She Wasn’t Always Considered The Funniest

Source: https://www.biography.com

Ellen has created a name for herself in the business of comedy as being one of the best ones out there. But it would seem that Ellen wasn’t considered the ‘funny one’ in their family. Many don’t know that Ellen has an older brother named Vance, who was said to be ‘the joker’ in the family. Growing up in New Orleans, Ellen preferred to spend most of her days outside biking around her hometown, not necessarily coming up with new jokes to share. It was only when her parents decided to divorce that she began using comedy as a medium to cope with the hurt, as well as trying to deal with the pain of her family being split up.
