Ellen DeGeneres Now: Comedian’s Final Stand-Up Special Arrives on Netflix
Ellen DeGeneres is releasing one last stand-up special before permanently disappearing from the public eye. The comedian’s final special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, premieres today, September 24, on Netflix.
The new special is her first big project since her long-running talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, came to an end in June 2022, just two years after staffers accused her of creating a “toxic work environment.”

Ellen DeGeneres Biography
January 26, 1958 • Metairie, Louisiana
Comedian, actress, author
AP/Wide World Photos. Reproduced by permission.
Ellen DeGeneres is one of the most popular contemporary comedians and the host of a successful daytime talk show. She is perhaps best known to young audiences as the voice of the endearing but absentminded fish Dory in the blockbuster animated hit Finding Nemo (2003), a role that perfectly captured her rambling, seemingly unrehearsed comic style. After rising through the ranks of stand-up comedy during the 1980s and early 1990s, DeGeneres became a successful television star with her show Ellen in the mid-1990s. Her career became temporarily derailed in the late 1990s, but she got back on track a few years later, surpassing her earlier successes by a long shot. During 2003 DeGeneres published a best-selling book of short stories and essays, toured across the United States with a new stand-up routine, voiced the part of Dory in Finding Nemo, and launched her syndicated talk show.
