Ellen DeGeneres Now: Comedian’s Final Stand-Up Special Arrives on Netflix

Ellen DeGeneres is releasing one last stand-up special before permanently disappearing from the public eye. The comedian’s final special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, premieres today, September 24, on Netflix.

The new special is her first big project since her long-running talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, came to an end in June 2022, just two years after staffers accused her of creating a “toxic work environment.”

As anticipated, the controversy is a major topic in For Your Approval. In the hour-long set, DeGeneres discusses being supposedly “kicked out of show business” and refutes accusations that she was “mean” to her staff.

Yet, she also reflects that she “was a very immature boss” because she “didn’t want to be a boss” and is now “happy” that she is no longer in that position.
