Ellen DeGeneres recently shared candid insights during her stand-up performance in Santa Rosa, Calif., revealing that her upcoming Netflix special marks a definitive farewell to Hollywood.
Following the conclusion of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the former daytime talk show host addressed fans’ queries about her future in entertainment. When asked if Broadway or the big screen were in her plans, Ellen responded with clarity.
“No,” she asserted, as reported by SFGATE. “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
Despite bidding adieu to mainstream entertainment, Ellen expressed gratitude for her ongoing stage performances, where she shared updates on her life post-television.
“Thank you for still caring!” Ellen remarked. “Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me. I got chickens.”
Humorously reflecting on recent events, Ellen quipped about her departure from the industry, remarking, “Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”
In her trademark wit, Ellen predicted her next hurdle, jokingly stating, “Old, gay and mean—the triple crown,” suggesting humorously that age might be her next supposed obstacle.
As Ellen DeGeneres prepares to bow out of Hollywood, her forthcoming Netflix special promises to be a fitting farewell for fans who have followed her career over the years.
