Ellen DeGeneres Lets Herself Off the Hook in Self-Indulgent Netflix Special: TV Review

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic “For Your Approval,” the new comedy special starring Ellen DeGeneres, begins with a kind of run-through of DeGeneres’ long career. We open with a shot of DeGeneres in her dressing room, smiling wistfully as she looks into the mirror and sees, overlaying herself, a projected memory of her first appearance on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”; she smiles slightly at the recollection, then gets up to walk down the hallway toward the stage, seeing in monitors, as she walks past, clips from her 1990s sitcom, including her character’s (and her own) coming out as a lesbian.

We thought that was well-written? Oh my god, this is terrible.”The most recent new episode of South Park was ‘The End of Obesity’, the third in a trio of specials that aired on Paramount+ over the last 12 months.The episode contained parodies around the so-called weight loss drug Ozempic, including a spoof sketch where Eric Cartman can’t afford the drug, so his doctor prescribes him ‘Lizzo’, to train him in body positivity so he can stop worrying about his weight.“I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime,” the doctor says.
