Ellen DeGeneres is taking her cancellation in stride, laughing it off in her new Netflix stand-up special, For Your Approval. In the trailer, she jokes about her fall from grace, sarcastically suggesting that her catchphrase “Be Kind to One Another” should have been “Go F*** Yourselves.” Ellen addresses the toxic workplace allegations that tarnished her reputation, leading to the end of her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, after 19 seasons in 2022.
The special, which is expected to be Ellen’s last, sees her getting candid about her struggles with confidence and seeking approval throughout her career. She humorously reflects on her mindset, saying, “I thought, if I could make people happy, they’ll like me,” but now she laughs, “thank god for the money!”
After stepping away from the limelight and focusing on her personal life with wife Portia de Rossi, Ellen has returned to the comedy scene for one final tour. She made it clear in a recent show that she’s “done” with comedy after this last special wraps up.
Ellen’s special marks her first major return to entertainment since her talk show ended, and she’s ready to have the last laugh, as her special promises to be a memorable exit from the industry.
