Ellen DeGeneres was in tears as she walked out to her beloved audience one last time, taking her final bow on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that is set to air today, May 26th.
With the support of her wife Portia de Rossi and brother Vance DeGeneres sitting in the front row, Ellen could be seen struggling to hold back the tears as she stepped towards the standing ovation. Clearly getting emotional, the TV veteran put her hand on her heart as she said ‘thank you’ to her audience of loving fans.
In a recent interview, talking about the emotional final season, she said: ‘I knew going in that this season was going to be my last season, so I really tried to take everything in. And it’s funny because the last couple of months I was more emotional than I was in the last week or two.’
For her final show, Ellen will be joined by A-List guests Jennifer Aniston, P!nk, and Billie Eilish. Friends icon Jennifer was the very first guest on Ellen’s show back in 2003, and this final episode marks her 20th appearance in total.
Ellen’s last few weeks of the show has been star studded, with household names like Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake, Zac Efron, Bruno Mars and Oprah Winfrey.
As the show comes to a close, the TV star will be spending time in Rwanda with her wife Portia, where she has opened an education campus helping save wild mountain gorillas.
