RantCrush Top 5: January 20, 2017

On her show yesterday, Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to the presidential couple with a special video montage of some of the times that POTUS and FLOTUS have appeared as guests. It contains some of Barack’s dance moves, the push-up competition between Ellen and Michelle, and a visit they all once made to the drug store. “This is the last day that Barack Obama will be our president. I want to thank him for changing my life,” Ellen said. “I am a legally married woman because of him and so is my wife [actress Portia de Rossi].”

On Wednesday night Ellen won three People’s Choice Awards, making her total number of wins a record-breaking 20. Recognition of Ellen–a gay woman who essentially had her sitcom canceled because of the backlash after she came out–is all the more important during these trying times. Check out the moving Obama tribute below!
