Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Ellen DeGeneres has returned to doing stand up comedy with
Speaker 2: her Ellen's Last stand Up tour that kicked off last
Speaker 2: week in West Hollywood. On stage, Ellen did a lot
Speaker 2: of reflecting on how tragically her talk show Ellen ended.
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty two. Ellen told people that she
Speaker 2: got kicked out of the business because she is quote mean,
Speaker 2: and it took a toll on her self esteem. She said,
Speaker 2: quote people either love you and idolize you, or they
Speaker 2: hate you, and the haters, somehow are louder. You say
Speaker 2: that all the time. Steve Ellen said that she loved
Speaker 2: her talk show yeah, and that this was not the
Speaker 2: way she wanted to end her career. So good for her,
Speaker 2: we say, for returning to stand up and putting it
Speaker 2: all out here. But the cancel culture is very real.
Speaker 2: It's all too real. So Steve, I know you're sad
Speaker 2: about this. Tommy, Yeah, you love Ellen, but Steve Ellen
Speaker 2: is your friend. You and Ellen are are friends. So
Speaker 2: you have any advice for Ellen.
Speaker 1: She's going with your life. You got good life. Damn
Speaker 1: that show. She got plenty of money. Yeah you how
Speaker 1: many shows I have had counsel? Just get out? You know,
Speaker 1: she loved it. But I understand she got put out though,
Speaker 1: because they said she was mean and it was a lie.
Speaker 1: The girl ain't mean. She's one of the nicest people
Speaker 1: I have ever met. You know, if you said they gonna
Speaker 1: put me off because I'm mean, I'll be going, oh, well,
Speaker 1: all right, well I guess I had a nice run.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you said you've been put off a
Speaker 2: lot of shows. But she said she was put off
Speaker 2: and it messed with her self esteem.
Speaker 1: You know, no, man, see it. Listen when when NBC
Speaker 1: counseled little big Shots and the talk show at one
Speaker 1: time two hits but to be trifling to me? Now,
Speaker 1: the guy that did it, he gone, he's nowhere to
Speaker 1: be fine. I'm still here, So and with with with
Speaker 1: with different opportunities presented. Because of that, Ellen has different
Speaker 1: opportunities in front of her. Now. I'm pretty sure she
Speaker 1: was venting as a stand up because that's what we do.
Speaker 1: So she was just venting about it. But you know,
Speaker 1: it ain't really you know, Ellen is fine, y'all, don't.
Speaker 2: Even about that. Come on, Tommy, come on, but I don't.
Speaker 3: Time to get into it. But isn't it kind of
Speaker 3: different for Ellen? You said you got canceled. It was
Speaker 3: an executive decision, and I guess for Ellen it was
Speaker 3: her reputation and the people the pressure. Yeah, we didn't
Speaker 3: know at the backlash, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. She was surprised at the hate, yeah, that
Speaker 1: she was getting and unsolicited. A lot of people can't
Speaker 1: handle hate.
Speaker 2: Why are they calling her mean though? Why because she.
Speaker 1: Can't about everything? Why do people go on podcasts and say,
Speaker 1: somebody ask him to be a king of comedy?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that clears it up for me.
Speaker 1: To say something too, So thank you.
Speaker 2: Coming up thirty four minutes after the hour, our girl
Speaker 2: sister Odell will be in the building. Right after this,
Speaker 2: you're listening Morning show
