Before Juno, Ellen Page Wanted To Try Stand Up Comedy

Ellen Page had once considered doing stand up comedy but she says she was afraid to go up on stage.  So she made a tape with her friend comedian Steve Agee. She was only 23.  Now she’s 28 and sure her career’s going fine, but imagine what could have been if Conan had noticed it then?

You blew it Conan. You’re too late Conan. She could have had an entirely different career. Because you didn’t recognize her stand up skills, she’s had to suffer making breakout indie hits like Juno, giant blockbuster films like Inception and X-Men movies, and working with geniuses like Woody Allen in To Rome With Love, for starters.  We posted the original below but you can watch it with the intro from Conan and Ellen from last night in the first video.
