Ellen DeGeneres has been an entertainment powerhouse for three decades. But the television host and comedian may be considering trading it all for a quieter life Down Under when her talk show contract ends in 2017.

“Ellen will be nearing 60 when her contract ends, and she feels like that’s enough TV for her,” the insider said. “She always told herself she would hang it up when it started to feel like a grind, and it’s been hard to keep up her famous level of enthusiasm year after year.”
