Ellen DeGeneres Jokes She's Been 'Kicked Out Of Show Business' In Trailer For Netflix Special
HuffPost
The former talk show host has said "For Your Approval," due out next week, will be her final project as an entertainer.
Ellen DeGeneres strikes a defiant tone in the new trailer for her forthcoming ― and, she says, final ― live comedy special.
Due out next week on Netflix, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval” finds the former talk show host joking about how she’s been “kicked out of show business” for being “mean,” alluding to the explosive allegations of workplace misconduct that surfaced four years ago and left an indelible mark on her reputation.
“The ‘Be Kind’ girl wasn’t kind, that was the headline,” she explains in the clip, viewable below. “Here’s the problem: I’m a comedian who got a talk show, and I ended the show every day by saying, ‘Be kind to one another.’ Had I ended the show by saying, ‘Go fuck yourselves,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind.”
