What Happened To Ellen DeGeneres? The Host’s Ups And Downs Since Her Talk Show Ended

Ellen DeGeneres could fill an entire room of her California estate with the trophies she’s won over the years. Her impressive award collection includes Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards, the People’s Choice and Kids Choice Awards, and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. (Okay, maybe she doesn’t display her Stinkers Bad Movie Award for her role in “Mr. Wrong,” but knowing her, she just might.)

In 2020, the host received yet another honor that perhaps meant more to her than any other. She was the second-ever recipient of the Carol Burnett Award, given to comic performers who have distinguished themselves both in their professions and their personal impact. In her speech (per “Today”), DeGeneres recalled the influence the legendary comedian had on her life and career. “We counted on her to make us feel good, and she delivered every single week. She never let us down … I always felt like she was speaking to me. At the end of her show, every time she pulled her ear, I knew she was saying, ‘It’s OK, I’m gay, too.’”

She added (via People), “But the real power of television for me is not that people watch my show, but people watch my show and then they’re inspired to do the same thing in their own lives. They make people laugh, or be kind, or help someone who is less fortunate than themselves. And that is the power of television, and I’m so, so grateful to be a part of it.”
