Controversies addressed

PEOPLE announced in May that Ellen's upcoming Netflix special, which will be taped on August 16 and August 17 in Minneapolis, would be her very last one. According to DeGeneres, these questions from her fans, including controversial matters, were already hinted at in this special.

It may reference allegations of a toxic workplace on The Ellen DeGeneres Show made by BuzzFeed News, which also mentioned penalization overtaking medical leaves, casual racism, and backlash against filing complaints.

However, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, DeGeneres revealed that she ended her long-lasting television program due to these allegations that followed a BuzzFeed News article claiming a toxic work environment at The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The series ended after nineteen seasons, but the actress was ready for another chapter.

A legacy of hilarity

DeGeneres’ most recent comedic gig took place at Largo in Los Angeles on April 24, where she delved into topics that have happened in her life, including being kicked out of show business because she was mean. She mentioned how glad she is to be back on stage as well as the power behind her bond with Portia de Rossi.

DeGeneres’ career spans several decades and has led to numerous recognitions. These include 12 Daytime Emmy awards, a Primetime Emmy award, a Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Her last Netflix special, called Relatable, came out in 2018 after a gap of 15 years from stand-up comedy. She made an unexpected come-back in comedy earlier this year at Beth Stelling’s Beth & Pals event, among other famous people.

Ellen’s final tour promises to be an unforgettable salute to her expansive career, providing laughter and happiness one more time for the audience.
