Official Date Set for Ellen DeGeneres' Final Comedy Special

The end is near for Ellen DeGeneres' comedy career, and it's all happening on Netflix.

As reported by Variety, DeGeneres has stressed that this will be her last go round as a comedian after she was unceremoniously "kicked out of show business" and her daytime talk show met its end. The Emmy-winning "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" ended in May 2022 after 20 years.

Of course, there were a lot of nuances around her show's cancellation, including allegations of intimidation, racism, and sexual misconduct on the part of her staff, and some other accusations about her just generally not being a nice person.

Yet, she has pressed on, and she says she is ready to tell it all.

"To answer the questions everyone is asking me – yes, I'm going to talk about it. Yes, this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life," DeGeneres said in a statement about the show, titled "Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval."

"For the first time in six years, Ellen DeGeneres returns to the stage in her new comedy special," reads the logline for the show, adding that in the "final comedy special of her historic career, Ellen gets personal and reveals what she's been doing since being 'kicked out of show business'."

The logline continues: "From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand-name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings laughs through life's most real and absurd realities."

The special was filmed during a mini tour titled "Ellen's Last Stand...Up Tour," which reportedly was cut short due to low ticket sales.

DeGeneres' previous Netflix special was 2018's "Relatable."

Look for the new special to hit the streaming platform on Sept. 24.
