Just seen this
Since I'm not from the US I pretty much watched Ellen on youtube for years and her timing is unique and her jokes are so funny cause the punchline is always unexpected. I watched her other standups too. This one stands out in that she's talking openly about the scandal that errupted in the Ellen Show, about aging, about her mom, about her traumas even, all intertwined with chicken tales and bits that soften the standup. The pace is overall slower than the rest of her specials and it feels lukewarm and bittersweet, but it offers closure and I feel she needed that and in a way we, her audience, needed that too.
