Summary
Is Ellen DeGeneres done with Hollywood? Based on what she recently told a crowd in Santa Rosa, California, it sure sounds like it. She’s been laying pretty low since her controversial exit from her talk show. But during a Q & A session as part of her “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up” comedy tour, an audience member asked the former daytime queen if she had plans to return to the spotlight. The Emmy-winner made it clear that after she releases her Netflix stand-up special later this year, she’s done with show biz! Does she mean it, or is she just joking around?
