Ellen DeGeneres Addresses Being 'Kicked Out of Show Business' for Being 'Mean' During Standup Show

Ellen DeGeneres is traveling the country with her Last Stand...Up tour, which kicked off in San Diego on June 18.

As she kicked off her Last Stand... Up tour on Wednesday in San Diego, California, the 66-year-old comedian opened up about her "cancellation" and discussed her return to the stage -- and the public eye -- two years after she ended her daytime talk show after 19 seasons. Ever the comedian, DeGeneres quipped that while it didn't feel good to read front-page fodder like that, it was doubly awful because it's a title that holds no trophy or prize. In her new tour, the Emmy Award winner echoes her earlier sentiments, telling the crowd on Wednesday during a Q&A portion that she now genuinely doesn't care what people think, but it took her two long and hard years to reach this realization.
