a source told ET about how the former host was keeping busy. "Ellen is not retired. She did not renew her show, but she has never not worked," the source said. "Although she has taken some time off from acting, she has a number of brands, an upcoming documentary as part of her Discovery deal, etcetera, that she is working on.

@Mariahm830 She has retired from comedy, that's what the sentence says. Nothing is wrong with it. Sandcat555 (talk) 06:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She has retired from stand up. This currently reads as though she has retired from all projects which is not true. 2603:800C:44F0:9410:75:57FB:CF7C:3F15 (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ellen should be listed as an LGBTQIA icon

In her heading it should list her as an LGBTQIA icon first. Here's a article to support. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lgbt-history-month-icon-ellen-degeneres_n_1940831 DanielReally (talk) 23:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the word "American" should be deleted from the top of the page in front of comedian in the description. She has denounced her citizenship and moved to the UK. If not deleted, at a minimum it should state "former American" comedian. 63.158.19.246 (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. i see sources showing that she moved, but not that she renounced her citizenship, need that to make any changes Cannolis (talk) 07:50, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
