Ellen DeGeneres Talks About Running For President and What She'd Do in Office

Apr 13 2016 - 6:30pm

Ellen DeGeneres [1] 2016? On her show, the comedian talked about a new poll on ranker.com [2] that places her as the No. 1 celebrity out of 50 who should run for president. What does she have to say about it? "Thank you and not interested — thank you. That sounds like the worst job in the world to me."

She cracked jokes about other people on the list, like Oprah who came in at No. 9: "She doesn't want it anyway. She would have to move into a smaller house." Ellen got a little more serious, saying Portia de Rossi [3] would be a beautiful first lady and how if she were president, she would close the gender wage gap [4] (along with putting the gas tank on the same side for every car).

This comes a week after her powerful monologue about the antigay bill in Mississippi [5].
