Netflix is now showing the stand-up special described as her last, "Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval" where she also takes the bull by the horns.

I've spent a lifetime trying to make people happy and I've cared too much about what people think of me. So the thought that someone thought I was mean devastated me, it ate away at me for a long time, she says in the program, reports People.

Today, Ellen DeGeneres is 66 years old and thinks she has gained perspective on life.

"The Ellen DeGeneres Show" was broadcast for 19 years and was for a long time one of the most popular programs in the genre in the USA. However, before its closure in 2022, the program was shaken by testimony from employees about misconduct during production, which led to an internal investigation by the TV company Warner Media – and an apology to the staff from DeGeneres herself.
