said the comedian on TuesdaysThe Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Its crazy, they charged him a $50 removal fee.

Thats not true, thats not true.

No, your first forcible removal is free.

DeGeneres kept the hits coming.

So it was very depressing, the whole flight can you imagine?

But DeGeneres got serious as she discussed how the company handled the issue.

They had a computer pick a random person and just took them off the plane, she remarked.

That seems like a bad policy.

Heres a better policy: Dont overbook your flight.

I think United didnt want people to wear yoga pants because theres nothing to grab on to.

She acknowledged the darkness of the joke, saying, I took it too far.

I told the truth.
