The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one of the most popular and iconic talk shows on American television, aired its final episode on Thursday, May 26 after almost 19 years and 3,200 episodes on the air.

My goal was always for the program to be a place where we could all come together and laugh for an hour, no matter what. It has been the greatest honor and joy of my life to be a guest in their lives. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Thank you for your consideration “she expressed herself through her writing
