Ellen DeGeneres Announces Final Stand-Up Special Premiere Date

Ellen DeGeneres announced that her final stand up special, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval,” will premiere later this month on Netflix.

In a post on Tuesday on Instagram, the 66-year-old comedian and talkshow host wrote, “My final stand up special, ‘Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval,’ will premiere September 24th on @Netflix.”

Earlier this year, DeGeneres announced she’d be returning to the streaming site for an hour-long comedy special, later saying it was likely her last. She also hinted that she will talk about the end of her successful talkshow in the new special.

Over the summer, the former talkshow host did a couple small comedy shows in California, where it appeared she was working on her set in preparation for the Netflix special, as previously reported.

At a nearly-sold out San Francisco Bay area show in Santa Rosa, DeGeneres addressed her departure from daytime TV following “toxic” workplace claims on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” after 19 seasons, SF Gate reported. A Buzzfeed report published in 2020 about “The Ellen Show” claimed it was a “toxic” workplace — full of intimidation and even alleged sexual abuse.

“Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,” the comedian told the crowd. “I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”

“I used to say, ‘I don’t care what people say about me,'” she added. “Now I realize I said that during the height of my popularity.”

During her set, DeGeneres also pointed out that her recent ousting wasn’t the first time she was kicked out of show business, pointing back to when she said it first happened in 1997 when she came out as a lesbian.

“Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old. Old, gay and mean, the triple crown,” DeGeneres joked. “I can be demanding and impatient and tough. I am a strong woman.”

“I am many things, but I am not mean,” she added.

The second special on Netflix from the former daytime talkshow host comes following her return to stand-up after 15 years in 2018’s “Relatable,” Deadline reported.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
