Ellen DeGeneres might still be in the prime of her career, but she’s already thinking about the end. In an new interview, the daytime talk show host spoke candidly retirement and revealed how she’ll know when it’s time to throw in the towel.
"I hope I know when,” Ellen, 61, told Entertainment Tonight during an event for her Relatable Netflix special. “Maybe when people kind of are tired of me, and I think I'll sense that."
“People get tired of people, especially in today's age,” she explained.
However, after giving it some thought, the Louisiana native added, "You know, I'll walk away really when I stop having fun. I actually don't care about the rest of the people.”
