The comedian appeared on The Ellen Show this week, and while her time is usually all fun and games and full of shenanigans with the host, her most recent visit was more sentimental than comedic, as she revealed it would be her last time on the show.

Many celebrities will be experiencing the same feeling of good riddance, since this year marks the end of Ellen DeGeneres' iconic program, which first premiered in 2003.

Amy took to Instagram to share an emotional dedication to Ellen, reminiscing over her many appearances with her through a series of hilarious pictures, explaining how impactful she was to her career.

The initial image is of her very first time on the show, which she revealed was a whooping 15 years ago.

In it, she looks baby-faced yet unchanged, waving to the camera as a microphone stands in front of her.

She began her caption with a heartfelt revelation about why the moment meant so much to her, writing: "I'm gonna be on @theellenshow tomorrow for the last time. This is a shot of my first time 15 years ago. Ellen was the first person to have me do standup on their talk show."

The rest of the pictures she posted were each more and more hilarious and nonsensical than the one before, and featured unforgettable moments between the two, games they played, costumes she wore, and even an appearance by Hillary Clinton.
