I have to admit, I miss seeing Ellen on television. I don't know how serious the case against her is or whether it's entirely true. I quite enjoy her stand-up comedy. But what I dislike the most is the audience's reaction. It's exaggerated and seems fake. They laugh at many parts that aren't funny. It's as if they are watching a sitcom where someone holds up a sign telling the audience when to laugh. I think people should give her a chance. She deserves it. Sometime people only think about her bad behavior but forget about her goodness during her show. She donated and help so many people. I hope she will do another tv show.

There's nothing groundbreaking here but it's an entertaining hour (which is what you're after right?). Like every comedian and standup it won't be everyone's cup of tea but that's fine.

The weird thing about this show is the audience. There's multiple moments where they don't just clap but holler and cheer overly enthusiastically to something she's said. I couldn't help thinking there was a 'cheering' track added. Some things Ellen says are worthy of a supportive cheer, but others are just humorous comments and the audience reaction is completely OTT.

That irritation aside, if you like non offensive humour you should enjoy it.

Instead of finalizing her career as a comic with something irreverent or groundbreaking, she chose a stale recounting of the last 2 year's headlines. Nothing special & no way to end your groundbreaking career. Ellen has always leaned into her dry approach to comedy but I don't think it suited her here. Yes, we know people called you mean, and if that's not true, that's terrible. One retelling would have sufficed. Ellen carved her own path & she doesn't technically need comedy like most standups, but I sure wish she had gone out with a bang since this is her last special.

It seems she needed this adoration more than she needed the laughs.
