Ellen DeGeneres Attempts to Be Relatable in the Trailer for Her Netflix Special

Ellen DeGeneres returns to stand-up later this month for her first special in 15 years, and the streaming network released the first trailer today.

It appears that DeGeneres has devoted a good portion of this new special to coming to terms with the fact that she doesn’t exactly embody its title: “I have an issue with all the emotional support animals that people are flying with now.
