Earlier this week, Mississippi’s governor Phil Bryant signed HB 1523, one of the most discriminatory pieces of anti-LGBT legislation in recent memory, into law. The law gives a blanket protection to those who wish to discriminate against LBGT individuals on the basis of “religious freedom” in a number of instances.

Ellen DeGeneres, of all people, was not going to be quiet about it and gave an equally rousing and sweet statement about the unfortunate turn of events on her show.

Watch it here and realize this is all happening in 2016 for some reason.

Quincy Jones got to return to The Ellen DeGeneres Show for an even bigger surprise than he got last time.

Last time, Ellen gave Quincy an appearance on the show to share his story and a plea to Netflix or HBO to air his special as well as a $10K donation from Shutterfly.

This time, Quincy got the news that HBO will indeed air his special and also received an additional $15K from Shutterfly.

So, in total from the Kickstarter and Shutterfly, Quincy has received $75,273 in donations for the special and living expenses.

His special is set to tape on Monday, April 4th at the Teragram Ballroom, which is in Westlake, just west of Downtown LA. There is a 7PM and 10PM show that you can attend. Tickets are $10-$20.

We’re guessing tickets are going to go fast, FYI.

This is particularly notable as only Jimmy Fallon has a longer contract in place as a talk show host.

While the boys fight it out on late night, Ellen DeGeneres has held her position in daytime on The Ellen DeGeneres Show quite firmly for several years now and a number of local TV affiliates have renewed their contracts for the next five years.

Fallon has one year up on Ellen as his next set of contract negotiations come in 2021, but Ellen has also got Ellentube and Finding Dory coming out this year.

While you might have said 2016 might be your year, it’s definitely going to be Ellen’s year.
