As this outlet reported, Ellen embraces her role as the “most hated person in Americaduring her comedy tour.
At a recent show at LA’s Club Largo, the former talk show host told the sold-out audience that she was “kicked out of show business” because she was “mean.”
“The hate went on for a long time and I tried to avoid the news. The ‘be nice’ girl wasn’t nice. That was the headline,” Ellen said.
“There are no mean people in show business… I became a one-dimensional character who gave things away and danced on steps,” the ousted host added. “Do you know how hard it is to dance steps? Would a mean person dance steps? If I had ended my show by saying, ‘Go ahead,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised.”
Ellen admitted that she “didn’t know how to be a boss” and “went to ‘Charlie’s Chuckle Hutt'” instead of business school.
