LARRY SANDERS SHOW, THE: ELLEN, OR ISN'T SHE? (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series starring Garry Shandling as Larry Sanders, a late-night talk show host. In this episode Larry, in an attempt to boost ratings, has the good fortune to book Ellen DeGeneres on his show. Artie, his producer, wants him to force her to go public about her homosexuality on the air, and against his better judgment, Larry agrees. They meet over dinner to discuss her appearance on the show, and wind up kissing and eventually going to bed together. Having been convinced that lesbians sometimes have sex with men, Larry decides to go ahead and still force the issue with her. Pleading with Ellen to be honest with the public, he is surprized when she confesses to something very different from what he had expected. Commercials deleted.
