When is Ellen’s last show and why is it ending?

FOR SEVERAL years, audiences have tuned in to episodes of The Ellen Show.

Fans were shocked to learn that Ellen Degeneres is leaving her daytime talk show after 19 seasons.

When will The Ellen Show end?

In September 2003, The Ellen Show debuted on television for the first time.

The talk show series was only one year shy of being on-air for 20 years when Ellen Degeneres decided to pull the plug.

On April 28, 2022, Ellen took to social media to reveal that she had filmed the last episode of her show.

The host said via Twitter: “Today we taped the final episode of The Ellen Show which airs on May 26th.”

She continued: “When we started this show in 2003, the iPhone didn’t exist. Social Media didn’t exist. Gay marriage wasn’t legal.

“We watched the world change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.”

She added: “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.”

“Being invited into your lives has been the greatest privilege of my life and has brought me incredible joy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

On May 26, 2022, the last episode of The Ellen Show hits screens at 3pm ET via NBC.
