The second night of the Creative Emmys this Sunday coincides with the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, which led to one of the most surreal Primetime Emmy Awards. Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, the ceremony, originally scheduled for Sept. 16, was canceled twice — once in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and once because of the start of the Afghanistan war. It finally took place on November 4. Given the somber the mood of the country, it was a thankless hosting gig for DeGeneres, but she earned praise for the deft job, receiving several standing ovations during her understated opening that featured a couple of great zingers, including this inside-Hollywood one-liner that went viral,”What would upset the Taliban more than a gay woman wearing a suit in front of a room full of Jews?”
Above is a look back at DeGeneres’ opening monologue at the 2001 Emmys with an intro by Walter Cronkite (starts 20 seconds in).

DeGeneres' first regular TV role was in a short-lived Fox sitcom called Open House. She played the role of Margo Van Meter, an office worker at the Juan Verde Real Estate company. The show co-starred Alison LaPlaca and Mary Page Keller. In 1992, producers Neal Marlens and Carol Black cast DeGeneres in their sitcom Laurie Hill, in the role of Nurse Nancy MacIntyre. The series was canceled after only four episodes, but Marlens and Black were so impressed with DeGeneres' performance that they soon cast her in their next ABC pilot, These Friends of Mine, which they co-created with David S. Rosenthal.

DeGeneres' comedy career became the basis of the sitcom Ellen, named These Friends of Mine during its first season.[17] The ABC show was popular in its first few seasons due in part to DeGeneres' style of observational humor; it was often referred to as a "female Seinfeld.[18]
Ellen reached its height of popularity in April 1997, when DeGeneres came out as a lesbian on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Her character on the sitcom also came out of the closet to hertherapist, played by Oprah Winfrey.[19] The coming-out episode, titled "The Puppy Episode", was one of the highest-rated episodes of the show. The series returned for a fifth season but experienced falling ratings and was cancelled.[20][21]
DeGeneres returned to television in 2001 with a new CBS sitcom, The Ellen Show, which was cancelled after 13 episodes. In 2007, a former writer said she treated the writers "like shit" saying "Why do you keep writing these unfunny jokes?"[22][23] After her sitcoms, DeGeneres would later re-establish herself as a successful talk show host.
