Ellen DeGeneres delivered her final show on Thursday after 19 years. The comedian opened the series finale with a montage of her previous show entrances throughout the years before going into her monologue and reflecting on the societal progress she feels the world has made as it relates to the LGBTQ+ community of which DeGeneres has long been a part of. "20 years ago, when we were trying to sell the show, no one thought that this would work.
Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different," DeGeneres said. "When we started this show, I couldn’t say ‘gay’ on the show. I was not allowed to say ‘gay.’ I said it at home a lot.
‘What are we having for gay breakfast?’" "We couldn’t say ‘gay.’ I couldn’t say ‘we,’ because that implied that I was with someone," DeGeneres continued. "I sure couldn’t say ‘wife,’ and that’s because it wasn’t legal for gay people to get married, and now I say ‘wife’ all the time." Ellen DeGeneres signed off from "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" for the last time after 19 years on the air. (Michael Rozman and Sarah Haas/Warner Bros.) The camera then cut to DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi, 49, who was sitting in the audience during the final show taping.
"Twenty-five years ago, they canceled my sitcom because they didn’t want a lesbian to be in primetime once a week. I said, ‘Okay, then I’ll be on daytime every day. How about that?’" she added through tears before calling her longtime pal and co-executive producer Stephen "tWitch" Boss, 39, "for the last time, dance with me." "If you don’t mind me saying this, your show is a reflection of what the world actually looks like.
