WORSENED BY THE AUDIENCE

For comedic content that lands, I'd actually give it a 7 or 8. But two things detract from that. The first is the super-annoying audience. It's obvious that the vast majority of them are her sychophant TV followers, who squeal like pigs at her every utterance and thinks she is god personified. It's unbearable the way they fill the theater with shrieks at her every utterance. They are the polar opposite of hecklers, but just as disturbing. But that's not on her, she can't help who her fans are. What she can help is how she responds to them, which is the second flaw in this special. The last 20 minutes is just sheer pandering to them, with feel-good cliches about how she has learned to love and accept herself, how she will survive. It's an icky, cringy thing to witness the way she and her cult followers get each other off (figuratively). So unless you want to feel like you're at an "Ellen" (TV talk show) reunion, watch the first 40 minutes...and then try to remember her as just one of the better comedians.

I dont hate Ellen. I hate the audience

I have to admit, I miss seeing Ellen on television. I don't know how serious the case against her is or whether it's entirely true. I quite enjoy her stand-up comedy. But what I dislike the most is the audience's reaction. It's exaggerated and seems fake. They laugh at many parts that aren't funny. It's as if they are watching a sitcom where someone holds up a sign telling the audience when to laugh. I think people should give her a chance. She deserves it. Sometime people only think about her bad behavior but forget about her goodness during her show. She donated and help so many people. I hope she will do another tv show.

Ignore the haters.

There's nothing groundbreaking here but it's an entertaining hour (which is what you're after right?). Like every comedian and standup it won't be everyone's cup of tea but that's fine.The weird thing about this show is the audience. There's multiple moments where they don't just clap but holler and cheer overly enthusiastically to something she's said. I couldn't help thinking there was a 'cheering' track added. Some things Ellen says are worthy of a supportive cheer, but others are just humorous comments and the audience reaction is completely OTT.That irritation aside, if you like non offensive humour you should enjoy it.
