DeGeneres’ big return to the world of comedy comes after she ended her long-running talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Showin May 2022 after 19 seasons. She previously confirmed in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter that the toxic workplace allegations that her self-titled series faced did not influence her decision to end the series.
“To all of you who have watched and supported me, thank you so much on this platform,” she said in her final monologue. “And I hope that what I’ve been able to do over the last 19 years has made you happy and taken some of the pain out of a bad day or whatever you’re going through.”
“And I hope I was able to inspire you to make other people happy and to do good in the world, to feel like you have a purpose,” she added. “And I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: If I’ve done anything in the past 19 years, I hope I’ve inspired you to be who you are — who you really are, authentically.”

Two years later, DeGeneres announced that she planned to hit the road for her Ellen’s Last Stand… Up tour.
Kicking things off in San Diego on June 19th, the 27-stop tour was set to run through August 17th. However, there was a setback in July as Ticketmaster posted an “event cancelled” message to fans attending DeGeneres’ Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago shows, which were scheduled to take place between July and August.
On one of her summer tours, the comedian addressed the future of her career, with SFGate reporting that she said, “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
