Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres receives a lengthy standing ovation from adoring audiences in a preview clip of the final episode of her talk show.

It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen." "I was really emotional, even though it was my choice, and it's the right choice," she said. She recently told The Hollywood Reporter that the decision to end the show left her "crying every day" but remained certain it was "the right choice".

As the final episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show is broadcast, we look back at some of the appearances from Irish guests on the iconic series.

Irish mentalist and illusionist Keith Barry has been on the Ellen DeGeneres Show some seven times, with his most recent appearance in October 2020. His most recent appearance was this January where he joked that he's been in a "perpetual state of drag for 39 years" thanks to growing up with sisters and having three daughters. Galway girl and Ellen DeGeneres superfan Eimear O’Tuathail, 17, got a trip of the lifetime when she was flown out to LA to perform her song ‘Hey Ellen’ on her idol’s show.

Fighting back tears, Ellen holds a hand to her chest, saying, 'Thank you', with Portia also looking teary. For the final episode, Ellen ...

In my whole time on the show, to my knowledge, I’ve never had a single HR or inter-personal complaint made about me.’ I am a person who likes to make people happy.’ But whatever was happening, my goal was always for the show to be a place where we could all come together and laugh for an hour. I am married to my wife of 18 years, with three children. I really did think about not coming back, because it was devastating,’ she said. I have never had a single complaint of any misconduct against me in my career. Period. I have never ‘groomed’ anyone.’ ‘When we started this show in 2003, the iPhone didn’t exist. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It will be her 20th appearance on Ellen.

A relatively straight forward tweet proved to be Ellen's undoing as the floodgates were opened for people to share their experiences of her 'mean' behaviour ...

Ellen declared she was ending her show in May last year – but avoided referencing the scandal as the reason she was quitting, claiming instead: “When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged—and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore.” It’s all for show.” “She’s also notoriously one of the meanest people alive.

Rumours that life was not rosy backstage came to a head with a 2020 Buzzfeed expose.

She was the cropped haired woman wearing a suit and tie while everyone else was getting blowouts.” And she made it jovial,” said Murphy. “She is one with the celebrities, she’s their friend. “She led the way. “And at the same time, [it] has also been the reason why her integrity and her credibility and authenticity have been questioned.” “That has been both partly the reason why she has also appealed to people, and has been capable of generating that mass appeal,” he said.

I’ve learned that from you and that’s what you did for me,” said DeGeneres in response.

DeGeneres revealed last May that her show would be ending, in an announcement that came months after the program was embroiled in controversy over allegations of workplace toxicity. And in a sneak peek from the farewell, she seems to be soaking up the love.

Despite offers pouring in, outgoing daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres says she's planning on sitting still after 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.'

It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen.” DeGeneres added: “I have to just trust that whatever happened during that time, which was obviously very, very difficult, happened for a reason. “There was a lot that happened during that time that was unfortunate, but it is what it is — you go through stuff in life and you just keep learning and growing. “And three years at the time seemed like an eternity but, looking back on it, it was a blip, and so I can do one year. No matter how good the offer is, just sit for a year,’” DeGeneres said in a Hollywood Reporter interview published Wednesday. “And I’ll tell you, I have an incredible offer right now that I actually got several months before I finished. This time around, a workplace scandal was a major catalyst in the once-beloved program’s undoing and could eclipse its legacy.

With DeGeneres' departure and the end of Wendy Williams' tenure, the daytime landscape continues to change. Earlier this week, she admitted that workplace complaints over the culture within the staff weighed heavily in her decision to end the daytime talk show. She was friendly, treated her guests with a light touch and even made regular people famous, Yahoo reports.

It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen,” DeGeneres concluded. “I’d meditate every day on my intention and how much I wanted to be present and enjoy it and I wanted that for the audience, too,” DeGeneres added. There was a lot that happened during that time that was unfortunate but it is what it is — you go through stuff in life and you just keep learning and growing.

Ellen DeGeneres has experienced an epic fall from grace in recents years following claims she's a 'mean-spirited' person. Here, we take a look at some of ...

“It would have really nice if she had came over and said hello to me… The Twitter user penned: "I worked as her server one time when she and Porsha were at brunch. It's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for 10 days, and everyone in here is gay," Ellen joked at the time. The two stars bickered for a while before Dakota finally said: "That’s not the truth, Ellen, you were invited. And I really have had a hard time grappling with the aftermath.” Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I’m not going to be friends with them. A number of weeks after her appearance on the chat show, she made a number of scathing comments about how Ellen treated her before and after the interview. Lifting the lid on the drama, Nikki said that he time on Ellen made her feel like she was in a 'whole different world' to what's portrayed on TV. I mean be kind to everyone.” However, in an unexpected turn, the defiant actress hit back at Ellen during the live show as she insisted that she was in fact invited to her party, but she had simply failed to turn up - like the previous year. She wrote a letter to the owner and complained about my chipped nail polish (not that it was on her plate but just that it was on my hand). During the tense interview, Ellen hounded Mariah to confirm or deny tabloid rumours that she was pregnant and pressured the star to take a sip of champagne from a glass to determine whether or not she was expecting.

