Ellen DeGeneres is making a comeback with a final stand-up special on Netflix, marking her return to comedy after stepping away from The Ellen DeGeneres Show amid workplace toxicity allegations.

Ellen closed the chapter on her long-running show amidst the turmoil and took responsibility for the workplace culture, expressing regret and issuing apologies to those affected. As a result of internal investigations, three executives were dismissed. The upcoming Netflix special will be produced by Ben Winston and Fulwell73. Alongside this special, Ellen is also gearing up for a multi-city stand-up tour starting in June 2024 in San Diego.
