Rather than be mixed or scared, she said: "I feel super happy, but listen the show has been incredible to me and I've loved a lot of the experience."
She added: "Listen it's just I gotta mix it up a little bit. I'm 53, my brain is like scrambled eggs ... I gotta do something new or I'm literally gonna turn into, like, [someone who] can't do the New York Times crossword puzzle every single day."

Ellen went on: "I mean ten years, that's more than people keep their kids in their house — like people keep their kids in their house until they're 18 and then they send them off to college, so this is like me, like, going away to college."
