AceShowbiz - Ellen DeGeneres is closing the curtain on her career with a final stand-up special on Netflix. The 66-year-old comedian reflects on her journey, the controversies that rocked her talk show, and her ultimate farewell to the entertainment industry.

In a bold move, Ellen DeGeneres is addressing the tumultuous end of her daytime talk show and her subsequent exit from showbiz in her final stand-up special "Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval", set to stream on Netflix on September 24. The trailer reveals DeGeneres' candid approach to discussing the hardships she faced due to allegations of a toxic work environment on the set of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".

"Alright, well, let me catch you up on what's been going on with me since you saw me last. I decided to take up gardening, I got chickens. Let me see what else I can tell you about what's been going on," the comedian says in the teaser, before quipping, "Oh, yeah! I got kicked out of show business!" This light-hearted introduction sets the tone for a special that bravely tackles her professional downfall with humor.

The allegations, which came to light in a 2020 BuzzFeed News report, painted a disturbing picture of the workplace culture behind the scenes of her show, with staff complaining about "racism, fear, and intimidation." WarnerMedia's internal investigation concluded with the removal of three top producers, Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman. Addressing the infamous headlines that labeled her the "be kind" girl who wasn't kind, DeGeneres wryly remarks in the trailer, "Had I ended my show by saying, 'Go f**k yourselves,' people would've been pleasantly surprised to find out I'm kind."

DeGeneres used her now-concluded "Ellen's Last Stand... Up" tour to express her farewell to fans, reiterating at a show in Santa Rosa, California, "After my Netflix special, I'm done. This is the last time you're going to see me." During the special, she humorously yet thoughtfully reflects on her motivations for entering showbiz, "I thought, if I could make people happy, then they'll like me. And if they like me, I'll feel good about myself. All I can say about that is, thank God for the money."
