Early Ellen Degeneres performance on Almost Live

Ready for a blast from the 80's?

I was going through some ancient VHS tapes I hadn't looked at in years, found this performance of Ellen Degeneres from 1987. Enjoy!

Oh, and by the way...Can anyone tell me the name of the comedian who pops up briefly right at the last second?
