US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will be signing off for good on May 26, with actress Jennifer Aniston as the main guest, alongside singers Pink and Billie Eilish.
Aniston’s appearance on the show will be her 20th time as a guest, and will serve as a bookend as she was DeGeneres’ very first guest way back in 2003.
Other guests that will appear before the finale include Oprah Winfrey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Kerry Washington, and Bruno Mars, among others.
During the debut of this last season on September 13, Aniston appeared wearing all black.
In May of last year, DeGeneres announced the show was ending following complaints of the show being a toxic workplace environment from some staff members led to an internal probe from parent company Warner Bros.
As soon as Jennifer walked out onto the stage, she started crying and warmly embraced Ellen. Jennifer threw kisses at the audience before wiping away her tears with a tissue.
Thank you to everyone who is celebrating my final season with me.❤️ pic.twitter.com/3pHMxpTdZN

Ellen, in a green suit with a floral shirt, said thanks to Jennifer as she knows she does not go out a lot and is being careful during Covid-19.
