Ellen DeGeneres To Discuss ‘Being Kicked Out Of Show Business’ … In A Netflix Special

It was revealed on Tuesday that disgraced former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will finally address “being kicked out of show business.”

She will be doing this in her very own Netflix special on Sept. 24.

Wait, what?

So Ellen DeGeneres hasn’t actually been kicked out of show business?

Hang on…

The Netflix synopsis of the upcoming Ellen DeGeneres special says, “For the first time in six years, Ellen DeGeneres returns to the stage in her new comedy special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval. The final comedy special of her historic career, Ellen gets personal and reveals what she’s been doing since being ‘kicked out of show business.’”

This is very confusing.

“From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings the laughs through life’s most real and absurd realities,” the synopsis continues.

Hold on…

Diego Ramos Bechara of Variety writes in an article announcing the new comedy special, “Earlier this year, DeGeneres returned to the stage for her stand-up comedy tour, “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour,” where she took significant time to address the controversy around her talk show that began with an internal investigation of poor working conditions on the show.”

So she is still in show business. She’s got a comedy tour.

Wait… as part of her tour’s comedy routine she has gone on stage and said, “Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business.”

She also said, “For those of you keeping score, this is the second time I’ve been kicked out of show business.”

But… she’s still in show business. In fact, she’s talking about being kicked out of show business, while IN show business.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here.

Oh, thank God. I’m not alone.
