Ellen DeGeneres says she’s quitting Hollywood and that we ‘won’t see her again.’
DeGeneres, 66, is an Emmy award-winning TV host who started her career in stand-up comedy bars.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which first aired in 2003, she combined comedy, celebrities, musical guests, and human interest stories.
The daytime show was a huge success for the star, with 19 seasons and millions of viewers each episode.

Former employees began speaking up about what it was like working on the program and even celebrities chimed in, some agreeing with former staffers and others defending DeGeneres.
