With Ellen DeGeneres’ long-running chat show coming to an end after 19 seasons, many fans have looked back at the highs and lows of her career. Recently, the 64-year-old revealed that she had experienced “excruciating” back pain after contracting COVID-19 during the pandemic.
DeGeneres made the decision to step away from the spotlight following allegations that her show had a toxic work environment. She shifted her focus to her passion for animal conservation, completing the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda.
