In 2021, it was announced that “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and former talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres (66) would have its last season, and after 17 years one of the world’s most popular talk shows came to an abrupt end.
The end of the program came after a series of revelations from both known and unknown faces who talked about a “toxic” working environment and a rude presenter.
Broken after two deaths
Actor Brad Garrett (64) and comedian Kevin T. Porter are among those who spoke out about DeGeneres.
Now the 66-year-old shares candidly about the end of the program and the burden it brought. She does so during a stand-up show in Hollywood on Wednesday evening, according to Rolling Stone.

– Derogatory and manipulative
– The hatred went on for a long time and I tried to avoid watching the news. The “be nice” girl was not nice. That was the headline. I became a one-dimensional character giving away free stuff and dancing on the stairs. Had an evil person danced on a staircase? If I had ended the program by saying: “Go to hell”, people would have been pleasantly surprised, she continues.

During the performance, DeGeneres does not hide that she has been in a media storm in the past, and highlights the time the comedy series “Ellen” was canceled shortly after she publicly came out as queer in 1997.
– For those of you keeping count, this is the second time I’ve been fired from the entertainment industry. Eventually they’ll fire me for the third time because I’m mean, old and gay.
Left behind loads of debt
The TV profile explains that the talk show was a way for her to rebuild her career after the media storm of the 90s, which is why losing “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” hurt extra.
