Ellen DeGeneres Teases Netflix Special: Ex-Talk Show Host Hilariously Contemplates Changing Catchphrase
Ellen DeGeneres is making a comeback with a Netflix comedy special after disappearing from the limelight due to controversies surrounding her talk show. In the trailer released by Netflix, DeGeneres confronts the issues head-on, including being “kicked out of show business.”
During the special, DeGeneres takes the stage in front of a live audience for the first time in six years. She discusses her time away from the media, which included gardening, raising chickens, and reflecting on the infamous controversy that led to her hiatus.
Reflecting on her motivations, DeGeneres admits that her initial goal in show business was to heal childhood wounds and make people happy. However, the reality did not align with her expectations, leading her to joke, “thank god for the money.” She also addresses the backlash she received, particularly regarding her famous catchphrase “be kind.”
Despite facing workplace allegations, DeGeneres remained strong and made the decision to end her show independently from the controversies. She emphasized the importance of challenging herself creatively and seeking new opportunities in her career.
