Ellen Degeneres Replaces Paula Abdul American Idol Announcement Vintage Local News ABC Tampa Florida

There she is, It's Ellen. She was that fish Dory and on that show in the 90s. I don't remember her replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol. But then again I've never seen American Idol and I don't really know who Paula Abdul is. I did see Ellen on that show in the 90s. I can't remember what it was called though.

This is from ABC "ACTION!!!" News in Tampa Florida (home of Florida Man). Recorded August 28, 2009. I think. Pretty Sure.

Here is MTV's take. If I had known or cared about it at the time I would have said, GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL.
