The final episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show has been filmed. The 64-year-old actress mused on how much has changed in the world since the first episode of The Ellen Show aired in 2003, and thanked fans for their continued support. ‘Today we taped the final episode of The Ellen Show, which airs on May 26th,’ she posted on Instagram.
‘The iPhone didn’t exist when we started this show in 2003. There was no such thing as social media back then. It was not lawful to marry a gay man.

Ellen DeGeneres is waving farewell to her talk show, which must be an emotional occasion for her. The comedian took to Instagram to share a photo of herself sitting in her chair on the set of her talk show, along with a letter thanking her fans. “Today we taped the final episode of The Ellen Show, which airs on May 26th,” she captioned the shot.
Over the course of 19 seasons, Ellen has had over 4,000 guests on her Emmy-winning talk show, and the final edition will feature some major hitters. The star-studded lineup includes Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, Channing Tatum, Zac Efron, Serena Williams, Jennifer Garner, Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, David Letterman, and Ellen’s wife Portia de Rossi.
The final episode airs a year after Ellen announced her decision to discontinue her talk show due to a series of ‘toxic workplace’ complaints.
