DeGeneres also brought aboard long-time supporter and friend Oprah, who played a therapist in the episode. Oprah told Ellen that she got a lot of flack from viewers about appearing on the show, but it gave her important perspective.
"Twenty years ago, people kept things to themselves ... you were pretending to be who you weren't in a way ... and you are responsible for so much of that changing. You are the bravest woman ever," Oprah exclaimed before Michelle Obama could get a word in via video message.
In addition to the heartwarming interview with Oprah, Ellen brought back the cast of Ellen for the first time since the show ended, including Laura Dern—who didn't work for a year because she appeared on the episode.
"I have to say, just watching the clip makes me so emotional.
