Ellen DeGeneres’s Netflix Special Has 70 Applause Breaks
Seriously. 70. We counted them.
With a promise that she’ll address the accusations against her that led to the cancellation of her popular NBC daytime-talk series, DeGeneres weaves together an account of what she’s been doing lately, a vague explanation for her general demeanor as a boss, and classic Ellen-style material about everyday topics like windshield wipers and sweatpants.
