Ellen DeGeneres Calls Portia de Rossi Her Husband ‘Mark,’ Pretends She Has Kids in Carol Burnett Award Speech

RUSH EXCERPT:

DEGENERES: “Mark, you are my rock. Thank you for supporting me through this crazy journey I know it wasn’t easy for you or the kids, Rupert and Fiona, go to bed, I love you that’s funny because they’re in college now. But the point is, you all know me obviously you know me or else you wouldn’t have laughed at all that I feel like we all think we know someone. There’s a connection when we watch someone on TV for as long as we are on TV. And that’s what it was like for me with Carol Burnett. I felt like I knew her I felt like she showed us who she was every week she was larger than life.”