After 19 seasons and 64 daytime Emmy awards, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is saying goodbye.

A few years later, she started “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” But DeGeneres said the drama isn’t why she’s ending the show, calling her staff her “family and best friends.” DeGeneres said, “As great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore.”

The results are so cringe-inducing you might find it difficult to watch. At several points, the star begged for the game to end, but Ellen just kept going as the list of exes just kept getting bigger and bigger. One photo showed the then 21-year-old completely nude while on holiday and Ellen decided to show off the picture live on air, albeit a censored version. Sofia Vergara, best known for her role as Gloria in the hit sitcom Modern Family, has made several appearances on The Ellen Degeneres Show over the years. Dakota Johnson was a guest on the show in 2019 following her 30th birthday, which soon became the topic of conversation during the interview.

Before adding: "I mean once a week was, you know, great, but now it's every day." It will be Jennifer's 20th time as a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, 19 years after Ellen first welcomed the 53-year-old onto her show as her first ever on-set guest when the programme started back in 2003. Jennifer Anniston is set to be Ellen DeGeneres ' last guest on her talk show before the long-running daytime series comes to an end.

One of Ellen DeGeneres' last guests, her pal Jennifer Aniston, had quite the joke about her divorce from Brad Pitt on the talk show's finale.

And I hope I’ve been able to inspire you to make other people happy and to do good in the world, to feel like you have a purpose. “I wanted to be a singer because I wanted to grow up and change the world and make it a better place," P!nk told DeGeneres. "You’ve done that in so many ways. "I hope that what I’ve been able to do in the last 19 years has made you happy, and that I was able to take a little bit of pain away from a bad day or anything you’re going through. So I am proud of this, but I’m proud of the family and the team that we have put together here." I feel the love, and I send it back to you. And if someone is brave enough to tell you who they are, be brave enough to support them, even if you don’t understand. "I want to rest, and then I’ll do something again, but I don’t know what it is.” "I walked out here 19 years ago, and I said that this is the start of a relationship. “When we started this show I couldn’t say, ‘gay’ on the show ... I said it at home, a lot. “Twenty-five years ago, they canceled my sitcom because they didn’t want a lesbian to be in prime time once a week," DeGeneres went on. It is the greatest experience I have ever had, beyond my wildest imagination So tWitch, one last time, dance with me." And today is not the end of a relationship.

'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' aired its series finale on May 26 with guests Jennifer Aniston, Billie Eilish and Pink. Here's how it wrapped up.

I feel the love and I send it back to you. Connelly and Lassner have executive produced “ The Ellen DeGeneres Show” since its debut, while Peralta has been DeGeneres’ chief of staff for 25 years. “You started this show the year after I was born. And if someone is brave enough to tell you who they are, be brave enough to support them, even if you don’t understand. “I just kind of leaned into the end.” I would walk into the kitchen and my mom would be watching you.” After noting that Aniston had been on the show 20 times over the years, DeGeneres asked how the actor dealt with the conclusion of “Friends” after 10 seasons in 2004. “I sure couldn’t say ‘wife,’ and that’s because it wasn’t legal for gay people to get married, and now I say ‘wife’ all the time.” The camera cut to DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi grinning in the audience. “I was so scared,” Eilish said, recalling that episode. “25 years ago, they canceled my sitcom because they didn’t want a lesbian to be in primetime once a week. Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different,” she said. I was not allowed to say ‘gay.’ I said it at home a lot.

A teary-eyed Ellen DeGeneres bid farewell to her daytime audience of 19 seasons on the final episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“I got a divorce and went into therapy,” the actress recalled. Pink followed with a performance of “What About Us.” “I did movie called The Break-up. I kind of leaned into the end.” After dancing with her longtime deejay/cohort tWitch, aka Stephen Boss, to “Best of My Love,” DeGeneres greeted Aniston for her 20th and final appearance on the show. I walked out here 19 years ago and I said this is the start of a relationship. And today is not the end of a relationship, it’s more of a little break,” DeGeneres told the crowd.

Ellen DeGeneres brought her nearly two-decade daytime talk show to an end Thursday with a celebrity lovefest.

