Ellen DeGeneres has been making the rounds this year for her first stand-up outing since 2018. This time is a bit more somber, however, as she’s announced that this will be her farewell to stand-up, and now her final stand-up special is coming out.

”To answer the questions everyone is asking me- Yes, I’m going to talk about it. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life,” DeGeneres announced previously in a statement. “Talk about it” refers to the accusations she received about the toxic environment that allegedly went on behind the scenes of her talk show. DeGeneres has previously talked about these accusations, but it will be interesting to hear what sort of perspective time has brought.

The special - titled For Your Approval - was taped just a few weeks ago at The Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. And in the final hour, “Ellen gets personal and reveals what she’s been doing since being “kicked out of show business.” From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings the laughs through life’s most real and absurd realities.”

The special drops on Netflix on September 24th.
