Ellen DeGeneres Announces Last Stand-Up Special

Ellen DeGeneres is set to release her final stand-up special, 'For Your Approval,' on September 24, which marks her return to comedy after a six-year hiatus following the end of her talk show amid bullying allegations. In the trailer, she humorously reflects on her fall from grace, stating, 'I got kicked out of show business,' while addressing the shocking contrast between her 'Be Kind' persona and the accusations of a toxic workplace environment. DeGeneres admits to using her comedy career to heal childhood wounds, emphasizing that her intention was to make people happy, not to pursue fame or wealth. The fallout from the scandal included an internal investigation that led to the dismissal of key staff members from her show. DeGeneres acknowledges her flaws, stating that she strives to be the best person she can be, even if she is not perfect. This special is promoted as her swan song, where she plans to share personal anecdotes and her experiences since her controversial exit from Hollywood.
