Netflix shared the release date for Ellen DeGeneres’ final stand-up comedy special, ‘Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval’.  Per Variety, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval” will premiere globally on Sept. 24 on Netflix; it marks DeGeneres’ second special for Netflix following Relatable (2018).

According to DeGeneres, the new special will be the last comedy special of her career, where she will discuss being “kicked out of show business” (after her daytime talk show ended after allegations of intimidation, racism and sexual misconduct). DeGeneres said in a statement: “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” 

The Netflix logline reads: “For the first time in six 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 laughs through life’s most real and absurd realities.”

DeGeneres returned to the stage earlier this year for her stand-up comedy tour, “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour,” where she took significant time to address the controversy around her talk show that began with an internal investigation of poor working conditions on the show. Her Netflix special was filmed during the final two dates of the tour in Minneapolis.
