Ellen DeGeneres has cancelled four dates on her stand-up comedy tour, with shows in Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago affected. The reasons for the cancellations are unclear, but the tour is still set to run until mid-August. This tour marks DeGeneres' return to the spotlight after the cancellation of her talk show due to allegations of a "toxic workplace". DeGeneres addressed the audience at the beginning of her Last Stand Up Tour, joking about getting kicked out of show business for being "mean, old, and gay". Despite these setbacks, DeGeneres remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, with plans to release the stand-up show on Netflix. Her career began with the popular sitcom Ellen in 1994, and she has continued to entertain audiences with her comedy and wit.
