Ellen DeGeneres, the comedian and host of her own talk show, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ is all set to bid adieu to the long running successful series after completion of 19 seasons. She taped her final episode of the show on Thursday, which is set to air on 26th May.
DeGeneres began the show way back in September 2003 and soon captured everyone’s heart with her interviews, humour, and playful segments designed in her show. She thanked her viewers for inviting her into their lives.
Taking to Instagram DeGeneres posted a photo of her sitting on the set of the show with an emotional heart-touching note for her viewers saying, “Today we taped the final episode of The Ellen Show which airs on May 26th.
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. 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. Thank you.”
The show has received 171 Daytime Emmy Award nominations and has won 61 Daytime Emmy Awards as of 2021, including four for outstanding Talk Show and seven for outstanding Talk Show Entertainment, making 11 total awards and surpassing the record held by The Oprah Winfrey Show, which won nine as outstanding Talk Show. The show also won 17 People’s Choice Awards.
