I think Adam was great. The episodes with him in it were always good.
It'd be cool if they had some sort of reunion thing.

Is Adam the band leader guy?

I know that one guy's name is Houston. Pronounced Houston, not Houston.

oh sorry, I thought you were referring to ellen the sitcom. On the talkshow, my fave besides ellen of course, is Joyce Bends! So funny and cute! I guess it makes since that she is my next favourite after Ellen since she is her understudy.

I've got to say Paige, too. I thought she was hilarious, and ridicilously obnoxious at times. I loved it! :P after the Ellen-Paige kiss, when Ellen asks :"was that your tongue?!" - and that face she makes - that is such a Paige moment...
Oh, and I liked Spence, too but Paige was way up ahead!
I think Fisher was cast perfectly and she made Paige her own.
Unbelievable chemistry between Paige and Ellen on screen.

Yip have to agree with the Paige thing, found Audrey truly annoying, most likelydue to the squeaky voice

PAIGE OF COURSE......DID ANY OF YOU WATCH THE "E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY" ON ELLEN DEGENERES????? FISHER (PAIGE) COMMENT ON HER HAVING ONLY ONE SCENE PER SHOW AFTER ELLEN'S "COMING OUT" ON THE SHOW. PERSONALY I WOULD HAVE RATHER SEEN FISHER MORE ON THE LASTS EPISODES.

well it wasn't literally 1 scene, she just ment that she appeared less than she used to. It was because Ellen got a g/f and some of the episodes focused on their relationship. So Paige somethimes flew out of the picture.

07-23-2005, 03:47 AM
although he was a later character, i have to say spence was my favourite...

jeremy piven is comedy genius and a vastly underrated actor (in my opinion, obviously!!)

"that's not the way it works in het world..."
"oh cos i've heard bi world has twice as many rides..."

it's not an exact quote, but it gives the general gist! one of my fave bits... just got to wait for it to be out on DVD... :eh: sixteen years later... lol

Jeremy Piven is most excellent in the new HBO series Entourage, he plays an agent called Ari.

He seems much smaller than he was in the Ellen days.

Ah well, sure it will make it to UK soon.

i would have to say my favourtie character, other than Spence, had to be the hill-billy character in the book club, i love when he leaves a message on ellens phone..

'please ellen put me on the book-chat-show' heehee, cracks me up everytime (yes i know, simple things...) :lol:

The red-headed guy was ellen's gay guy friend (I can't remember his name) and I think the other guy was his boyfriend but I'm not exactly sure.

07-28-2005, 11:24 AM
The ginger haired guys character name was Peter (actor's name is Patrick Bristow) and the other guys character name is Berret (actor's name is Jack Plotnick)

Patrcik has starred in Austin Powers and So I Married An Axe Murderer?

Jack has starred in Meet the Fockers.

LOL! Actually, the first time I saw her music video on the tele - in what I believe to
have been the late 80's - I couldn't tell whether she was male or female! It "made"
me look up information to know for sure.

I would have to say my favourite character was Joe, I loved his sarcasm. I was kinda dissapointed because in season 5 the other characters weren't featured as much in previous seasons it was more focused on Ellen.

I didn't realise it @ the time when it was originally aired, but in retrospect, you're
absolutely right...the others rather fell to the wayside, which really was a shame.
Each had a lot to add to the overall chemistry of the show that I now see how it
was needed & missed.

Of course, besides Ellen, my favorite character was Audrey. She was just so giddy and cute and bubbly. She always made me laugh.

02-06-2006, 04:36 PM
lol, yeh Audrey was brilliant. i love how she annoyed every1, coz, every1 has a freind like that.
Someone who you love to death, but sumtimes u want to pan their head in, not literally , of course..., just hearing audreys voice tho, was hilarious, " hi ELLEN" :D

i love ellens mum too, i thought she was gr8!!Specially the epsiode where shes trying to get ellen to b her "freind" and they are playing cards with louis' freinds, and they tlk bout their sex lives, and ellen drops herself in it, brilliant.

Paige is cool too, i love that spa episode, when paige gets her head stuck in the gate, an ellen gets her top caught, - i thought that was jus utter class!!

oh and trivia...which im sure you already know...but the guy who plays Rick (sorry forgot his name) also stared with Portia on Ally McBeal...and if im not mistaken werent they an item on the show?

I love everyone on the show. Who can resist Paige. And as annoying as Audrey is, she cracks me up. I must say though, besides Ellen ( of course) Spence is my favorite. He is so damn attractive and such a good character from a great actor.

06-06-2009, 01:40 AM
Don't mind me posting.. I wasnt around when these were created so I just felt like giving my opinon.

My fave character was Audrey (firstly because i use to love pink, and i started doing my hair like audreys in 8th grade lol) I love when a character can be annoying, but not be that way in real life. but I also love paige, joely fisher is a great actress even though paige was kinda all for herself I always thought she was a great friend to ellen, and i like jeremy piven now because im a big fan of entourage, and thought he was quite funny on this show, i wonder if he and ellen are still friendly?

Spencer is so great!

tcsced
08-07-2009, 06:41 PM
I liked each character in a different way...they all had their own unique qualities.

Audrey was so sweet, but couldn't take a hint, and had that aggravating quality about her of course.:p

Paige was obnoxious, and the complete opposite of Ellen, yet they were best friends.:p

Joe was very dry and sarcastic....I LOVE THAT!!:D

Spence was very driven, but had a temper at the same time, which sometimes got him into trouble.:p

But Ellen was the best...always getting herself into more trouble trying to always do the right thing.:)

08-07-2009, 07:09 PM
I also like each character as I watch the series everyday.

I love her mom and dad... her dad especially may he RIP.

Audrey and her wearing pink all the time. She was obnoxious in the earlier series but turned out to be rather hilarious and not so negative.

Paige is so so funny because she is so self centered and has that thing to do with her hair.

Spence is just funny and smart and a great actor. His temper is what caught my eye.

Joe is great. The show wouldnt be complete with his sarcastic remarks.

I also loved Adam and was disappointed they let him go. That episode was sad.

And of course there is Ellen... pleasing people no matter what, kind of a push over, but never wants to be the bad guy.

The book group of course. Karen (pronounced Car en) but they kept calling her Careen, Coral, Crayon, Canteen lol

They are all special in their own way.:scoolblue::scoolblue::scoolblue:

I like Adam..and Paige
isn't it wierd how Audrey was in one episode in season 1 and her charecter was very diffrent from what she was like when she joined the cast full time?

08-08-2009, 12:34 PM
Paige, of course, but I always liked Barret too...especially the way he kept calling Ellen "Elaine"! Gets me everytime!:D

Actually I loved 'Anita' played by Maggie Wheeler in Season One (These Friends of Mine aka). Anita's character was hilarious and I thought she had a great rapport on-screen with Ellen. Holly was funny too, as was Adam. Season One, for me was the funniest. It had me rolling around laughing. When Season Two begun, Holly and Anita had gone, and Paige was the new character. No explanation where her pals had disappeared to! I have never heard why the cast changed between 1st and 2nd series, does any-one here know? It's a question that's bugged me for years. Thanks :)

08-09-2009, 12:00 PM

I agree with AB! It's hard to pick a favorite (besides Ellen ofcourse) because they all added so much to the show. Thank-goodness for DVD and youtube so i can still watch:p

Although Audrey is pretty funny too sometimes. Her character just seems less real than Paige's which is why i like Paige better
