Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, Ellen explained that she’ll know when to hang it up “when people kind of are tired of me, and I think I’ll sense that.”

But she then added, “You know, I’ll walk away, really, when I stop having fun. I actually don’t care about the rest of the people. If I’m having fun and no one’s watching, I don’t care. But if I’m not having fun and everyone’s watching, then I should walk away.”

Meanwhile, Ellen recently returned to standup with her Netflix comedy special Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable, which is streaming now.  But as she told ET, she “almost gave the money back [to Netflix] twice” before she did it.

“I made the deal before I had anything to say. And then, once I made the deal, I panicked,” she admitted.  She says it took her “like a year and a half” to finally come up with the material.

“And then, all of a sudden, it all hit me. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have something to say!'” she recalled. “And the name [of the special] came to me and the whole thing. But it was scary as hell.”
