Here’s the logline: For the first time in 6 years, Ellen DeGeneres returns to the stage in her new comedy special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval. The final comedy special of her historic career, 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.
Memorable moments from the trailer include her referencing being kicked out of show business, her famous catch phrase “Be kind to one another” and more.
“The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind, that was the headline. Here’s the problem: I am comedian who got a talk show and I ended the show every day by saying, ‘Be kind to one another.’ Had I ended my show by saying ‘go f–k yourselves,’ people would’ve been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind,” Ellen said in the special.
Ellen made headlines in 2020 when reports emerged about the culture of workplace toxicity alleged by her staff. Ellen herself spoke about the rumors a short time later. Then, an 11-year-old tweet surfaced which did not help the rumors.
