha) It’s not meant to call Liza a man of which she is obviously not! As Joan Rivers would say... “it’s a fucking joke you idiot!”
Liza looks hurt. A joke should be funny for everyone. I believe the comment was clearly malicious.
And now we see where Ellen is.
Why would audience applaud this
inhuman, distasteful insult. It's not
a joke, it's an insult.
In case you were wondering about the Ellen allegations.
People actually laugh and think she’s nice and clap along to her talk show when she boogies down the aisles when she has a sense of humour that’s cruel.
CRYSTAL GENERATION!!!!!
poor future for mankind
That seriously was a very low blow that Ellen inflicted on the incredible Liza. Disgusting actually ... shameful at any time - but a a special tribute to her mother makes the whole thing even more distasteful to pinpoint her out and to be mocked ...

Horribly mean spirited and just plain unkind.

Ellen meant it as a joke, but the joke is really off brand for her and that’s why you never see her use insults in her jokes ever.
Poor Liza she’s like did that just happen or are the pills kicking in
Jimmy Kane 😂 why not both?
Lmao...That was literally funnier than ANYTHING ive ever heard ellen say...Sheesh...Do u do stand up or is it just natural!?
Krazie B oh thanks I’ve always wanted to do stand up 👍
And whats ellen up to nowadays?
This is just mean.
Liza can sing. Liza can act. Liza won an Oscar. Three things that can't be said about Ellen. That was rude and cruel. I've never watched Degeneres since and I never will. Degeneres is the one who looks like a little man.
Liza received an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and a few Tony awards.
Shes so jealous of how powerful she is its not even funny. Jealousy aint cute ellen. Keep it cute.

Ellen go far . 🙄 CANCELLED
The Liza impersonator joke was funny but saying she looks like a man... not cool, Ellen, Liza has proven her talent and she deserves respect

The joke was okay until she said “sir”
Yikes, you ruined it Ellen
Mean Ellen
Wonder what the reaction would have been if Liza went up onstage and slapped Ellen?
Ellen is insulting someone else for looking like a man?
And she is a good impersonator of a man! So rude. No class.
Who here thinks this was great clickbait?
First, describe what isn't 'clickbait.'
Before her show called her out.😢
Way to stutter Ellen, that was not funny .
Ellen might have been deservedly canceled but the fans are absolutely crazy here. This was a funny joke, Ricky Gervais has said WAY 'worse' stuff. Pretty sure Liza thought it was funny.

Vile Hollywood at its finest
rude
Tasteless.
Ellen who?

answer help me, please. Who is the women sit behind liza minnelli ???
