Comedian and host Ellen DeGeneres confirmed she is leaving Hollywood. During the audience Q&A segment of her show “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up”, which took place in Santa Rosa, California, earlier this month, a fan asked if she would return to movies after her tour ends.
“Um, no,” DeGeneres replied without hesitation. “This is the last time you’ll see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.” When asked if she would return to her roles in Pixar movies “Finding Nemo” and “Finding Dory”, her answer was the same: “No, I’ll just say goodbye, remember?”
DeGeneres launched her “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up” tour earlier this year. She has used her show to address allegations of misconduct that arose during her time hosting “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”.
The show aired for nearly 20 years and became one of the most popular talk shows in the US. “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” ended after a series of reports detailing allegations of racism, sexual misconduct, and intimidation by the host. DeGeneres apologized on air: “I take this very seriously and I want to say I’m sorry to the people affected.”
“Let me tell you what’s been going on with me since the last time you saw me,” DeGeneres said during her show in Santa Rosa. “I have chickens. Oh, and yes, I’ve been kicked out of show business for being mean,” she joked.
“I am a strong woman. I am many things, but I am not mean,” she said, making light of the situation. “Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old,” she joked. “Old, gay, and mean, the triple crown.”
The final shows of her tour will be filmed for a new Netflix special. According to People magazine, DeGeneres’ comedy special is scheduled to premiere later this year.
