Ellen DeGeneres has a sterling reputation. In 2015, she even won the top spot in an online NBC News "State of Kindness" poll, with participants finding her nicer than other well-liked celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Chris Pratt. One former production assistant claims her time working with DeGeneres taught her how to become her "most authentic self." Needless to say, plenty of celebrities think she's amazing, and she's popular among her peers. When DeGeneres turned 60 in January 2018, celebrities like Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, and Justin Timberlake lined up to wish her a happy birthday.
Meanwhile, after well over a decade on air, The Ellen DeGeneres Show show remains as beloved and respected as its host, with her two-part birthday celebration in February 2018 drawing terrific ratings, thanks in part to appearances by the likes of Michelle Obama, Sofia Vergara, and Chance the Rapper.