“By opening your heart and your mind you're going to be that much more compassionate, and compassion is what makes the world a better place." The talk show represented a second major TV act for DeGeneres. In 1997, she made an indelible mark when she came out as lesbian and brought her character on the ABC sitcom “Ellen” with her. DeGeneres' daytime reign hit a serious bump in 2020, when the show was alleged to be a toxic workplace and three producers exited amid the claims. DeGeneres noted the “Friends” star has been on the show a total of 20 times. She introduced a career retrospective video that also touted DeGeneres' philanthropic efforts, said to include more than $400 million in donations to charities and “deserving viewers.” “I love you," a beaming Eilish told DeGeneres during their chat.

“If I’ve done anything in the past 19 years, I hope I’ve inspired you to be yourself — your true authentic self,” DeGeneres said. “When we started the show, I couldn’t say ‘gay.’ I was not allowed to say ‘gay.’ I say it at home a lot — you know, ‘What are we having for our gay breakfast?’ or ‘Pass the gay salt,’ or ‘Has anyone seen the gay remote?’ — but we couldn’t say ‘gay.’ I couldn’t say ‘we’ because that would imply that I was with someone. “When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore,” she said May 2021. “God, I love her,” DeGeneres remarked, introducing the series’ very last musical act.

“I did a movie called The Break-Up. I just kind of leaned into the end.” Billie Eilish acknowledged the show was a regular presence in her household. “You started this show the year after I was born,” she said. “And if someone is brave enough to tell you who they are, be brave enough to support them, even if you don’t understand. “When we started the show, I couldn’t say ‘gay.’ I was not allowed to say ‘gay.’ I say it at home a lot—you know, ‘What are we having for our gay breakfast?’ or ‘Pass the gay salt,’ ‘Has anyone seen the gay remote?’—but we couldn’t say ‘gay.’ I couldn’t say ‘we,’ because that would imply that I was with someone. “You can see other talk shows now, and I may see another audience once in a while.” Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different,” DeGeneres said.

Ellen DeGeneres bid a tearful farewell to her daytime talk show on Thursday, saying that the show had "forever changed my life."

Noting that there was resistance to the show and that few gave it a chance of surviving, DeGeneres promised that she wouldn't be gone for long. Aniston gave her a welcome mat that read "Thanks for the memories." "Today is not the end of a relationship, it's more of a little break," she said.

“You really have made an indelible mark on this world, and you’ve made it OK for people to be who they are.” I would walk into the kitchen, and my mom would be watching you.” “You started this show the year after I was born. And now I say wife all the time,” she continued. “I walked out here 19 years ago, and I said this is the start of a relationship. Turning to the show’s origins, DeGeneres continued: “Twenty years ago, when we were trying to sell the show, no one thought that this would work.

Jennifer Aniston, Billie Eilish, and Pink joined DeGeneres for her final episode.

“I wanted to be a singer because I wanted to grow up and change the world and make it a better place. I feel the love, and I send it back to you. And I hope I’ve been able to inspire you to make other people happy and to do good in the world, to feel like you have a purpose.” I hope that what I’ve been able to do in the last 19 years has made you happy, and that I was able to take a little bit of pain away from a bad day or anything you’re going through. In the series’ final moments, DeGeneres recreated another moment from her first episode, walking over to a couch and watching herself on a television screen. By opening your heart and your mind, you’re going to be that much more compassionate, and compassion is what makes the world a better place. The second guest was a newer friend, Billie Eilish, who told DeGeneres, “You started this show the year after I was born. During Aniston’s segment, the actor gifted DeGeneres a “Thanks for the memories” floor mat, throwing it back to the “Welcome” mat she had given the host for her first episode. But first, the monologue: “I walked out here 19 years ago, and I said this is the start of a relationship. I would walk into the kitchen, and my mom would be watching you.” And today is not the end of a relationship, it’s more of a little break. Very few stations wanted to buy the show, and here we are, 20 years later, celebrating this amazing journey together.”

LEILA FADEL, HOST: Ellen DeGeneres's talk show will end its run today after 19 years and more than 3,000 episodes. NPR TV critic Eric Deggans says DeGeneres ...

The backlash was tough. DEGGANS: That's DeGeneres speaking at Tulane University's 2009 commencement about the coming out episode. I mean, why can't I just say the truth, I mean, be who I am? DeGeneres' show emphasized the phrase be kind to one another, saying it at the end of episodes, creating a line of merchandise with the slogan, featuring charity drives and giveaways, and developing a subscription box filled with items she selected called the Be Kind box. ELLEN DEGENERES: I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. Still, there is a dark cloud over the show's approaching end, namely allegations published by BuzzFeed in the summer of 2020, featuring former employees saying the show was a toxic workplace, culminating in the departure of three top executives and an on-air apology from DeGeneres herself.
