In an interview with The Boston Globe, Ellen DeGeneres says she hopes that her proposed upcoming gig as a talk-show host is one that will last. "I'm hoping the talk show will take me far enough into the future so I don't have to do anything else ever again," says DeGeneres, who is about to kick off a nationwide stand-up comedy tour. "I never want to say 'never' [about doing another sitcom]. But it seems that because people know me so well, it's kind of hard for me to be a character. After the Emmys, especially, it felt so right for me to be onstage being me." While DeGeneres's upcoming talk show is contingent upon there being no conflict with her current CBS series, Globe reporter Jim Sullivan writes, "DeGeneres discusses the demise of The Ellen Show as if it's already a done deal."
