Ellen DeGeneres jokes, “Why do we
need gay-dar, we have TMZ to tell us who's gay.”
During the opening monologue of her
Ellen daytime talk show, the popular comedian poked fun at a
study which concluded that gay-dar is 60 percent effective.
“This is absolutely true, not making
it up, I'm sharing with you what I read. Recently, the National
Science Foundation did a study to see if gay-dar is real. You know
what gay-dar is? For those of you who do not know what gay-dar is,
it's a term used to describe our ability to tell if someone is gay or
not. And if you're really good at it, you can tell if they're
straight but they tried stuff at camp.”
“According to the study, gay-dar is
only 60 percent accurate. That's ten percent more than 50-50. Sixty
percent is nothing to be proud of. Sixty percent of the time I know
which Olson twin I'm talking to.”
“I don't like to label people. The
only thing I label is my lunch in the refrigerator here at work. I
write lesbian on it, that way everybody knows,” she joked. (The
