Ellen Degeneres Has Released Her Latest Netflix Special And People Already Have Strong Feelings

Posted on 25/09/2024 by Boris Clair

Ellen Degeneres’ latest comedy offering has already sparked a lot of conversation, and probably not for the reasons she was hoping.

On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled For Your Approval, Ellen’s newest stand-up comedy special, which she is billing as her last ever.

The special marks a major step back into the spotlight for Ellen after the much-publicised end of her talk show in 2022, following a BuzzFeed News report featuring the accounts of nearly a dozen former employees who accused the presenter of fostering a toxic work environment on the set of her eponymous daytime series.

In the report, Ellen and executives on the show were accused of regularly making inappropriate comments about employees’ race, firing staff for taking medical leave and creating a general culture of fear within the workplace.

And while Ellen does address the controversy throughout her special, people aren’t exactly impressed with the way the subject is handled.

For Your Approval opens with a perturbed-looking Ellen surrounded by negative tweets (as they were then known) about the allegations, with one clip that’s been viewed on X almost eight million times branding the set-up “ridiculous”.

Just what I thought. Ellen’s Sad Girl Hours.

She claims she got cancelled. But you’re not cancelled when you have a Netflix special and a Kind (lmao) Skincare Brand.

Cancel culture is not real. Stop making it a thing. https://t.co/TXGsq14J8K

It’s also been pointed out that the now-deleted tweet at the centre of the montage, inviting people to share “insane stories you’ve heard about Ellen being mean”, obscures the fact that for each one, the original user offered to donate money to an LA food bank.

Early on in her set, Ellen jokes that she has been “kicked out of show business” since she last did a comedy special, which has also raised eyebrows, given the several deals that the award-winning comic still has in place.

Love watching comedians make a mockery of all the people they hurt during their careers! https://t.co/FnqlZJxiVf

An emotional Jennifer Aniston broke down in tears as she helped Ellen DeGeneres launch the farewell season of her daytime chat show.

The final run of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is coming to an end after the upcoming 19th season, begins airing next week and a sneak-peek sees the former Friends star among the guests.

It’s a full-circle moment for the actor, who was the first ever star to appear on the show when it launched in 2003.

In the teaser clip, Jennifer breaks down in tears as she walks out to greet the host in front of a fully masked studio audience.

“What the hell? This is not supposed to be emotional. God dang it,” Jennifer says.

Jen then jokes she had barely left the house in two years, before taking Ellen to task about the state of a welcome mat she gifted her when the show first started.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel will be the first guest on the final season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, with actress Tiffany Haddish, Kim Kardashian West and social media stars Charli and Dixie D’Amelio also appearing.

The final series of Ellen’s show comes in the wake of July 2020 reports of a “toxic” work culture on the show.

BuzzFeed News spoke with 36 anonymous ex-staffers, all of whom shared stories of the improper treatment they experienced or witnessed on set. Three producers left the show amid the allegations of “sexual misconduct and racially insensitive remarks.”

After that report, Warner Bros. said parent company WarnerMedia launched an investigation that revealed “some flaws in the show’s daily management.” The studio also said it was “disappointed that the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show’s day-to-day management.”

Before the workplace scandal, Ellen was one of the most popular personalities on US TV, known for her “be kind” mantra, often taking part in lavish giveaways or acts of charity.

Last year, she apologised to staff but denied the claims of a toxic workplace environment were the reason she is ending her chat show.
