Ellen Degeneres is back in the spotlight two years after the cancellation of her talk show and signalled that the end of her long-running talk show wasn’t entirely her choice.

During a Wednesday (April 24) performance of her Ellen’s Last Stand...Up Tour, the comedian, 66, used the stage to express how she really feels about how The Ellen Degeneres Show ended.
