Ellen DeGeneres Returning for Last Comedy Special of Career

Ellen DeGeneres’ new comedy special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval will premiere on Netflix Sep. 24 and is set to be the comedian’s last-ever special.

Ellen DeGeneres Says She’s “Done” After Upcoming Netflix Special

Ellen DeGeneres is headed back to the small screen. 

The former daytime talk show host will be returning to Netflix for a new comedy special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, which will premiere globally on Sep. 24, according to a press release from the streaming platform.

For Your Approval marks Ellen’s second time working with Netflix following 2018’s Relatable. And much like her last go-around, the 66-year-old—who has been married to Portia de Rossi since 2008—isn’t afraid to get candid, especially as this is the last comedy special of her career.

“To answer the questions everyone is asking me,” she wrote on Instagram when her special was first announced in May, “Yes, I’m going to talk about it. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life.”

During the standup event, Ellen will get personal and reveal what she’s been up to since being “kicked out of show business” and ending The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022, according to Netflix’s press release. 

In fact, the comedian recently gave fans a peek at what can be expected during a standup set in Santa Rosa, Calif. in July.

When one fan asked if they might eventually see Ellen on Broadway or the big screen, she responded, per SF Gate, “Um, no. This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”

As for what she’s been filling her time with over the past two years, Ellen joked, “I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”

Making a guess that next she’ll be “kicked out for being old,” Ellen quipped, “Old, gay and mean—the triple crown.”

But the Finding Dory star made sure to share how grateful she was for all her fans who turned out, telling the crowd, “Thank you for still caring!”
