During the two weeks in the run-up to the finale of her long-running talk show, Ellen DeGeneres was emotional, sources told Page Six.
“Ellen’s been crying a lot,” a source told Page Six. “The whole few weeks leading up to the finale were very emotional.”
DeGeneres, 64, filmed her final episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on April 28.
The last show, which will air May 26, features an A-list lineup of guests, including Jennifer Aniston and Pink — both of whom appeared on the very first episode on Sept. 8, 2003.
Ellen admitted she was ending the show because she thought it was the right time to do so.
“The truth is, I always trust my instincts. My instinct told me it’s time. Two years ago, I signed a deal for three more years and I always knew in my heart that season 19 would be my last.
I want you to know that I’ve thought a lot about this decision. I sat with it for a while. I meditated on it.”
