Ellen DeGeneres has opened up about how much she misses being on television, four years after concluding her long-running talk show. The comedian has been away from regular broadcasting for some time, but her latest remarks have sparked speculation regarding a potential return to the screen.
DeGeneres discussed her career while appearing on The Graham Norton Show alongside Quentin Tarantino, Colin Farrell, and Gemma Chan. While she joked that she had no major announcements, she admitted to missing her life in front of the cameras.
"I have nothing really going on and I really miss being on TV," she stated. The star reflected on the small moments she cherished while hosting, from collaborating with writers to interacting with guests.
Her candid admission has resonated with fans who have followed her journey since the conclusion of her daytime program. Referring to her playful rapport with Colin Farrell, she added, "I miss laughing every day with the writers.
I miss kissing Colin." This lighthearted comment highlighted the personal connections she built during her decades-long career. DeGeneres relocated to the UK with her wife, Portia de Rossi, in 2024, marking a significant change in her lifestyle and professional focus.
During the interview, she quipped that securing a show on British television seemed straightforward, jokingly suggesting the title 'Lawn and Order' for a program about watching someone mow a lawn. Her humor remains a staple of her public persona, even as she navigates a quieter period in her life away from the daily grind of production schedules.
Her talk show concluded in 2022 after 19 successful seasons. While DeGeneres has not confirmed any new projects, her comments suggest she remains nostalgic for the entertainment industry.
Whether she pursues a new format or a guest role, her fans remain hopeful that she will find her way back to the medium she helped define for nearly two decades.
