After 19 seasons on the air, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” ceased to exist after the namesake host said her final goodbyes in 2022. Her oft-repeated tagline at the end of every episode of the daytime talk show was “Be kind to one another,” a sentiment DeGeneres seemingly meant every time she uttered the words. However, after a series of stories involving the host and fellow producers leaked detailing a toxic work environment towards her employees, DeGeneres exited the entertainment business.

More than two years later, the comic returns to the standup stage seemingly for the last time, with a Netflix special called “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval.”
