Bidding an emotional farewell to the long-running show’s team and audience, DeGeneres acknowledged, “I want to thank my staff and my crew once again, but most importantly, I want to thank Mary [Connelly], Andy [Lassner] and Craig [Peralta].” For the uninitiated, Connelly and Lassner have been the executive producers of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’.

“And if someone is brave enough to tell you who they are, be brave enough to support them, even if you don’t understand. They’re showing you who they are and that is the biggest gift anybody can ever give you. And by opening your heart and your mind, you’re gonna be that much more compassionate. And compassion is what makes the world a better place.”
“Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. I feel the love and I send it back to you. Bye,” she concluded the journey of over 3800 episodes.
