'Relatable': From talking about her flea-infested mattress to having butlers walk in her library, Ellen DeGeneres returns to stand-up after 15 years
A 60-year-old lady once told me that life is a circle and the point where it started, is the point where it must end. I never fathomed it till date. But when I heard that our beloved talk-show host, Ellen DeGeneres was coming back to stand-up comedy after 15 long years of gracing the couch (and hearts) instead of a stage mic, I was thrilled and recalled what the old lady once said, not that I am emphasizing "the end" part, but get what I am saying? She's back!
On December 4, Netflix dropped the trailer of DeGeneres' upcoming stand-up titled 'Relatable,' which sounds ironic given the plethora of topics she covers on the nearly 2-minute trailer where she talks about not being relatable anymore. Explaining the genesis of the title, she says; "A friend of mine was at my house and I told him, 'I'm going to do stand-up again,' and he said, 'Really?' and I said, 'I was hoping for more than a "really,"' and he said, 'Well, do you think you're still relatable?' Just then two of my butlers stepped into the library."
