The stand-up performances will be a part of a Netflix comedy special, DeGeneres announced earlier this year.
Known for her hit TV talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," DeGeneres started off her career on the stand-up stage on New Orleans before being cast in the ABC show "These Friends of Mine." That show would be renamed after the first season to "Ellen," which ran from 1994-1998.
Since, DeGeneres has become a best-selling author, TV show icon, and recipient of numerous awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
